I am currently running a linux bridge in the following configuration

alt text

ADSL Modem: 192.168.1.1

Linux Bridge:

eth0: 192.168.1.2

eth1: no address

Wireless Router: 192.168.0.1

My issue is that i cannot access the "Linux Bridge" shares using the WINS name of the server via client systems (yes i understand it is a transparent bridge but i can access it via the 192.168.1.2 address this is not on the same subnet as the client systems).

This is the global section of my SMB.CONF

[global]
        unix extensions = off
        os level = 20
        netbios name = server
        guest account = nobody
        server string = 447 Server
        security = share
        #unix extensions = no
        #wins support = yes
        #wins server = 192.168.0.1
        name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
        interfaces bridge1 eth0 eth1 lo
        bind interfaces only = yes

Can i access a bridged server using it's WINS name to access samba shares?

Cheers

Chris
