If I can access another computer on the wired network by name, that
means that the WINS server is working, right? The problem is that I
can't access another computer by name (only by IP address) when it is
on a different subnet. I've tried manually configuring the WINS
server in Windows 7 and it doesn't make a difference.
These are the contents of my /etc/config/samba file - should be same
as the default:
root at OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/samba
config samba
option 'name' 'openwrt'
option 'workgroup' 'openwrt'
option 'description' 'openwrt'
option 'homes' '1'
config sambashare
option 'name' 'tmp'
option 'path' '/tmp'
option 'read_only' 'no'
option 'guest_ok' 'no'
option 'create_mask' '0700'
option 'dir_mask' '0700'
#option 'users' 'abc'
