Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba Over A Wan
I'm currently using OpenVPN to allow access to Samba over WAN. Works pretty
good but my experience has been that browsing shares and directory
structures over the WAN can be somewhat frustrating to users. I believe this
is b/c windows file sharing is a pretty heavy protocal and our WAN
connection is only 768bps up and down. You'll also want to be using WINS for
name resolution unless you're bridging your OpenVPN subnet with your local
subnet which I would avoid doing if possible.

Hi David! Thank you for your feedback. Our connection is a T1. The people
would be accessing a folder that has 3 folders in it with < 200 files in each
folder.
The connection would be their box to our box only. Would I still need WINS
in this scenario? I'm not up on Windows requirements.
Thanks,
Mike
