Howdy All,

Sorry about the last posting. My machine sent the mail in mid keystroke
for some reason.
This may not be the correct list for this sort of question, so please
excuse me if it is not quite right.

I have three sites ( going to become four shortly ) which are connect via
dlink equipment to create a vpn

main site      192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 with the gateway at .0.6 and the
samba server at .0.5
site1          192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 with gateway 1.6
site3          192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 with gateway 2.6

Now the question is can I get windows 9x and xp boxes on the 1.x and 2.x
network to login to the samba box at 0.5. If so how ??
The three sites "see" each other quite nicely ( can ping any machine on
the 0.0 network from either of the other networks ) with 30-40ms access
time.
Will samba work in this scenario ??

Any and all help appreciated

Greg Andrews
