Look for : local master = no os level = 1 domain master = no preferred master = no
wins support = no Those are all rem'ed out by default which should normally be ok. But "un-reming" and setting them as above will make sure that you aren't having a problem with these elections. What I described as using the Linux box as a wins server would be changing these all to yes and os level = 100. Make sure the Linux box is always the first booted and the last shutdown (if shutdown). This has Linux taking care of listing all requests which computers have about which files are available. Make sure if you do have Linux act as the wins server to go into the network setting on win98 and setting wins by entering the Linux box's IP. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.
