Topic: SAMBA on SME and Multiples Subnets - Cant Connect

[luisl]

Hi..and thanks in advance. (and sorry by the english)

I have a private WAN made with wireless hardware.

One Multipoint access node and 5 node linked to it.

The wireless WAN subnet is 10.1.1.X/255.255.255.0

I have a ONE SME Server & One Windows Server o each node and Multipoint node with subnet:

192.168.1.X/255.255.255.0
192.168.5.X/255.255.255.0
192.168.10.X/255.255.255.0
192.168.15.X/255.255.255.0
192.168.25.X/255.255.255.0
192.168.30.X/255.255.255.0

I linked each subnet to wireless node with Micronet Router, with static routing table and define localnetwork en each SME linux server pointing gateway of each subnet define as localnetwork to the ip address of micronet router

I can ping, http, https, ssh, pop3, smtp from any point to linux server in each node but i can't access to samba resources like \\ipaddress\resourcename

On Windows 2k Server.. I can access to share resourcen, next to answer de logon dialog Username & Password valid on remote server.

My SME Linux's are on server only mode but i try to change to server and gateway mode with any positive result.

I used windows 2000 DNS as default DNS on each subnet but y try shutdown windows 2000 server on one subnet and switch DNS service to Linux without any positive result.

The version of SME server go from 5.5 to 6.01 with the same problem.

I have full access to resorces shares on windows PC's.

Any body can help me please... What log I can read to see wath is happeing.

I dischard a firewall rule (server only mode) and smb.conf reflex the subnet define like localnetwork.

Thank Again

Did you list all your private subnets in the "local networks" menu of server-manager?

[luisl]

Yes!.. I double check local network definitions on server manager.

Any body now what log of SAMBA or Kernel i can review to verify conection timeout ?

I scan port from remote network and service like smtp, pop3, imap, http, https, ssh have open port but nothing with netbios port asociate.

I flush ipchain ( in sme 5.5 version) rules to try, but nothing

Thank again.. i temporaly move (I hate myself by this)file sharing from linux to windows server while discover a solution to this problem.


Thanks..

Check your /etc/smb.conf files for list of allowed networks/host
I've seen on SME6.5 betas its not updated by automated scripts.
Try to rebuild this file from the template and restart samba.

The problems was not SME, the micronet router make this behaviator.. i replace this router with a Linksys BEFVP41 programed just like a router and anything is all right

THANKS!!!

Good Morning,

If you have Windows workstations, look into the lmhosts file. I've had to use that to hop various subnets even though I had added the multiple subnets to the SME box as local networks.
