hello Mark, and all My interfaces(i have 2 netcards in the server, one being the publik one (publik.x.x.x), and the other one is serving my OWN private little 192.168. subnet containing only my workstation, but that is NOT the prob) are correctly setup, as is the rest of the samba setup on MY machine, but the other one from the 10.5. net cant figure out the syntax for connecting to mine... My machine is IN one of the nets, it is NOT the machine connecting the two nets , just in case you missunderstood me on that point Thanks though for the link to the online Samba Book greets, alex On Sun, 16 Apr 2000, Mark B Withers wrote:

Hello Alex!

I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I'll take a stab at the one that stands-out the most to me.

From what I've read in "Using Samba", the one configuration option that stands out to me is the "interfaces" attribute.

interfaces = 192.168.220.100/255.255.255.0 \ 134.213.233.110/255.255.255.0

This option would cause the samba server to send data to more than one interface. Samba by default only listens to the primary network interface, so you have to specify if you wish it to listen to other ones. This is assuming that the samba server is the machine not sharing its resources with the newer ones on the new subnet you spoke of.

The "Using Samba by Robert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown and Peter Kelly" is freely available on the web at:

http://samba.he.net/using_samba/

If the site is searchable, just search for "interfaces" and it should take you where you wish to go.

Hope this helps!
