What do you mean with ``connect to the Samba server in the usual fashion''? I guess you want the XP client to be a member of the samba domain. Isn't it? For that, you need to have the rights on the XP client to make it a member of the samba domain (usually admin rights). Without these rights, it will be extremely hard to achieve your goal(s). -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Willy ************************************* W.K.
