Have suse 11.1 on a machine upstairs (s001). It has eth0 and eth1, on eth1 is a switch. When I connect my laptop via the switch I can log in with my samba pdc on s001. eth0 is with wire connected with a router which also has wireless connections. When I connect wireless with my laptop I can reach s001, I can see the shares, but it cannot find the domain controller PDC. I opened the firewall on s001 and portforwarded the router to s001 (port 135, 136, 137, 139, 445). Why can’t may laptop find the PDC?

Varroa;
Try configuring the PDC as a WINS server and point your client to the WINS
server. Broadcasts can not be routed and, without a WINS server, the
clients find the PDC via broadcast.
