Hi there,

I have a problem regarding browsing across subnets, on a VPN I am setting up.

We have two subnets, connected via an ipsec connection. 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0. \
All the machines on subnet 192.168.2.0 can see all the machines on subnet \
192.168.1.0, but those on 192.168.1.0 can only see the machines on their own subnet, \
plus the local master for 192.168.2.0.

So, it seems as if HomeServer (see below) is notifying OfficeServer correctly that it \
exists, but is failing to tell it about the other machines on it's subnet. I can \
sucessfully type '\\home1\sharename' from any of the office machines, with no \
problems. So the machines are able to communicate with each other, and look each \
other's names up across the subnets... But the browse list isn't getting organised \
properly.


Our network is set up like this:

---

Office network ( 192.168.1.0 )

OfficeServer - 192.168.1.1
Domain Master = Yes
Local Master = Yes
Preferred Master = Yes
Os Level = 100
Wins Enabled = Yes

Office1 - 192.168.1.100
Win9x client
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1

Office2 - 192.168.1.101
Win2k client
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1

Office3 - 192.168.1.102
WinXP client
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1

---

Home network ( 192.168.2.0 )

HomeServer 192.168.2.1
Domain Master = No
Local Master = Yes
Preferred Master = Yes
Os Level = 65
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1
Wins Enabled = No

Home1 - 192.168.2.100
Win9x client
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1

Home2 - 192.168.2.101
Win2k client
Wins Server = 192.168.1.1

---

If I say 'smbclient -L //officeserver' it tells me:

.. some shares ..

--Server--
HomeServer
OfficeServer
Office1
Office2
Office3

--Workgroup--
MYWORKGROUP    OfficeServer

If I say 'smbclient -L //homeserver' it tells me:

--Server--
HomeServer
Home1
Home2
OfficeServer
Office1
Office2
Office3

--Workgroup--
MYWORKGROUP    HomeServer


Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon
