My guess is you're not on the same network, and will need a vpn. The only time TCP timeouts are going to actually *prevent* samba connections is when you're on a lossy medium (poor reception wifi), or on a high latency network (cellular or satellite connection). As Jeremiah said, we need details. What's the distance? can you connect to any other (non-samba) services? Are your routing tables setup right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
