Nicky we are going to need more information for these problems:
1. What kind of network is this, home or business? 2. How many PCs? 3. Which PC is the gateway, Windows or Linux? If it is Linux do you have a firewall installed? Is it Shorewall? 4. What do you mean by 2 DNS servers? Are they both belonging to your ISP or is one of the serving the internal network? 5. Yes you can view the shares between the PCs however you need to install SAMBA server and the SAMBA client on the Linux PC. But I think we need to resolve issues 1 to 4 first because they will affect this one. Mario On Thursday 08 January 2004 09:36 am, Nicky Formosa wrote: > Ok Found the error!
