If your win98 box works when it is one the same network as the file servers, what you label LAN, then try a "net use * \\xx.xx.xx.xx\share" from the private network where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP of the server. If that works and you cannot see the servers in network neighborhood, you need to use WINS or setup a lmhosts file on your win98 machine. I use an NT machine behind my freebsd firewall (w/ nat) to connect to fileservers accross the internet without problem, with the help of an lmhosts file. Until you config WINS or a lmhosts file your machine has no way to resolve the server name into an IP. It works on a local subnet via broadcasts, but your firewall stopping those local broadcasts, as it should. tim -----Original Message----- From: Zachary Drew [mailto:drew0054@tc.umn.edu] Sent: Monday, October 11, 1999 12:03 PM To: Tim Sammut Subject: RE: Microsoft sharing over a natd box On Mon, 11 Oct 1999, Tim Sammut wrote: > It is more than likely a browsing issue.
