If so, there should be an 'SMB4K' thingie in your tray, I hear tell. See if that shows you the machines on the network. If you are *not* using KDE, bless you, and fire up LinNeighourhood, see if you can browse the network that way. LinNeighbourhood should be under your networking tools, if not, install it according to your preferred method, in your case best bet is through MCC (is it still called that?) Software Management. > Shouldn't I share some resources first? If they can't even respond to a ping, sharing won't work, but yes. Best tool for that is Samba, IMO. In MCC, you should have a Samba Wizard, it will let you share out home dirs on any Linux boxes on the network, and also access Windows shares if you have any of those yucky things ;-) -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed." -- Buddha
