SMB and VPN problem



Howdie,

I have a SAMBA file server (running on Linux of course ;-) which happily 
serves all the *doze clients in the office. The same directories are 
also exported via NFS.

We are using Checkpoint Firewall-1 and SecureRemote as VPN solution to 
allow people to work from home. The problem is that *doze people trying 
to access the SAMBA shares via the VPN get "no such network path" 
although they are able to access an NT CIFS server without a problem.

Any other protocol (FTP, NFS, etc.) works great, we just can't get the
*doze client ot speak CIFS with the SAMBA via the VPN.

I have an evil feeling this has something to do with the WINS.

Does anyone has experience in making this work or at least has a 
suggestion what might be the difference between the NT CIFS server and 
the SAMBA one which manifests itself when using the VPN?

Many thanks!
