Connecting over a VPN to Solaris 8

Hi,

	I am semi-literate with regards to Samba so please be patient. My boss
(whom I like to keep happy) wants to access a Solaris 8 box upon which I
have installed Samba from his home. Our company uses a SonicWall Internet
Appliance for VPN access. This is where the problem may arise. My boss has a
W2K machine at home and can connect to his office NT box using PCAnywhere 8
and can go from there to the Sun box but he would really like to map a drive
from his home box to a Samba share on the Sun box at work. I cannot get this
to work. (For that matter I would also like to be able to do this)

What I can tell you:

I can ping the IP of the Sun box at work - 192.168.106.94 (I have the same
VPN setup)
The Sun box share that he wants to connect to is "local"
The Sun Box NetBios name is "SunServer" and I cannot ping it from home (This
sounds bad to me)
He is not behind a firewall at home but likely will be
I am behind a D-Link 704 Internet Gateway

Any help  (even a "That can't be done) is appreciated,

Thanks,


Joel
