Hello, I'm running a Samba client on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Samba works fine when the Mac is at home (e.g. file transfers, name resolution, etc.). However, name resolution does not work when the Mac is at a remote location and logged into my home network via a PPTP VPN. File transfers work fine over the VPN connection when I use IP addresses instead of NetBIOS names.
While trying to debug the problem I ran WireShark to sniff packets on the Mac and found that Samba does not broadcast the NetBIOS Name Query across my ppp0 interface. Since ppp0 is dynamically created on the Mac when it connects to the VPN it doesn't appear that I can set ppp0 as an interface in smb.conf to solve the problem. Is this correct and, if so, what do I need to do to tell Samba to broadcast NetBIOS Name Service traffic over dynamically created interfaces?
