It sounds to me like a netbios/naming issue. I could be wrong, but try doing the `net view \\xx.xx.xx.x` from lucifer to satan's ip. If that works, then try enabling netbios over tcp/ip in network settings. It sounds like the win2k box isn't talking to the local master, and can't get a browse list. > > this is a LOT more complicated than NFS!!!
