From: Dave Coventry on 20 Jun 2008 08:50 Hi, I have the following network: ---------- |Internet| ---------- | -------------------- --------------------- |Wireless Modem |- ))----((- |'admin' on DHCP | | on 10.0.0.* | | --------------------- -------------------- | ---------------------- | -(( |'client1' on DHCP | |wired ---------------------- | -------------------- |Wireless Router | ---------------------- | on 192.168.0.* |- ))----((- |'client2' on DHCP | -------------------- ---------------------- I hope the above diagram is not TOO mangles... For example, if 'admin' has been allocated the ip 10.0.0.6. I can ping 10.0.0.6 from both 'client1' and 'client2' I can ping 'admin' from 'client1' but 'client2' says 'could not find host' In other words, the hostname 'admin' only gets resolved on the 10.0.0.* subnet. Any computer on the 192.168.0.* subnet can 'see' 'admin's' ip, but not the hostname 'admin'. The Admin computer is running Ubuntu Hardy, The Clients are running XP. Can I remedy this through Samba with WINS? Or do I need to set up a DNS on the 'admin' machine? Simplest option, of course would be set set up 'admin' as a static ip. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba |
