hi, i hope this topic is not a rtfm problem, but anyway here my question: whenever i connect to a samba server NOT in my workgroup/domain, connect first succeeds (i can access the specified share and files). but then a error message pops up stating that the specified computer or share cannot be located. oddly, win9x tries to locate not the server i was connecting to but the domain. eg. remote server REMSERV serves domain REMOTE_DOMAIN. I try to access \\REMSERV\share (by simply entering this in my explorers address bar). now my network neighbourhood is extended to contain now also the remote domain REMOTE_DOMAIN. in my explorer window i can now access the files in \\REMSERV\share. so far, so good. now win9x complains about REMOTE_DOMAIN. .. oh, the remote server is connected via a dialup line, so keeping phone costs low :) any ideas ? ---- S.
