Two points: To Bill: IMHO, the bigger question is whether Linux can support NetBEUI -- I know NetBEUI works in Win95, and I'm fairly certain it works in Win98, and is probably still supported in more recent versions. To Wally: The fact that the desktop's IP is assigned via the cable modem should not necessarily prevent you from seeing the Windows desktop. I think there are ways to assign two IPs to the same network card, and there was a post about this not too long ago on either the newbie or expert list. IIRC, civileme described the setup as the poor man's router (although I may have that mixed up with another thread). Randy Kramer
