samba fileshare across 2 diffrent workgroup
Hi
im trying to configure samba on linux server so win client can access the shared files but my win client is on diffrent domain , we recently changed our domain name but not for certain servers...

i guess the samba linux server is still part of our sub domain which is why i still can access it .. but i can see that the fully qualified name is diffrent for win clients and samba linux server. is it possible to access share across multiple domain ?

Yes, its possbile. Just look at any of a sample smb.conf file. You'll find a tag name either [domain] or [workgroup].

Look at the man pages too.

what do i set workgroup to then ? domain1,domain2?

" workgroup = mygroup : this is the name of your network group. It is important that both Samba and Windows are in the same workgroup. Please read your Windows documentation on how to change your Windows pc's workgroup name.

Naming is what you'd choose. It dependes on you, but make sure windows and your samba conf file have same workgroup (however this is not a requirement to be able to communicate & share files sucessfully ).

However, as a suggestion, look at the name of your windows workgroup and put that name into the samba configuration file.

Make sure both windows and the Linux machine are on the same subnet (LAN) and are pingable from each other when you set their ip addresses.

Thats it. You'r done.
