It warns me that HTTP connections are being attempted and I have no web server on this box. Without ZA, a scan shows port 80 as being closed.... >On your statement, I am not sure if I totally understand it... >If NBT is disabled on your home computer, no one can make a connection to you. >If Netbios is disabled on your schools Internet routers, then you cannot >make a connection, It is not to my knowledge. There are many hundreds of computers on the "Microsoft network". To see them under Network neighborhood (or My Network Places) NetBios over TCP/IP has to be enabled as does WINS. As you can tell this is not my area of expertise, so I'm probably missing something simple (or even the concepts), but I've never been able to map any network drive since I got a cable connection. Perhaps I should ask one of the network gurus at school if they are blocking off campus access. Sorry for the off topic posts! :) I'll learn by lurk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris Kafer http://www.grad-college.iastate.edu/ippm/ippmhomepage.html ICQ: 12594489 PGP key available http://thornlab2.bb.iastate.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For unsubscription of this list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with email data containing unsubscribe emailadd sambar
