Is there any API available or documentation?

Eugene.

One other thing...I think the Windows ME uses encrypted passwords while 95
does not.  You will need to disable encrypted passwords on ME before a 95
machine can connect.  See the Microsoft site on how to do this (Or, visit
www.samba.org and read through their faqs and documentation.  I think the
change is a registry entry or two).

Eugene,

I assume you want to be able to access a share over the internet.  To make
that happen, you need to have several things in place:

1) Do you know the IP of the machine you wish to access.  It is it a
publicly accessible IP?

2) Do you know if a firewall is in place. If so, it must allow traffic on
ports 137,139 and 443.(UDP, I think)  I think you may need 135 as well.

3) Do you know the workgroup?  That's helpful but not absolutely necessary.

There's a free program out there called Languard that will scan a network
for you and determine if what you want to do is possible.   However, be
forewarned that if it isn't your machine you're scanning, you may find
yourself in a heapa trouble pretty quick if you attempts go beyond simple
scanning.

Languard will tell you more about your network than most people care to
know.  You can get if from the following link:

You need to understand the netbui protocol to make heads or tales of the
connection if you try to do it yourself.   You can look at the source code
for SAMBA if you are familiar with Linux.  BTW, if somebody is exposing
those ports via the internet, they are probably the ongoing subject of some
rather malicious attacks.  If the machine has not been compromised already,
it probably will be soon.  In general, you shouldn't expose those ports on
the internet.  If you need remote access, use a VPN or some other tunneling
system.

Thank you Charles for the information.

Eugene.
