Hmm. I do happen to know all of the information that you gave (host name, IP address, etc.). I will check out that program. Thanx Bob!
I am blind because I can't find the "Find Files) in the K Button! :confused: I must be blind or something because I looked in all of the sub-menues as well and no dice. I am using KDE 2.2.2. This is probly not a big thing but it is a convienient feature that I'd like to have.
Thanx for all the help guys!! This is a great forum! :cool:

Found this recently when looking for Linux based networking solutions. You may want to take a look at what they have done.
http://master-www.linuxrouter.org:8080/
Linux Router Project (LRP) n.
A networking-centric micro-distribution of Linux.
LRP is small enough to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk, and makes building and maintaining routers, access servers, thin servers, thin
clients, network appliances, and typically embedded systems next to trivial.
If you are the Admin. for the server that you mentioned, making the LINUX box the "hub" and Internet portal may solve the problem that you initially asked about, as well as providing your network with additional security.

Thanx for the reply Sleeping Dog (you sound pretty awake to me )!
What I'd like to do is simply make this Linux PC just another node on the Winodws 2000 server. If you click the link, you will see some of the trials I have gone through with Samba to try and make this happen. All I wanna do is share some files (mostly MS Office)access the internet, and share a couple of printers. I had the internet (I'm on windows 2000 now) but when I installed and configured Samba, everything went to crap as described in the link (the Mandrake User message board). I just want to undo what I have already screwed up and start over so that it works.
