Hello, I have access to our network via a VPN ADSL router and can ping the Samba server but I can map network drives, thro. XP. Samba is new to me and I would like some help in understanding what I have to do, to use windows XP which is dial-in by VPN, to connect at a windows XP client to our file server. The file server is running Samba 2.2.5 and the OS is Linux Redhat 8. Kind regards, Nick Gorman E-mail: <mailto:ngorman@torturecare.org.uk> ngorman@torturecare.org.uk

[Samba] Re: RE VPN Access to Network / server file system
We'll need more info regarding your IP set up, and samba config. I access my Samba via VPN, and it was necessary to ensure that the firewall / router knows the appropriate routes and passes traffic through, as well as make sure Samba is listening on the correct interface.
