Still looking for help with this. I do not want to repost the log files unless there is interest. If anyone with a strong Vista background cares to take a look I'll be happy to forward all the data to them. The issue appears to be how to get a "locked down" version of Vista to connect to a Samba share. The Vista clients are members of a domain, the Samba server is not. -- Gary Dunn, Honolulu o...@aloha.com http://openslate.net/ http://e9erust.blogspot.com/ Sent from Slate001 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
