Hello, I recently switched to using routed tun devices everywhere, and had this same problem of browsing across subnets from Windows machines. Just got this working, mostly. My WINS server is a Samba server on the Office side. Turns out in addition to making it a WINS server, I had to make it a domain master for the workgroup for it to work correctly. In smb.conf on the server: wins support = true domain master = yes Then on the clients, browsing worked briefly. After a timeout, the main browse list disappeared, replaced by only the client. To get it to stick, I had to turn on NetBIOS over TCP/IP via WINS: --dhcp-option NBT 2 Now clients see all other computers in the Workgroup, but not themselves.
