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.
