Accessing Samba on an outside network
How can this be done?
I can access samba from within my private network and from the same subnet.
But how can I access samba from an outside network that is not at all attached to my internal one.
Any answers?

Yes, it's called setting up a VPN and accessing that Samba server as if you were directly connected to your internal subnet. It's that easy!

RDP, VNC, TS, Citrix, any number of ways can be used to access file shares. What's your skill set?

Okay well then here is my new question...
Linux box (with samba) sit's on a public network... (no internal)
I have my windows xp laptop which is at a different ip address all the time.
What vpn software can I use to allow me to connect from my laptop to my linux box via vpn so I can access samba?
PS no firewalls on the linux box
no firewalls on the xp box
