This is windows configuration issue. And possibly switch configuration. I have a feel that if you run samba in Linux and make it accessible from Windows, problem will be gone since stupid MS box realize there is a Linux box out there. Better thing to do is learn IP masquerading on Linux and use Linux as gateway. Linux is better OS for gateway and IPMASQ/firewall. Let windows machine sits behind Linux safely and enjoy Game :) Cheers :) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ +
