Samba share cannot cross segment
I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our
entire network and the other only works within it's own segment. I have
poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one
from crossing segments.
I can ping the WINS servers from the bad Samba server. I have two NT 4.0
WINS servers that have a PUSH / PULL relationship set up. I have checked
the database on the WINS server that is on the segment that cannot see the
shares from the bad server. It has an entry with the correct IP for the bad
server. I can see the bad server in the browser list from the segment but
when I click on a share I get:
\\Device is not accessible
The network path was not found
I can also see the good server but I can open it's shares.
These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just
modifying the default smb.conf files. I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes will
help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
