I'm new to samba, but I've been reading a few guides and I think I have it set up somewhat correct. Connecting to it via linux or windows on the local lan is no problem, as long as the personal firewall settings are allowing it.
Problem is I still can't get any computer off the LAN to connect to it. At first I thought maybe it was the server's firewall settings, so I pretty much dropped all protection and made it as open as possible:
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT $IPTABLES -F INPUT $IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT $IPTABLES -F OUTPUT $IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP $IPTABLES -F FORWARD
Obviously a security risk, but I just wanted to find the problem. Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem. I didn't see much about what I can set in smb.conf to address external networks. The only thing I added was "hosts allow = ALL" but again, no luck.
Is there something specific I need to do to make samba work over the internet?
Thanks for any help
Does your Samba listen on "off the LAN" interface? Check your "interfaces" and "bind interfaces only" parameters in smb.conf
