Why not just add your external IP address to the "interfaces" line in your smb.conf file... then simply "\\<your-ip-address>" in Windows, or "mount -t smbfs \\\\<your-ip>\share /mount-point" if you're booted into Linux and have SMB client support compiled into the kernel (syntax may not be totally correct here). Your Linux Samba box is the NAT box, so it actually has a public IP, right? --rgiles _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
