samba - Apr 2002 - smbmount to host over internet?

I have tried to mount a share from a windowsclient of my brother over the
internet and dont know if it is possible or not
i tried this:
smbmount //222.132.33/hol /kol
and
mount  -t smbfs -o ip=222.132.33 //222.132.33/hol /kol
hol is the share file of the windows client it was a guest accont so i dont
need a username or passwort.
I trie both and became:
connection failt or
route to host not found
So my question is: Is this possible to mount a share file or drive over the
internet with smbmount or are i wasting my time? When it is possible can
some write my the correct command with options?
Thank for help.

             ^^^^^^^^^^
Try using the whole IP number ... (all 4 octets).

If the other side is a win9x then you need to use the name of the machine
to connect. This is why the 'ip' option exists.

So instead of:
> mount  -t smbfs -o ip=222.132.33 //222.132.33/hol /kol
It might work with:
mount -t smbfs -o ip=1.2.3.4 //netbiosname/hol /kol

Where "netbiosname" is the name the other machine thinks it has.
It doesn't matter that your machine doesn't know what
"netbiosname"
resolves to.

Firewalls and such may still prevent you from connecting, but it is
otherwise possible to do.
