Hi, Techno, OK - you gave me the kick I needed to get my network running again - I had it fine under 8.2, so it wasn't a big job. I had a lot of problems similar to yours when I first set up, and got a lot of help. The main lesson appears to be 'kiss'. I would try a simpler setup first, then when that is working you can assess whether you need anything more. I've confirmed that the win98 boxes can see my shared directories and also reach their own home directory. I can't confirm the w2k box until nigel is back from holiday.
