Doug,

I don't think so - I'll check tonight.

> All the XP machines are pointing to 192.168.1.5 for wins?

Yes. It's assigned by DHCP. dhcpd on the 192.168.1.x network:

option netbios-name-servers                     192.168.1.5;

And by the linksys router on the 192.168.4.x network.

> All the 192.168.1 machines have a route to 192.168.4 ?

Yes. There's a static route in the Cisco.

 From dude (192.168.1.5) :

[root at dude maildrop]# traceroute 192.168.4.147
traceroute to 192.168.4.147 (192.168.4.147), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
  1  WRT54GS_external (192.168.1.4)  1.100 ms  0.665 ms  0.636 ms
  2  192.168.4.147 (192.168.4.147)  1.203 ms  1.238 ms  1.193 ms

Any other ideas? This is really p***ing me off!!

BTW, forgot to give version details:

Server: Fedora Core 4
Samba: 3.0.14a-2 (from RPM)
