Just got finished testing this, and setting up TCP port 139 so that it is
passed in/out of the Firewall, allows VisionFS to work over a WAN/Internet.
Won't show us in Network Neighborhood, but doing a Start / Run
//machinename (and having the machine name listed in the
\Windows\lmhosts file)
and voila VisionFS shows up. Make sure the user/machine name is defined
in the VisionFS users, and also that WIN98 is setup for PlainTextPasswords
or else you will get the infamous "password incorrect" even though it is a
correct password.
Go to www.caldera.com/ta and look up Windows 98 and you will see the article
Pretty slick actually.
I setup our firewalls on both sides to filter and only allow certain IP's
on port 139, thus giving an extra level of security.
