But, I have a problem in that the internal interface has a different IP than the external interface. So I can't tell Samba to listen only on the external interface, because Samba does not know that interface exists. How can I tell Samba to listen on 10.0.0.2, but tell its clients that its IP is 1.0.0.3? thanks, -wes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
