Ok Guys here is my situation. I live on a college campus i have a
windows xp pro computer hooked up to the rest of the network through a
fedora linux gateway. On the out side network there are a bunch of
windows network workgroups that i would like to be able to browse from
my windows computer.
This is what i currently have set up. On the linux gateway i have a
samba server set up. From the linux computer i can see all of the
computers on the out side network and my one windows computer. From my
windows computer i can see all of the computers that are part of the
same workgroup and all of the other workgroups on the network. I
cannot however browse any of the computers except for the linux
computer. They all say that they are not accessable and the network
path was not found. Also when i try to browse the other workgroups i
can't see any of the compters in them. From other computers on the
network i can see the linux computer and browse the shares i set up on
it.
I want to be able to browse all of the network computer from my windows
computer and if possible i would like to be able to see my computer
from the outside network. This is not important becasue i could always
mount my drives on the linux machine and share them that way. Thank
you for any help you can offer. I have been trying to do this for some
time and haven't really found any body that has tried to do the same
thing. Thanks again you are appreciated.
