Hello Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7). Cheers. -- Luc Lalonde, analyste --------------------------------------------------------------------- D?partement de g?nie informatique: ?cole polytechnique de Montr?al (514) 340-4711 x5049 Luc.Lalonde@polymtl.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- War is good for business, invest your son! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirs, I have afew machines trying to connect to a samba share running on a linux computer. In the local network works fine but I have a few remote users that need access to that share over the internet. What can I modify on the samba or on the windows machines to succesfully connect to the share, without getting timeout errors? Thanks, Erick --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Everyone: By way of confirmation of dfs problems with 2.2.8, we are unable to make msdfs root shares work for WinXP clients when we map them using the netbios alias. With use of LMHOSTS file the shares work when we map them using the netbios name. Everything works fine with WinNT and Win2K.

Eric, I would recommend setting up a VPN tunnel for such access. That would provide you with much better security. Another thing you could look at is configuring a FTP server. It might be a little easier to configure then VPN, but it might also open you up to a few other security issues.
