Since the "openwrt" workgroup appeared to be working, I thought I would name the "openwrt" workgroup back to "workgroup" (by editing /etc/config/samba), to be compatible with the other computers in the house. In other words, I could swap my old router back in if needed, and the local networking would still work (they wouldn't rely on an openwrt master). That was a mistake, I now couldn't set the first computer to "workgroup" because it said there was another "workgroup" already on the network (maybe my wife's computer, which hadn't been re-configured for openwrt). So I modified /etc/config/samba to use "openwrt" again. I shut down all the computers in the house, as well as the router. I rebooted the router and waited. Then I rebooted my PC which was previously working. I can see my own node in the Windows network but I no longer see the "openwrt" node. The wireless computer only sees itself, and the two wired computers only see each other. They no longer see the computers on the other subnet (wired to wireless, and vice-versa). I do see the samba processes running on the router, so I have no idea what I broke. Very frustrating! - Jim On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 9:35 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > I'm so close, see below: > > > On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 2:51 AM, David T=E4ht wrote: > >> 1) install wins support with the samba3 package (via: >> >> =A0opkg update >> =A0opkg install samba3 luci-app-samba >> >> (or install via the web interface) > > Done. > >> 2) configure it to be in the workgroup and announce on the subnets.
