Hi! I have printers, files shared to all windoze platforms in my group. Now I want to also access the samba box via a VPN. So configuration: NT----PPTP---NT/RAS-----Linux 7 Any experience with this type of config? Quick test shows the samba host but when I try to access it the network path is not found. Thanks! ++Dirk

I can virtual network just fine from my Win95 box at home, then telnet to my Debian Linux box, or whatever else I want to do. But I don't have much need to do Samba stuff per se from there. What *exactly* are you trying to do? Then maybe I can try it out.
Hi, i have set up a samba 2.2.2 as a PDC in my school LAN I want students to be able to access their share at home. is it possible to do it via a VPN ? is it possible for them to authentify against the PDC via the VPN ? if not, is there a solution to this (except FTP or NFS) ? thanks, ionel ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran?ais !

Well, where there is a will there is a way... assuming funding is available, however... If this is for a school (which I know tend to have limited budgets), you might not want to rule out FTP. If you create a VPN solution, you have to ensure that all the users have VPN connectivity on their home PC and that the VPN functions correctly on the server end. THEN you have to make sure that Samba is configured correctly on top of that. Although VPN may have a high "cool" factor, it may not be practical. FTP software is usually simple to configure and can be downloaded and installed at home. Any Machine with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or high has FTP functionality built into their browser. If you want to standardize things, you might see if there is some sort of educational sight license for a particular piece FTP software such as WS FTP or Cute FTP. This would be much simpler to configure and use.

Hi friends.. In my humble opinion the samba Team should be thinking on integrating a web file manager (https) that reflects all samba configuration (smb.conf). In this way file shares could be seen from a microsoft network and from the Internet.. Microsoft sooner or later (or already has..) will implement this kind of features with their files shares...? Keep on with the good work.. Regards Ronald Rodriguez -----Original Message----- From: Thomas, Daniel J.

Hi all, I have just joined this mailing list and need a little help. I have looked at the FAQ's and searched on the internet for the solution and there seems to be similar problems but I could not find an answer. Is there a HOWTO for samba and VPN? If I can get this working then I will be happy to write one. I have a LAN (192.168.0.0/24) with a Linux Firewall, PPTP server and Samba Wins Server all on the same box. Each computer in this LAN is in the same workgroup and I also have computers which dialin using PPTP which are also in the same workgroup. Each computer in the Lan is using the Wins Server and the PPTP link sets the Wins Server for the dialin computer. The dialin computer can see all the other computers and connect to them but all the computers in the LAN cannot see the dialin computer using Network Neighbourhood. The dialin computer can ping every computer in the LAN and each computer in the LAN can ping the dialin computer so there is no problem with the IPChain ruleset. When I look at the browse.dat file then only the computers in the LAN seem to be listed. Is this a problem with windows that it is not registering to the Wins Server when the PPTP link comes up? When I run tcpdump on the PPTP link then I see NBT packets (I gather they are NetBIOS over TCP) and a positive registration packet is listed. I have included the tcp dump at the end of this mail. Does anyone know what 224.0.0.2 is for? Does anyone know the reason for this? Can the computers be in different Workgroups but same subnet if I am using the Wins Server and still be able to see everyone? Samba version 2.2.5-1 for Debian Client Machine over PPTP Windows 98 SE Included 1) TCPDump of PPTP Connection 2) contents of Browse.dat (Is this what the Wins Server contains?) 3) Samba Configuration File Thanks in Advanced for any comments. They might help me and anyone that is interested.
