I'm running samba 2.2.8 on redhat 8 right now.. I have 3 computers connected to a switch, and a dsl modem, 2 of the computers are winxp machines and this is the redhat box. im running a samba server here, but neither of the winxp machines can even ping the netbios name of the samba server, and when i connect directly to the samba server via \\ip-address it works -- but all the traffic is routed through my dsl provider, not directly through the switch. i added a static route on my linux machine, but nothing changed except instead of 15K/s i get 500K/s (still well under what i'd expect from a 100mb/s network). also, my netbios name is still not working... any ideas? Thanks for your time, Zack
