I am able to connect remotely from a win98 system across a DSL link.
I am able to ping internal IP addresses (i.e. 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2)
An ifconfig on the host sytstem produces the following:


ppp1      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.1.140  P-t-P:192.168.1.141  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0
          RX bytes:1266 (1.2 Kb)  TX bytes:102 (102.0 b)

Final issue: I am unable to locate the samba server either by IP address or
netbios name.
I can ping it, I just can't access it. I have enabled wins, but the MS VPN
adaptor has no option to enable wins.
The samba server is broadcasting to 192.168.1.255. I just can't get it to
appear for drive mapping or any other use. Any ideas?

Thanks.
