No problem - anything to spread Samba around! Except perhaps making it
into a VBS script and e-mailing it... :)

I should be able to identify whether or not they are the problem, anyway.
The easiest way to test would be to try connecting to the smbd or nmbd
ports on your NT box, from the Stratus ("telnet nt.box.hostname *" where *
is the port you want). If that can't connect, you know the packets are
getting blocked out.
