I knew this was going to be a problem with the routing split. (another issue will be multicast dns) Like so many other things, I'd like to get this to zero configuration, while keeping wireless and wired interfaces separated... The fix : 1) install wins support with the samba3 package (via: opkg update opkg install samba3 luci-app-samba (or install via the web interface) 2) configure it to be in the workgroup and announce on the subnets. It should then become the 'master' browser for that domain. While I recall this setup as straightforward (edit either /etc/config/samba and/or /etc/samba/smb.conf.template) and used it to share a flash disk across a XP/Vista network as well as printers, that was waaaay back in may. however I do not know if windows 7 has 'extra' firewalling features in re subnets at this point. As an enterprise OS I sure would hope not and it's merely the missing wins announcement that is failing you. start it via /etc/init.d/samba3 start Wash, rinse, repeat. When it works... 3) Enable it on boot via the web interface > Thanks - Jim > -- Dave Täht
