I was told that wasn't the issue, but I am thinking it might be. I
am assuming that it is with AT&T. The server that I am "really" wanting
Samba on for remote access is in my house running on a business class DSL.
Supposedly AT&T doesn't block any ports and leaves it up to me to adjust my
firewall. I have actually turned off my firewall and still can't get to it.
I have tried telnet to each of the ports from remote locations with no luck.
I have even tried from several data centers where I have servers. I tried
setting up Samba on a couple of those servers in remote data centers and
trying to go from data center to data center or from here I still can't do
it.
Thanks
Steve
