*sigh* I can't really upgrade to NT, and I would like something less manual than physically
typing in the share and username, Network Neighbourhood would have been a good option. Well
hopefully you can rally up some support for writing a windows SMB client/server which isn't
M$ controlled, if so I'd like to propose the option to specify a username different to the
one on the win95 machine :-)

help me out here and give me a hint as to what the key is or where I can find information
about it?
