I got everything working with the biggest problem being shorewall. I have it removed for the moment. I can read, write, and print files to my Linux system from the Windows. However, I can only see the disk drives on the windows system from the Linux system. I have the disks shared under windows. I can not for the life of me find anything that would prevent me from reading the shared files on Windows from the Linux PC. This usually means that I have overlooked the obvious. Any help is greatly appreciated. David
