Hi, I recently posted a question regarding my samba server not being seen by a Windows ME client, the particular thing about this case was the in-hability to reproduce the problem outside the customer network. as I took my server out the customer office back to my office and home, it worked at the very first try, it turned out to be my customer client behaving wierd, after a couple of hours of hoping to see something in the log file, I decided to walk into a different person office and browse the network, well, this time it showed up the very first try. thanks for your support and help. esv. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
