In order to get that to work, you'd have to have a login on one of CAEDM's samba servers, and be able to ssh out from there. On top of that, I believe that BYU's routers block traffic on ports 137-139 and 445; at least they did in the past. Theoretically, if he were able to SSH into one of the externally accessible CAEDM machines, then he could set up SSH port forwarding to eventually get to the machine. However, he wouldn't be able to set up a port-forwarding connection using ports 137-139 (because they're privileged ports), and most CIFS file-sharing systems don't like running on alternate ports. smbclient can, I think, but Windows becomes very unhappy. Oh yeah, then there's the issue of SSH not being able to tunnel UDP traffic. There goes your netbios name resolution, which also makes Windows very unhappy. Trust me, if you want CAEDM files from off-campus, sftp/scp or citrix are about the only ways to get them. -- Soren Harward [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
