Hi My pptp VPN connection between W2K and a SuSE Linux8.0 server (with SuSEfirewall2) seems to work (username and password are verified, PC is registered and authentificated).
/var/log/messages tells me for the vpn-connection: .... - SuSE-FW-UNALLOWED-TARGETIN.........prot. 47...... (after launching vpn-connection) .... - SuSE-FW-DROP-ANTI-SPOOFIN.................DPT 139.... (after hitting network item) .... - SuSE-FW-DROP-ANTI-SPOOFIN.................DPT 139.... (after Start/run "\\192.168.x.y") - SuSE-FW-DROP-ANTI-SPOOFIN.................DPT 445....
These services (protocols and ports) are accessible according to my SuSEfirewall2 definitions. I opened theme in section 9.)
I guess, this is the reason, that I don't see my samba shares on linux.
Can someone give me a hand on this problem?
