I'm having a small problem with my vpn setup.. PoPToP and Samba running on a freebsd machine is the server side, client side is a win98 machine. The connection is made over the internet and as far as I can tell I have the proper setup for the client side. When I connect to the server with the client, it logs in fine and all of the computers on the servers lan show up, but if you click on a computer in the network neighborhood from the client it doesn't work. It takes a bit, but a popup box eventually appears saying that the computer or sharename could not be accessed or wasn't there. This happens with each computer, with the acception of clicking on the VPN ( Samba/PoPToP ) server itself. When I click on that machine, all works as it should. It does, however work if I mount a share by using the ip of the machine directly via net use ( net use t: \\lan-comp\c ). That operation will complete on the client computer and the drive that I want to get to is then mounted on th client pc. Does know where the problem is?.. I'm guessing it lies within samba, since as a part of the vpn setup, samba must be setup as a WINS server. The problem seems to be that the client is unable to get the ip address of a particular computer. I'm not sure what the problem is though.. I have wins support = yes set in the smb.conf and I have set the ip of the samba server set in the wins server list for the vpn adapter on the client computer. If someone has a working setup, I would appriciate it if you could send me your smb.conf settings if possible so I can double check mine.. ( not the shares of course ) Basically if anyone knows wherein the problem lies, please let me know.. I could but completely wrong about my guess. -Aric Kinney To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
