Hello all together, I've got here a very strange problem. I've set up a vpn with freeswan between two subnets over the internet. Now I can ping from behind to behind. With Windows 98 I can search a computer which is in the other subnet and find the the computer. But...only the other computer is NOT a samba server. Means a w2k or w98 is ok. If I'm looking for the samba in the other subnet, I get no match. But I can proberly use w2k to get access in the other subnet on the samba server. The only combination that not works is win98 to samba (yes smbclient/linux works too). And I was not searching for the computer by name I was only searching by the ip address. Does anybody have an idea what the problem can be? thanks for any answers Thomas Angst

I have the same problem. Coming in over a transparent vpn, i cant access smba shares. Only windows shares.> If I'm looking for the samba in the other subnet, I get no match.

I dont search but when I use the unc to get to the machine, a message comes up telling me no service is operating at the endpoint. I am connecting a windows 9x/nt/2000 to samba share, not vice versa as you are. No one has been able to help me yet. Please keep me posted if you get a response. Thanks, Jack
Do you have hosts allow enabled in the smb.conf? Do you have any firewalling turned on? hosts allow = 192.168.0.
