Gotcha. My earlier use of "192.168.1.20" was due to a typo.

I still can't get it to work however. I'll try it on the local network
tomorrow. It may be due to how I am logged in to my laptop (cached domain
info...).

Thanks,
John Hebert

When I said 'NET USE' I was thinking Windows. Just use smbclient.
