If yes, then Samba may be able to broadcast its presence, but the ports for actual file and printer sharing may be blocked by the firewall. I have run into this exact problem before, on my laptop. In this case, I just disable the firewall temporarily while I share the file or printer, then restart the firewall. This problem goes both ways. I cannot print to another shared printer when my firewall is running. It's just the way the firewall is set up, and I like it that way. I don't mind having to temporarily turn off the firewall and turn it back on when I am done. Dave - -- "Nihil tam munitum quod non expugnari pecunia possit."
