Samba or native Win32 file sharing (SMB/CIFS) are equally useless to Win32
clients that have to go over a sockets proxy. SMB/CIFS is completely
unusable in this case, which makes it less usable than ftp! So ANY client
that works via a sockets proxy would be better than nothing. To reiterate,
you cannot access SMB/CIFS shares via a sockets proxy from Windows. This is
ridiculous and should be fixed by MS in Windows. But at least a separate
ftp-like program would allow Windows clients to see SMB shares through a
sockets proxy server.

Hi
Why use samba/smb/cifs if you don´t use the built-in client of windows95/nt?
