Mates, Maybe I'm missing something very, very basic! I cannot see the share on my XP boxes. smbclient gives the following: skyline:/home/david # smbclient -U% -L ripper added interface ip=192.168.6.14 bcast=192.168.6.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.6.100 ) Domain=[RB_LAW] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- This is so fundamental, I feel like kicking myself, but I'll refrain. What in the heck is the secret to get XP and 2.2.7a to play nice together?? All I want to do is to be able to see the @Q$# printer that is attached to the XP machine and to be able to see the shared docs on the XP box. What gives?? Any help would be much appreciated! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. Rankin * Bertin, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 (936) 715-9333 (936) 715-9339 fax www.rankin-bertin.com --
