Hi,

Is it possible to connect to a private folder from "the outside world", using an external IP address?

For instance:
net use K: \\90.xyz.zyx.xyz\home\owner /USER:owner /PERSISTENT:NO

of course
but horribly insecure
so you might consider setting up a vpn
or use putty to login using ssh and create a tunnel
for the samba port or create dynamic tunneling.
cheers
