This is actually not complex, but it's not very bright either. Many ISPs
will block Samba over a wide area because of the security implications.
NFS usually isn't blocked, but it sure should be. In the security circles
NFS stands for No F*cking Security. NFS can be trivially broken - the
server is designed to trust the client - basically it believes whatever it's
told and this opens you open to easy penetration.
