Hi David. Have a look at your linux settings using webmin first to see if drakconfig decided to switch your linux box's IP addy/change your LAN IP range. This will throw samba off a bit sometimes. [it did when I was installing the nvidia drivers]. Webmin makes a very good base setting 99% of the time. It also gives you the option to restart the samba server from within it's pages. Also worth looking at is your /etc/hosts file to see if you have added your windows boxs and their local.domain.names plus alias's. Let us know how you get on. regards magnet
