so one idea could be to start three ssh tunnels from client side. which command line u may wonna do something like this: $ ssh -L 137:localhost:137 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 138:localhost:138 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -L 139:localhost:139 -N -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] (putty should be able to do something similar. but i guess u will need some scripting so that these ssh commands will be executed on startup of the client systems or at least before the shares will be mounted of course.) now u should be able to connect ur clients to any share on server side with "\\localhost\share-name" i am not familiar with VPN. possibly its a better solution (?) seb > Thanks for your Help > > Richard Puga > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > On Sat, 2003-09-20 at 08:25, FreeBSD MAIL wrote: > > > I want to use PuTTY and ssh to port forward and map a samba share across the > > > internet.
