Hey guys,

Firstly I'd like to say thanks for makeing a zero config vpn solution that works on mac, linix and windows.

Now onto the problem I've been having.

We use neo-router at work to allow our staff to work from home etc. Recently on of the guys updated from ubuntu 9.04 -> 9.10 and can no longer reach our samba shares via the vpn.

We can ping both ways and the user has file sharing enabled on his account in neo-router. Viewing web content across the vpn also works. Connecting to windows/samba shares worked in 9.04. Any idea on how to work around this? I'm gonna have a look at the ubuntu site in a sec and see if anyone else is having this problem.


*edit* forgot to mention that the 9.10 box can view the shares directly if it is plugged into the same subnet.


Cheers
Owen

Hi owenp,

Since the two computers can ping each other over NeoRouter, the samba should work too.

Can you try to telnet tcp/445 port from the ubuntu to the samba server and check the ACL and firewall?

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

Telnet to port 445 just times out. If I do it direct, it connects within a second.

No firewall running on either machine and the ACL seems to be correct.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Owen

Can you disable the firewall in NeoRouter for the "Default User" for the ubuntu (samba server) and telnet to 445 again?

Thanks,

Sorry for not following this up earlier.

We ended up downgrading to ubuntu 9.04 due to other problems we were having so unfortunately I can not test this currently.
