   You accidentally sent this to the development list: you
probably want to discuss it at samba@lists.samba.org.

   You need the appropriate ports open, which you probably
have done if Red Hat can mount the drives, and you now need
to get the Windows versions of mount and "browsing" working.
Go to the Troubleshooting chapter of the copy of Using
Samba that came with your distribution (or to
http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch12.html)
and go to the Fault Tree. This will step you through all
the prerequisites in the appropriate order, in about
five minutes, until you find your problem.

Thanks for all your help but I have been fighting a lossing battle.  That
is our present firewall config. will not support multiable users and now I
am going down the Cisco, remote dial-in route.
Sorry if I wasted your time too?

Kind regards,

Nick
