Hi, Wonder if any one encounter this weirdness ? When I tried to connect using Win2k clients to Samba 3.x server (on the same subnet) by doing "\\server" on the Windows Explorer, it have no problem. I could see all the shares. But when a Win2k client on another subnet (separated by a router) tried to connect to the same Samba 3.x server, there is a Error 53 kinda of error. Cannot even browse the share folders. Error 53 is when I type "net view \\server" on the dos prompt. the win2k client on the other subnet could "ping server". thanks. Any idea how to solve it? adrian
