Maybe I'm confused here. Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have to locations at location A I have a subnet of 192.168.1.0/24 at location B I have a subnet of 192.168.20/24. Presently I am able to ping from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.2.100, thus the IP layer is working. In addition to this I need for the Windows machines to be able to mount shares. If I understand that part of it correctly, it's a non routable (sub IP) protocol. So I need for the Non IP Ethernet frames to be bridged between the 2 locations , right? Or am I totally confused? I don't really deal with Windows machines very often, -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
