I have a home network with 2 routers.
My 192.168.2.x network has a couple of windows boxes (some wireless) behind a linkSys router. This network feeds to my 192.168.1.x network which connects to the internet through a second router. My linux box (samba print server) is on the 192.168.1.x network and has a static IP. I just moved to this setup when I got Verizon FIOS. (Their wireless router has poor range.)
Problem. Since moving, I can't print to the samba-served printer from the windows boxes. I have modified samba to accept connections from the 192.168.2.x machines. Here's my samba log for the machine that tries to print.
I might well be mistaken, but don't Windows systems have to be on the same network to interact with each other? If that is indeed the case, then the Windows systems won't be able to work with the Samba server very easily. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- William Smith wsmith-at-chezsmith-dot-com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com "For every complex problem, there is an answer which is short, simple and wrong." -- H.L.
