Hi Windows 'networking' was never designed to traverse subnets. See their knowledgebase at technet.microsoft.com.
There is however some things you can do to make it work. Look in the MS kbase for stuff like 'file sharing across subnets'. You can 'fudge' the hosts (lmhosts) file to 'see' the machines across subnets. The reason that MS 'networking' does not work across subnets is because it is broadcast based. Routers do not forward broadcasts. Good Luck. Ray 3/11/02 5:32:57 PM, "Dave Packham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I have set up a linux iptables FW using nat and masq.
