Windows Sharing & Network Printing

Tue Apr 25, 2006 6:46 pm

I have a RB that is running 2.9.11.
I have ether2 & wlan1 bridged and using the same DHCP server. So all the clients are on the same subnet. I'm using this in my office and I want the wireless users to be able to see all the Windows shared folders, network printers, etc. But I can't seem to get any of the wireless devices to see any of the shared devices on the ether2 side.
Is there some trick to making this work? I have read about people turning off forwarding so others can't see devices in My Network Places. But I want to see them and cant... :)
If you have any advice I would appreciate it!

Nate

How about your wireless customers? They are using access points to connect to your MT server? Most of AP by default blocking netbios and then you cant see shared microsoft resources, use remote desktop protocol etc.
