Using the /firstHost option on WinBoard attempts to run "rsh" on your NT machine to talk to the other host. We have rsh here, but I don't think it's a standard part of NT, so you probably don't have it. If you do have rsh, it won't ask for a username and password; instead, it uses the same username as you have on your NT machine, and you must have the name of your NT machine in your .rhosts file on the remote (Unix) machine. I don't have any problems using WinBoard to connect to ICS. You don't have to be registered. Could you send me mail saying WHAT problems you are having? --Tim
