There is absolutely no need to filling up someone's logs. Cipe is an encrypted tunnel and the cipe protocol has Bridging support. In other words it is perfectly possible To have two private lan's bridged together across the Internet over a cipe interface.
For more info on cipe check freshmeat.net and search for cipe. Kim > > > >Gads!!!! I hope not.. :-) > >You might take a gander at WINS or some other resolution method > >outside of NetBeui/NetBIOS.

It might be harder to setup a WINS server, but at last look the line added to smb.conf only required "wins server=yes" to set it up as a wins server. You also need to add a line for sync'ing the remote servers (by ip address). If this is not something your going to want to try, your probably not going to have any success without a lot more work across subnets. My suggestion was from the stand-point that I don't want Win2K/XP to be broadcasting all my LAN information out to the internet..... there is enough trash in my logs without adding more to someone else's logs. -- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
