Russ, what your looking for is a couple things...
#1 when the laptop is back up and running... see if you can connect to YOUR
fbsd machine. e.g. \\FBSD\SHARE.
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.

Subject: RE: natd and MS Network Neighborhood
Thanks for the quick replies. 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<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> 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 <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> 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.
