Dude -- Your arrogant attitude towards getting help and resolving your problem is not getting you anywhere -- its obviously problematic to pump SMB/CIFS into the internet the way you would like to. Why don't you look at a simpler solution like running an anonymous ftp server and then your pathetic windoze users can just type:
The problem here is that *he* is the user that wants to use smb bare-assed over the internet. I doubt this would be that much of an issue if it were a user, since a respected sysadmin can usually tell someone how they should be using a network resource, unless the user is braindead upper management unfortunately. We're into the "I'd really like to do it this way for no apparent gain" zone on this one.
Lets all just let this one die. No poster has touched the issue he's having, and from the people that have posted it doesn't look like anyone is going to be attempting to help, not because no one knows, but because it's been deemed a WTF issue. If Mr. Blank gets this one to work he'll have one more "I did a cool thing one day" feather in his cap when he goes client scouting.
ftp://server/directory
POOF
Please read my points on this sort of "solution" in the past. The whole
REASON I want to use Plain Vanilla SMB is so I can walk up to ANY Windoze
machine on the entire flippin' Internet and go:
Start Run \\IP_ADDRESS\sharename (username) (password)
POOF.
