Yeech, you seems to want to broadcast all that NetBIOS stuff into the WAN connection that we're all spending years trying to block :(
First, I will warn you .... opening those ports on your firewall with any OS (particuarly the Win9x/ME group) is pretty much like using a piece of cardboard to stop a tank. Opening up ssh/sftp or IPSec would be _highly_ recommended to doing NetBIOS. In fact, I am not sure that this would work at all w/o VPN because of the name resolution and MAC addressing. I wouldn't suggest WINS here at all, but you may come up with something possibly with a hosts or lmhosts file(s) on both computers. WINS addressing and DNS are similar, yet worlds apart in reality which makes me think that this would be very difficult to accomplish regardless of what you do to the firewall. In my experience, I would either do ftp w/address filtering (and permissions), VPN, or ssh/sftp with the emphasis on the latter two. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
