Fedora 11 network share browsing using Natuilus with Samba - Fixed?

[KC8LDO]

Bruno;

I hear you about DNS sensor ship. I guess that's one way the great firewall 
of China does it. I have a buddy at work that had a 2 week gig to do in Abu 
Dhabi some months back. He couldn't use his Skype phone there. They had it 
filtered out including any of the third party proxy servers that were used 
for a while to get around the initial filtering being done. I told him 
setting up a proxy server at home maybe one way to prevent that from 
happening again. He has also had a few problems in China as well, but not 
with Sype so far.

Speaking about bogus resolvers, having the ISP's mess with DNS, is just the 
start of it. Wait until they get around to forcing people to install custom 
TCP/IP stacks that ONLY will work on their network as a means to monitor and 
control traffic. There is nothing the FCC has done that excludes this 
option.

Regards;
