Hi Joe,

can you export the files from the fileserver with samba?
Don't know enough about samba to do this... Will look for a howto :->

OK. make the network standard tcpip and have the users connect that way and
chuck the netbios stuff
This seem the only 'Work around' I have at press, will look into samba

remember that tcpip was not a part of MS's plan, since Bill didn't see any point
in the
internet. The tcpip layer (socks) was written by other people as an add-on. As
well
Bill doesn't want to be compatible with anyone else.
IT Directors like Billy though, 'I mean look at this excel sheet I've just
done!, his systems are brilliant!' You must know what I'm fighting :-)
Thanks for the assistance, I know it's difficult to comment on Windows stuff!
Joe
