do you see your linux box in 'network neighbourhood' ? Can you see your windows network from the linux box? (I always recommend komba2 for this function. It is on your CD's) Or more simply just type in the URL line of konqueror smb://windows_ipaddress or smb://windowscomputer_name_in_hosts_table If you open SWAT. In the globals section do you have "Encrypt Passwords"=yes ? and have you selected 'share' or 'user' security ? > > Any help would be very much appreciated. > > TIA > > Lee
