[Apology to the list! I do not have Matthew's original message else I would have sent this rather long response to him directly.] Matthew - The program you need is MSCLIENT. I have attached a description of how to use it which was posted to the Samba List. I have not tried the MSCLIENT but use WfWg clients with a SMB server on a HP 9000 system for print and file sharing - works great. I consider GNU, Linux and Samba the absolutely "best" software available. > Matt Behrens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote (on Samba List): > What you want to do involves using the NET command, however under WFW for > some strange reason you can't use the TCP/IP protocol in DOS.

This will allow you a connection under DOS... --------------------- MSCLIENT Message from Samba List ---------------------- Date: Sat, 16 Nov 1996 19:05:11 -0300 (GMT-0300) From: "C.
