Murphy was an optimist. > This "should" work assuming you have an NT domain controller I had to install WINS servers on the domain controllers first. And I had to define the WINS servers within the TCP/IP properties dialog box of the VPN connection on the Win98 box. The Win98 box got the addresses but ignored the WINS servers for name resolution (in other words, still node type 1, b-node, broadcast only). Defining the WINS servers on the client changed the node type to 8 (WINS with broadcast as backup). Things are working right now, even with an incorrect subnet mask. All that remains is a little mpd hacking. I don't want to maintain a third password database so mpd will have to learn to use the system password database. /s/Udo -- Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
