Hi, I'm trying to map a remote samba share as a network drive on my windows box. Unfortunately, I can't just browse there because I'm not in the same subnet. What I can do, however, is ssh to the samba box and set up some port forwarding. The following procedure worked just fine with XP but Windows 7 seems to require more tweaking: 1) in cmd: net stop server 2) putty to samba box with port 139 forwarded to 139 on the remote box 3) in cmd: net use z: \\127.0.0.1\share /user:tom /persistent:no I tried this on Win7 with a disabled firewall. No Luck. Any suggestions? Cheers, Tom
