Hi Adam, > How do you configure the PPP link?

On my Mac OS X 10.3.9 system, ps -axww shows: 398 ??

I'll stick a proxyarp in "/etc/ppp/peers/VPN (PPTP) Configuration" and see what results I get. > If your host networks PPP creates the appropriate routes you can set > remote announce of that Samba server to push the announcements to the > client network.

I'm not running a Samba server on my home network, just the Windows XP Home Edition stuff (b-mode only and no WINS server AFAIK). I'd love to try out Samba on Windows to test remote announce, but I can't find a port available. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
