Hello On 29/04/2004 I asked for the sshd keep alive option of ssh. In that days I used the KeepAlive and ClientAliveInterval without success. Some people told me about other alternatives like ipsec, openvpn., well I have began to use openvpn and it works very fine, I can connect to the vncserver, cvs etc etc now I also want to share my samba volumes through the vpn, but I can reach the samba server. From my windows I try to connect to the server but It´s like there isn´t any samba on the ip Perhaps there is something wrong on my vpnconfig or in my smb.conf file ¿any idea? I run this comand to make the vpn in my windows: "c:\archivos de programa\openvpn\bin\openvpn.exe" --remote SERVER --dev tap --ifconfig 10.4.0.1 255.255.255.0 --verb 3 --secret "c:\archivos de programa\openvpn\config\key.txt" in the linux /usr/local/sbin/openvpn --remote MYPC --dev tap --ifconfig 10.4.0.2 255.255.255.0 --verb 3 --secret key.txt -- Emiliano Sutil García
