Here's a puzzler. I know that in winblowz you can map network drive \\ip addy\share, however you cannot do this with smbfs. OK so I create a local DNS record such that server resolves to this ip addy. Winblowz will mount that way, but smbfs won't. Oh yeah, this share is located at an IP addy at a sattelite office over the internet. Is this simply not doable? TMS III
