[Samba] SAMBA netbois lookup issues

[James Taylor]

Hi all!

 

I am from the Windows world and am trying to migrate to Linux and have done
a fairly good job so far.  

 

My recent challenge is that I have built a Samba file/print server that
works very well on my internal network but when I VPN into the network
remotely I am unable to access the server via it's server name.  What is
driving me crazy is the fact that the last of my Windows servers is a
file/print server as well and I am able to access it without issues.  Is
this a simple NetBios Port change or is this something else that I am
missing?  

 

If anyone has some pointers as to what I can do to resolve this issue I
would be grateful.

 

Thank you
