Does the Linux machine have a static address? You could have the Windows machine pull data instead of pushing to it. For example you could configure Windows Scheduler to rsync (or even copy via a Samba shared folder) twice daily (or however often you want Windows to pull). -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
