There is a chance that the linux machine, which only supports TCP/IP and the Windows machines, which default to running IP, NetBlooie and Novell, have been unable to synch due to the lack of a common protocol. Check if the domain/workgroup master browser has TCP/IP installed, and remove any unused protocols (they cause "intermittent and hard to diagnose errors"). --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
