Are the Macintosh computers members of the Windows domain? > Why the macintosh computer jam my NTLM helper when our Windows > computers are working fine and don't jam any NTLM helpers like the > Macintosh computer do ? Probably the macs is showing a login dialog.. this occupies a NTLM helper until the dialog is completed or the connection times out. This is one of many reasons why you need very many NTLM helpers for reliable operation. It's too dependent on the clients behaving well.. Regards Henrik
