Also, I have just had an idea, the other week I had to modify the /etc/services file on one of our servers to allow a certain port to talk, I have just looked in our /etc/services files and port 135/udp is not listetd, here is what is listed around the 130-140 mark for udp. --------snippit from /etc/services-------- netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service netbios-dgm 138/udp netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NETBIOS session service netbios-ssn 139/udp --------end snippit-------- Could it be the case that I need to add in 135/udp into the /etc/services file? ------------------------------------ John Paul Szkudlapski (Web Manager) Computer Services - BSFC t: +44 151 651 3720 f: +44 151 653 4419 m: +44 780 154 2033 w: http://hermes.bsfc.ac.uk -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
