Hopefully the act of articulating my goals and setup will illucidate more clear thinking on my part, so here goes... [Also, if anyone knows this stuff, I'd be happy to take this off-list. Thanx much in advance.] * Scenareo 1: Samba on same subnet as win-2000 client. * Scenareo 2: Samba server at MIT, win98 at home behind a router (probably will never work) * Scenareo 3: Samba at MIT, win-NT domain behind a router at my other office Scenareo 1 is what Samba was designed for, so I really should be able to get this working. But no matter what I do, I can't get the win2000 box to browse the Samba share. Sometimes the server name actually shows up in the browse list, but I keep getting a net error 53 (network path not found), or error 1234 (no service at specified location). I'll include the smb.conf for below. Do either of the other scenareo's have a chance of working? Do I need to somehow tell the routers to pass announce messages, or do I need to explicitly open ports 137 and 139 before browsing is possible? What address do I give to Samba to send browse sync and announce messages to - the WAN side of the router? Virtual addresses 192.168... don't seem to make sense unless the Samba server is physically connected on the same net ... ### smb.conf [global] netBIOS name = BARAJAS workgroup = ATIC security = user encrypt passwords = yes os level = 34 prefered master = yes local master = yes domain logons = yes server string = Samba Server [www] comment = apache management path = /usr/local/www browseable = yes valid users = root rjc public = no writable = yes printable = no ### end of smb.conf Rich Caloggero
