Ouch!! Sounds more like a good reason to ditch NT. It's not LISa's problem if 
NT does not challenge it for a password.
I don't have NT (its a home network by the way). My Win98 machines however 
act correctly and will not let LISa browse below any directory with sharing 
disabled, and will challenge on password protected ones.

I'll try that. I'm new to Linux, and my Solaris experience is 3 years out of 
useage, so I'm just feeling my way in.
So far I like Mandrake 8.0 very much, and am just building my second Linux 
computer.

Anyone who gets frustrated with Windows should try this link. Its a good
