Re: Running Samba on a WAN
1. When opening network neighborhood and double clicking the Samba_server icon I get:
\\Samba_server is not accessible.
The network path was not found.
2. When right clicking the icon and selecting properties I get:
The server Samba_server could not be found on the network.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David Owens

Re: Running Samba on a WAN
your "fault" is using M$ ideas on a WAN: SMB (Server Message Block) was intended for LANs only!
Hence they use a lot of broadcasts, and your WAN-setup (read: routers) do NOT route those (and they should not, in my opinion). But then, without broadcasts, how would your station "learn" about the existence of the Samba-server?
This is the time to configure your "Computer Browsers", e.g. by using (argh) "WINS"...
Sorry,
Wodisch

Re: Running Samba on a WAN
I was able to get this working. First, I reluctantly configured WINS with no success. I still got the same error messages when selecting Samba_server from network neighborhood.
Next, I decided to bypass all this and just try mapping a network drive using the IP address of the Samba server. Instead of mapping \\Samba_server\share, I used \\IP_Address\share and it works fine. So, even though SMB is blocked through our routers, TCP/IP still works.
Does anyone see any problems with this scenario?

Re: Running Samba on a WAN
it is not SMB that is blocked, but broadcasts. And your problem is only the name resolution - you could overcome that with proper entries in the clients "LMhosts" file, or by configuring them to use the WINS server (and telling Samba to announce itself to WINS).
Just to clarify,
