If a WINS server isn't running, you will ahve to have an LMHOSTS file - at least on NT. Zebee

If they are, the missing execution bit 'x' could be a large factor in your problem. To be able to cd into a directory is for that directory to be executable. Basically if you wish to be able to use directories for other than a "list" of files, don't disable the execution bit. Allan

There is a Netbios name specified. Anyway, why would a netbios name affect the situatuation when some shares work and others don't > >If a WINS server isn't running, you will ahve to have an LMHOSTS file > - at least on NT. > I also have a lmhosts file, but the same question applies - why some work & others don't >Zebee Thanks DT
