Thanks Kishore one more thing, a. when I ping the network 192.168.0.255 -b it does not show the windows machine , i have to physically go over and get the ip which it self is okay but seems dangerous since I don't know which machines are logged in ? ?? unlike for all the other linux machines. Also the network is really simple - just an internet server based on DHCP being enabled regards ram _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
