samba - May 2005 - Remote conection!

Hello!

I am using samba and it is working fine in many networks.

One of my clients asked me to access the shared directories outside the company.
I tried to use windows net use \\ip.xxx.xx.xx\share and I allways receive a
error 53 message.

I am trying many changes in smb.conf but nothing is working. 

Can anyone help me with this subject?

Thank you

Deleo

This is the error message one would expect if a firewall blocks SMB and CIFS
protocols.
Using those protocols for external acess is usually not recommended.
