Hello

I recently bought 1 user license of SSH Tunnel&Terminal for Windows95.
Prior to that I was using a trial version for about a month. I want to
set a VPN between my home computer and office lan. The office lan
gateway is Linux (Debian) running samba while at home I use Windows 95.

When I was using the trial version, I was able to tunnel to my company's
lan via my internet connection. After I bought the version, it does not
work at all. I am tunneling port# 137, 138 and 139 (netbios ports). The
gateway machine at our company is Linux box running Samba while I am
using Windows95 at home.

There is also one another strange behaviour. I have two internet
services at home. One is dial-up (28.8K) while another is cable modem
(Ethernet -Static IP Address).
I can map the network drive of Linux on my PC using dial-up connection
but cannot map the same drive if I use Ethernet (cable modem)

I am not sure whether the tunnel is not working or whether samba cannot
resolve the netbios name, etc. etc.

There are some shared directories on Linux machine that I need to access
at home.

Can someone help.Any help will be highly appreciated

Regards,

Vipul

It's possible that your cable modem provider is using a proxy server or
is otherwise blocking some ports. See if you can telnet in to your
server on the ports you're tunneling.
