Hello,

i'm trying to setup a samba file server, but i need your advices.

the goal of my setup is to share a folder from a linux server to windows
clients (for the moment i do my tests using smbclient on linux hosts).

The server and the client are on different subnets, but they can ping
themselves.

Samba is installed on the server (192.168.0.1/24), and smbclient is
available on the client (192.168.1.1/24), connected thru a gateway.

the problem is that i can't connect to the server from another subnet
via samba.

here is smb.conf from the server (taken from the o'reilly book 'using
samba'):

[global]
netbios name = server
workgroup = GARDEN
wins support = yes
dns proxy = yes
[test]
comment = For testing only, please
path = /export/tmp
read only = no

server side:
[root(a)server etc]# ping client
PING client (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from client (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.924 ms

[root(a)server etc]# smbclient -L server -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[GARDEN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.37]

[root(a)server etc]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

client side:
[root(a)client]# ping server
PING server (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from server (192.168.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.497 ms

[root(a)client]# smbclient -L server -N
Connection to hercule failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)

when i connect from another client (located on the server's subnet, ie
192.168.0.2/24), it works:

-bash-3.2$ smbclient -L server -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[GARDEN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.37]

To resume my problem, i can not connect to a samba server from a client
located on another subnet.
Thank for your help.

Julien
