I looked in the archives and docs over and over again. I am sure I am missing something simple. I have several SunOS 5.8 systems in a workgroup - one Sun is a wins server and the others point to it. On my windows xp system, I can see the Sun workgroup and many others. I can drill down into the other workgroups, but not the Sun one - can't open it at all - not even to see the servers. What am I missing? Yes, I am going to upgrade samba, but this seems like a much more basic issue than a samba version issue. :) Brian
