I read the link but I need to read it again after looking up some references in it to better understand it. However, I have one doubt that needs to be clarified. As I described earlier, I have three separate networks on my LAN: wired network (192.168.0.0/24) wireless network (192.168.5.0/24) VPN (172.16.15.0/24) When I start samba on the firewall machine "ROUTER" , I see the following in its log: ***** Samba name server ROUTER is now a local master browser for workgroup ROUTERSMB on subnet 192.168.0.1 ***** <SNIP> ***** Samba name server ROUTER is now a local master browser for workgroup ROUTERSMB on subnet 192.168.5.1 ***** This leads me to two questions. If I can browse the share from both of these networks, why can't I do so from VPN? And, on a related note, why do only these two networks act as a local browser and why doesn't VPN (172.16.15.0/24) also do so? -- Please reply to this list only.
