[Samba] RE VPN Access to Network / server file system

[Nick Gorman]

Hello,

 

I have access to our network via a VPN ADSL router and can ping the Samba
server but I can map network drives, thro. XP.

Samba is new to me and I would like some help in understanding what I have
to do, to use windows XP which is dial-in by VPN, to connect at a  windows
XP client to our file server.  The file server is running Samba 2.2.5 and
the OS is Linux Redhat 8.

 

Kind regards,

 

Nick Gorman
