I'm trying to get smb client on a remote Linux box to connect to a windows 2000 server via pptp.
Smbclient connects and lists out the server info e.g. "Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]",
but when I try to do a directory listing I get this error;
" Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds listing \*".
The Windows box is 10.10.10.2 on the local lan. It's default gateway is a Linux box on 10.10.10.1.
I can successfully smbclient from the Linux gateway to the Windows box. The Linux gateway runs
pptp server on it's outside interface and accepts a pptp connection from the remote box, which it assigns
an address 10.10.10.212. The remote linux box can ping the windows box on 10.10.10.2.
The iptables rules on the remote linux box have been (temporarily) configured to accept all packets.
The remote linux box is Nat'd to the internet but the pptp tunnel terminates on it so I'm assuming that
this isn't an issue (is it?)
What am I missing?
Thanks
Pete
