I am getting the following 2 positives which I'm not sure about. . It was possible to log into the remote host using a NULL session. The concept of a NULL session is to provide a null username and a null password, which grants the user the 'guest' access The following shares can be accessed using a NULL session : - IPC$ - (readable?, writeable?) Why is my Linux box returning windows issuses? I am running Samba but I didn't think it would cause this. Is it maybe because I am authentication off of an Active directory server and the RA setting is not correct there? The AD box is not under my administration so it could very well be wrong. - Josh Sekel IT Consultant Faculty of Business Brock University 500 Glenridge Ave. St. Catharines, ON L2S-3A1 T: (905) 688-5550 x:4691 F: (905) 688-9779 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
