Sharing in another network

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 10 Jul 99, Pedro Brandao <pbrandao.spam at inescn.pt> had questions 
about Sharing in another network:

Which ports are you forwarding?

What happens when you try this:

   net use * \\linBox\userShare

Does it resolve, or timeout?

Can you explain what you mean here?

Thanks, Steve
