WAG: somebody's brought in their laptop from home, and plugged it into the corporate LAN, and it's not even joined to the domain, but it has "simple file sharing" enabled and it's created a workgroup for itself; "home" is the workgroup name. nbtstat may be your friend here if you want to take a look around for it. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
