Geek on the Hill
A colleague called me today and asked me to take over for him on a particular job. I haven't been there yet, so I have only rudimentary information.
Apparently, from what I can gather talking to the client, his company has a Windows peer-to-peer network connecting to a RedHat box that is being used as an application server. The client wants to move all the user data on the client computers to the server (easy enough so far), but also allow the users to be access the shares as mapped drives via VPN.
They are using a Netgear VPN router (don't know which model yet), and the Linux server is behind the firewall. They seem to have port forwarding set up properly and can ping the Linux box, but the Samba shares remain inaccesible over VPN.
I'm thinking that there must be something screwy in smb.conf, but I was wondering if anyone else has any suggestions for me to take with me.
As always, thanks.
