Another not totally unrelated problem. I have a win95 client on a local net with a linux box serving it through samba. This win95 client should dial a NT box up every once in a while to access a database through odbc, and even though it connects and authenticates, setting the correct routes, it doesn't actually see the NT server's workgroup. Is this a WINS problem? Shouldn't the client see the NT server if the default route points to the NT subnet? Even if I access the server name directly it fails to connect. I have nothing in the 'log on to NT domain' page in the win95 network cpl, and I'm assuming once I find the server it will request the client to authenticate. Or is browsing the actual workgroup only permitted after logging in to the domain? Christian
