Samba via PPP0 device
 

I have 2 network devices eth1 and ppp0. eth1 is my internal NIC for my LAN, and ppp0 is SBC PPPoE DSL My router and firewall works wonderfully, and I can access the net and the LAN. However, I cannot mount a remove SAMBA share over ppp0, it seems to be trying to mount over eth1 which is the internal NIC. If I run the following command this is the output I receive.

smbmount //offcampus.ics.purdue.edu/tnine /mentor -o username=tnine,password=*******
timeout connecting to 128.210.10.81:139
Error connecting to 128.210.10.81 (Operation already in progress)
8791: Connection to offcampus.ics.purdue.edu failed
SMB connection failed


Does anyone know why this is not working? It is not a firewall issue since I can mount the drive from one of my Windows clients. I'm using shorewall, and I have the same ports open from fw to net as I do loc to net.

Thanks,
Todd
