You should be able to share files from your XP box, even XP Home, but that is getting a little off topic for this mailing list.

It'd help even more if I could start whatever server XP is blabbing about when I go to share the folder on the XP box I'm wanting. Looks as if man smbclient is just gonna be pure educational reading as apparently I can't share folders from my XP box. *kicks XP* I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions, if I ever get to actually try any of this, I'll let you guys know. -- Joseph A Nagy Jr Founder and Partner Joseph A Nagy Jr Enterprises http://jan-jr-ent.netfirms.com Purgatory is where Windoze users go when they die so they can figure out Linux and ascend into whatever higher plane one believes in.
