OK, unusual one here. I have two networks, network 'A' is on a 192.168.2.0 address range. It is connected to network 'B' on a 192.168.3.0 address range through a PIX firewall, this network (B) already has a Samba file server up and running. Can anyone briefly descibe the process they would adopt to allow the VU+ Duo (on network 'A') to 'see' the shares on the Samba server..
Thanks You

You would have to setup a network bridge between network A and network B either through a router or hardwired through a network switch, getting it right could be hardwork, can you not put the duo on network B

Yes I could but its not my first choice. As the pix security is tightened right up to try & shield the internal network I really would prefer not to open up unnessasary holes if you know what i mean....

Are the networks already connected to each other, if so assign the vu a static IP address and using an unused port, forward it to network B, you would also have to create an exception in PIX to allow it straight through

Will have to have a little think about this one.... Im thinking that as I would have to create those exceptions I would by doing that also opened a potential vunrability, so my thoughts now are possibly move it inside the pix and use an access list to the static IP that the VU+ will have..........Ummmmm food for thought here, thanks for your thoughts..
