Hmmm. I get a "System error 51 has occurred." The remote computer is not
available.

It looks like samba is not available through the tunnel. The ping works
from the win2k to the samba. But I can't ping from the samba to the
win2k machine. The route seems to be only one way. There is a route
listed in netstat for the win2k, but nothing gets to it.
