Linux Bridge, Samba netbios name/hostname access
- by Christopher Wilson
I am currently running a linux bridge in the following configuration
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
