I would install IPSec so that traffic is encrypted. Do all the sites have fixed IPs? Then just allow their port 137/138/139 traffic in and out. But, again, install and make sure IPSec is running on all the routers involved or else you're just asking for trouble. I wouldn't want to do this with non-fixed IPs either as I would be scared to death of just anybody reaching any windows box on the inside of my network. Chris
