Look at using an lmhosts file: see lmhosts (www.realcomputerguy.com) Or a good bet is to make the Linux PC a Samba server and have it be the browse master. Also get to know the command line tool NET VIEW (and NET USE) Installing the NETBEUI protocol for Windows XP helps with its browsing issues (just google for it) - it certainly helped me on a huge subnet. |

I always just go in to My Computer and type: \\computername\ This'll bring up the PC and its easy to browse shares from there :) Have a search for a thread by Poppa John a while back, I walked him through setting up network permissions and it _will_ help you Cheers Chill. |
