    accessing windows share on different subnet


    Hello

    My Windows 7 machine runs in the subnet 192.168.1.x (actual IP 192.168.1.33) and there is a Linux machine with windows share (smb or Samba) on a different subnet 192.168.2.x (actual IP 192.168.2.5). There is a router inbetween of course.

    Before they were on the same subnet and I could easily see the Linux machine when using Windows Explorer and clicking on Network. Now, I can't see it anymore.

    Any help and explanation on how this stuff works would be great !

    Thank Windows community !

    PS: The router works perfectly as I can acccess the printer (192.168.1.80) from my Linux machine (192.168.2.5).

    What kind of router are you using?

    You'll probably need to set up a static route on the router from the 192.168.1.x subnet to the 192.168.2.x subnet. From the Windows PC, can you ping anything on the 192.168.2.x network?
