Hi! I apologize, if the questions are simple, but its been a long time since I use Windows as enhanced typewriter only. The need to implement domain etc arose just suddenly. I am trying to implement VPN (and succeeded to implement it), even able to join windows clients to the Samba AD domain over VPN, but I am confused by not getting the browse list of computers for the network I connect to. I can access particular machine or file server if I enter its name and I can browse through shares, if I have respective perms, but there is no "folder" displaying machines on-line. The locally placed computer displays the browse list. Connection to the site - symmetric 10 mbit/s. What's more confusing - I had it working, but it disappeared once and is not coming back. The second question - I remember from the XP era that network browsing was something hierarchical - starting from the domain to groups to workstations (domain members). Dolphin's Samba share browser behaves the same, but windows (7) seem to be indifferent to it and are displaying members of two co-existing domains as a disorganized "crowd". Should it be so or some fine-tuning is necessary somewhere? Janis

Using links or static shares maybe better option then trust and wait on browsing Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstra?e 15, 81669 M?nchen Sitz der Gesellschaft: M?nchen, Amtsgericht M?nchen: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
