I have now switched back to netmask of 255.255.255.0 - I had a strange
time where the wireless could access the net, but not 192.168.1.1 (the
ADSL router). I may try this incantation again later tomorrow, if it
seems to be the simplest solution.
This is a netstat -nr from Samba 192.168.1.7 -
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.11.0 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I can now ping 192.168.11.0 from samba, although I am not absolutely
certain what machine this is - is it more likely to be the wireless
router, which maps to 192.168.1.3? However, I still fail to ping from
samba to 192.168.11.4 (which is the laptop I am typing on now).
The gateway on the wireless is set to 192.168.11.1, which was the
default setting (i.e. I hadn't changed it). Should this be changed to
the ADSL router's 192.168.1.1?
