[Samba] Samba over a routed network?

[Tech At Mathco Dot Com]

or put a line in the lmhosts file on the windows machine (if i remember
correctly)
located under c:\windows on win9xme systems and under
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
be sure you rename lmhosts.sam to lmhosts for it to take effect and reboot
ofcourse.

ipa.ddr.ess.xxx    servername    #Pre
