> now when this computer connects to VPN samba seems to forget own name.
It sounds like this computer's NMB entry is overwriting Samba's. My guess is the only way to stop this is to 'ban' this user from accessing WINS and broadcasting NMB queries, so that they never reach nmbd and can't overwrite the real server's entry. This will mean however that the user will be unable to to access the real Samba server over the VPN. Alternatively you may find it better to map a network drive to the macros - so instead of accessing files as \\server\share\macro you map drive M: to \\server\share and then use M:\macro in the documents. That way your user can have M: pointing to a share on their local machine (or even use 'subst' to make a local folder appear as drive M:) and then at work have drive M: mapped to the server version. That way you could have two different computer names and just change the drive mapping to point to whichever version of the files you want.
