My experience with Windows machine lists has been pretty spotty... sometimes machines disappear off the network for no good reason, or don't show up in the browse list, even if they're joined to the domain. This is why I've had much better luck with using DNS. As always, YMMV. :) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
