Is it possible to allow login into one of my machines over the internet. I currently have Samba running as PDC and from my house, I can access the computer just fine when I'm using WinXP. There are no problems with that, when I'm at home, the specific directory I want is mapped to a drive letter. However I would like to be able to do the same from work. Is this possible? In other words, I would like be able to access a specific directory remotely and map it. I've searched the google for "Samba over the Internet" and have found that it is possible, but not how to do it. When mapping I try \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\homeDir <file:///\\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\homeDir> \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\sharedDir <file:///\\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\sharedDir> and both of them prompt me for username and password. It asks for username: \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\username <file:///\\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\username> password: any ideas experience with this?
Hi first your try is bad not use explorer but command prompt dos window on XP! Second you understand that over inet connect is not strict secured for posible attack. At end you must have open routing for port 139. type on command window net use x: \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\homeDir next two choices if on samba created is username as on XP with identic smbpassword then you map automatic without type any passwords. When is not identical you must enter password of samba user but username must be identic on samba and xp. Last choice is explicit login as another username and password exist on samba but not as xp. In username and password not type any> username: \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\username <file:///\\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx\username>only name and pass as is created on samba. If on samba have guest ok then not need any name or pass if username of xp logged user not exist on smbpasswd is mapped as guest.

Hi, you better should study basics of networking and firewalling. only an idiot would open smb 135up tp 139 to the web. Cause means your machine would be open to anybody *lol. After all you have to descripe what network setup do you have....firewall rules etc at home and in work. Normally you would do this stuff via tunneling (pptp , cipe , freeswan ) but you can also setup an apache with kind of smb perl scriptsto browse the samba. The easiest way is to connect to your samba via ssh portforwarded to your firewall and use winscp ( if you want use win ). But sorry study more facts and post your needs with facts.
