samba over the internet?!?

[tcarradine]

is it possible to setup a a share (samba or otherwise) that will run over the internet? i know it wouldn't be very secure, but i'm wondering if it would be possible.

if not with samba, does anyone know of an app out there that would allow me to map a network drive (on win2k) from a remote rh8 server? any input would be great!

if you do SAMBA over the Internet, you will get hacked.

Set up a VPN. Most ISPS will block the ports that net BIOS uses on your gateway router, do to obvious security reasons.
