update on CIP win tunnel

[Nick <daye149,AT,pacbell,DOT,net>]

Does it matter if:
me              63.xxx.xxx.2:9999
peer            64.xxx.xxx.1:9999

or should I make them a different port??

I set up a winNT Win Server on one side
and samba's version of wins server on the other.

I am now able to ping using netbios names.  The NT wins seems to even give a 
verbal response stating it was successful after each resolution. 

I was then able to get the following:

when trying: smbclient -L adr_nt (remote NT 4.0 server)

Host A:
prot expire   source               destination          ports
TCP  00:08.26 adr_nt               192.168.253.2        netbios-ssn (62724) 
-> 63812

Host B:
TCP  01:59.95 192.168.0.100        ADR_NT               1087 (63820) -> 
netbios-ssn

I think I may need to add adr_nt to multiple networks ie not only 192.168.1.0 
but 192.168.0.0 as well-------------------
It looks as though the packet request comes from 192.168.0.100 goes through 
the tunnel, hits adr_nt and then bounces on 192.168.253.2.........which 
should then send it back through the tunnel.  But what happens to the packet?

I get the Connection to <host> failed message----------------------

Can linux be a win bridge? or what are the common solutions for this setup?
In ase you haven't caught on, I want to setup a VPN so that all computers 
appear in the network neigborhood and can share drives, which is really what 
I am after.

I want to be able to do: net view /domain or net view \\computer, which is 
the equivalent to smbclient -L host

And them mount a drive as though i am connected to the LAN

Has anyone done something like this before?  Doesn't seem possible as I sit 
here and ponder on the idea.  Tried most of the basic steps.................I 
may need some CISCO help!

Here is my setup:
