I haven't delved into it too much in Linux, but I believe Samba takes care of that. Correct me if I am wrong. I also can ping by name or IP, though I have no DNS (which I believe actually has nothing to do with it, that's for FQDN, ie. internet, not LAN) server running. > PS and what does fstab have to do with it? The only time fstab should enter into it, IIRC, is if you want to mount network shares at startup, and I have never had anything but headaches doing that. Much easier just to create a mountscript...boom, yer mounted, with one click or keystroke. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 08:52:00 up 1 day, 9:31, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
