Hi there! First of, i strongly discourage such solutions to access your files.
But, if you really want to, my tip is to read up on how to create mappings using NAT, relevant file should be /etc/nat.conf and my tip is to use rdr and mapp the relevant ports to the internal machine. Iīm guessing some form of NAT is in place already. Oh! You could also start up and use the dhcp service in OpenBSD if you havent got it started yet, it also binding of a specific mac-address to a specific IP-Address, so you donīt have to set a fixed address on your laptop. Samba is also an alternativ to use on your OpenBSD-machine, but i really would see that you instead stored your files on the OpenBSD-server and accessed these via sftp or some other more secure way. You could set up a samba server on OpenBSD and mapp upp some folder on the OpenBSD-machine from your WinXP and put your files there, for easy access via sftp from the outside. mvh. /Omas Jakobsson Eric Friedrich skrev: > > Hey all- > Thanks in advance for answering my question, I've been struggling over > it for weeks.
