Ivan, Either the FreeBSD box (nice choice, by the way) is not properly entered into your internal DNS records or you are not receiving proper DNS settings when you authenticate with your client. As a test, either edit your DNS server IPs on your client computer or put the freebsd host ip in your lmhosts file. My guess is that you will find your samba share very quickly if/when you do. If so, think about either editing your internal DNS and/or tweaking you VPN server. Good luck, Travis --- Ivan Wong <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I am running samba on a freebsd box (behind NAT, IP > = 192.168.1.207) with > pptpclient connecting to my company m$2k VPN (tunnel > IP = 192.168.0.206). > At first, I can ping the fbsd with its hostname > (freebsd) from my company. > But when I try to "net use freebsd /user:xxx *", the > "net use" will fail > (err = The network path was not found.) and > afterwards I can see that ping > will use 192.168.1.207 (which was originally > 192.168.0.206).
