Sorry for the confusion.
This is not when I'm running VMWare (player) or Virtual Box (closed-source version) - it is when I'm directly connected to the corporate LAN.
Become a supplicant to your IT security people and get them to open a port to the SMB server on your home network (its IP address). I does have a static, routable address, doesn't it?
Doesn't need a static. Doesn't need to beg. For years I defined a cups printer in my linux gateway to a printer inside, (in my case to a laser printer on one of those print-server boxes that cost $10). The linux box had a dyndns.org address, and I defined the printer to windows as ipp://servername.dyndns.org/laserjet (or alternatly http://servername.dyndns.org:631/printers/laserjet. Either method is understood by windows boxes and linux boxes(via cusp) alike. In the Linux server, it just re-routed this to whatever cups backend the server needed. smb, port 9000, or 4010 for my netgear printserver. (Can't say as I recommend smb as a backend when doing this because it is windows after all). A little fiddling wiht cups config files and firewall were needed to allow remote usage. In 8 years of doing that, I never had a single unexplained print job show up on the printer. -- ----------JSA--------- Someone stole my tag line, so now I have this rental. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
