Solved: broadcasts not working? (samba related)



Sometimes I'm just so dumb. The problem was that the netmask for my
interface was 255.255.0.0, and the netmask that DHCP sends out to everyone
is 255.255.255.0.  Since they didn't match, broadcasting wouldn't work. I
changed the interface to 255.255.255.0 (I set it to 255.255.0.0 so the box
could act as aliased gateway), and now happiness abounds.
