If not then you need to tell samba to bind to that interface also, add this line to your smb.conf. I believe I read the netmask right from your email, if I'm wrong, please correct it. interfaces=128.173.173.159/255.255.252.0 192.168.173.1/255.255.252.0 bind interfaces only = no Now you may not be able to see the server in the network neighborhood yet but you should be able to connect to it from the laptop using \\FBSD\SHARE. #2 You need to implement cross subnet browsing. This requires that the master browser on your networks is a WINS server and also must be a SAMBA machine. wins support = yes local master = yes remote browse sync = 128.173.175.255 192.168.175.255 If that doesn't work, scratch the above settings and try the following wins proxy = yes If that doesn't work I'm not sure what to tell you... I'll keep working on it since you can test this right away anyway, and I'm really curious. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Russell D.

I've been trying to resurrect my laptop from an unrelated disk problem, but I didn't want to leave your questions/suggestions ignored. According to Christopher Michaels - SSG (February 12, 1999): | #1) are you on an NT network or are you using other samba servers, or | non-of-the-above? I *believe* the MS network has 1 samba server and no NT servers. | #2) is the FBSD machine the master browser? (probably not) No. | #3) is the laptop on the same subnet as the FreeBSD machine? The FreeBSD machine has two ethernet ports: 1 on the department subnet (de0), the other (ed0) on my office subnet (just the laptop, on a private network: de0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 128.173.173.159 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 128.173.175.255 ether 00:00:f8:07:d4:a0 media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.173.1 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.175.255 ether 02:60:8c:a6:bd:57 | #3a) is the laptop on the same subnet as the rest of the network? (probably | not) No. | #4) can you manually connect to a ms machine on your network? e.g. open up | explorer and go to \\SAMBA\SHARE (please type something real here). The laptop is (more or less) dead at the moment; I don't think this was possible. And, According to Christopher Michaels - SSG (February 12, 1999): | HENCE.. the question, is he on an NT network? AND.. what version of | samba is he running? NT network? No. Samba: neale [rdmurphy]% /usr/sbin/pkg_info -a -c | grep Information | grep samba Information for samba-1.9.18.8: According to Kent Stewart (February 12, 1999): | I have also used the browser across switches and routers. You may have to | set your routers and etc. to pass the MS stuff. You also need a master | brower (NT preferred) in each segment. What MS stuff do I have to pass on? I assume that the issue is whether or not the FreeBSD natd firewall passes this stuff on (?). I'll check as to whether or not there's something in samba (or a newer version of same) that will let me look across subnets. Thanks much.
