Ah, *now* I have enough information to make an intelligent guess, and point you in the right direction. SMB sharing is usually done via mDNS & friends. That's handled on OpenSolaris by Avahi. NFS - at least to Mac's - can be done the same way. Done right, those names will also work in your browser. I don't have anything but Unix boxes, and have had DNS & DHCP doing this for a long time, so can't help with Avahi. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm at mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
