Nic,
I figured I would set up the IP chains as soon as I have the connections
working, otherwise I would have a whole other set of variables to
troubleshoot, but that is my intention. Richard Gowen's response (he's not
much of a Microsoft fan, is he) said I can use the Apache httpd proxy which
I have not set up yet. Do you have httpd running the proxy services on your
machine? Do you have wins support = No in smb.conf?
BTW, how did you know I have an uncle named Bob (or is this an inside joke)?
Frank
