Make sure that the IPs your UK colleagues are getting from the VPN belong to the same network as, at least, one of the internal interfaces on eBox. If that's the case there shouldn't be any problem to ping the eBox machine as the eBox's firewall will treat those IPs exactly in the same way as it does with the other machines living in its local network. I would like to point out that SMB broadcasts frames to announce services and shares. This could potentially be an issue if your VPN is not sending broadcast messages. Of course, the first step is being able to ping the eBox machine :) Best regards, Javi _______________________________________________ Ebox-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.warp.es/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user
