Hi,

I have network in my office with Samba server on Debian Linux. I would
like to get the folders and files in this server from my home with
Windows XP.
So, I done the VPN connection. I think, it works good. In the VPN
connection Samba Server's ip address is 192.168.2.1 and net mask is
255.255.255.255. The client's ip address is 192.168.2.6. and netmask is
255.255.255.252.
I can ping the server from the client and back too.  The  workgrupname
in the smb.conf and windows XP are same.

The problem is that I can't  see the linux computer in the network place
on the Windows XP. Why?

Sincerely,
Zoli
