Sure. Win9x is a broken client OS that doesn't know how to automatically exchange browse lists with other subnets on the WAN, even though it advertises itself via NetBIOS as being able to do so. I don't think there is any work-around that will allow Win9x to see a remote network neighborhood, short of putting a machine with a brain (such as NT, Samba, or Win2K) on the subnet with it. The ping issue, OTOH, should be resolvable. Are you trying to ping by name, or by IP address when this fails? Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
