Re: [Samba] Unable tp map to a samba share from home

I have a filtered restriction on port 139 Why ?
*puts on mindreader cap*

I suspect what you're trying to say is that you have a samba 
server running at home (as a guess--on comcast's cable modem 
service) and are trying to access it remotely, but it fails 
because port 139 is filtered.

*If* that is the case, I would further suspect that comcast 
is intentionally filtering smb/cifs traffic on their net so 
as to somewhat impede rampant file trading and also to 
protect folk who run unsecured windows machines on their 
networks. Those boxes get rooted, customers blame comcast. 
Worse, those boxes become DDoS zombies, *everyone* blames 
comcast.

SMB over the Internet is a Bad Idea IMO. Look into a VPN or 
SSH tunnel if you *really* need it.

You  are probably correct,  my intentions are (a) vpn which works
fine, (b) possibly SAMBA over SSL and (c) If am able to get stunnel to
encapsulate 901 calls, why can I do the same for port 139?
