I'm not using a NT domain controller, but I think NT, as well as Win95/98, will hold local elections to see which machine will carry the browsing list every 15 minutes or so... I'm not sure if additional information is sent from NT (without an initial client message); a DHCP service may operate this way (?).
I'm wondering if Linux/ipmasq can assign the 137-139 ports for each of the internal client machines as other ports of the Linux box and communicate to the external machines as if multiple copies of samba were running on the same machine. Lately I've been playing with ipchains on the Linux box and now I can no longer connect to the external machines from the internal machines, with the exception of connecting to the WINS server (?). Other than upgrading the ipmasq package, I don't know what I changed to cause this to happen. I'm going to try disabling all the security rules and that helps. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: Marc MacIntyre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 25, 1999 6:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Samba/Windows/etc over IP Masquerading Paul, I saw your post on the mailing list, and am facing the same problem. I did a tcpdump from my masquerade server, looking for possible traffic, and didn't see anything that was obviously a failing connection. Could the NT domain controller be trying to establish a connection back to the masqueraded clients? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marc MacIntyre Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always ducked when someone threw a chair at him? -
