What in the world makes you think you can't browse w/o NetBEUI? All NetBEUI is, is a protocol, such as IPX and TCP/IP. They are interchangeable at that level and have nothing to do with browsing. I happen to intentionally not install NETBEUI on my windoze (95/98) machines and only have TCP/IP, browsing works just fine (why have multiple protocols when they aren't needed? less overhead I say). Browsing is determined more by subnets and wins servers and the like. Now down to the original question... Are the Samba / win98 / NT machines all on the ip subnet and all in the same workgroup/domain? What type of machine is the "master browser", NT server? Can you manually connect to the FreeBSD machine from the NT machines, e.g. using NET USE \\MACHINE\SHARE ? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Kent Stewart [SMTP:kstewart@3-cities.com] > Sent: Monday, May 03, 1999 3:05 PM > To: Wayne Shiver > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Not able to see freebsd machines on NT machine > > I assume you are running SAMBA.
