Hi Faisal, Are you running the newest Samba? I think this is relatively new because I run fbsd 4.8 and rh 9, both have samba but fbsd is running the new 3.0.10 and rh is running an older 2.x version. Here are my (persistent) connections on my win xp gateway: System:4 TCP delliver:3033 penguin:netbios-ssn ESTABLISHED System:4 TCP delliver:3034 swamisalami:microsoft-ds ESTABLISHED Notice that the connection is to netbios-ssn on the rh box running samba 2.x, but to microsoft-ds which afaik is port 445 for the fbsd box running samba 3.0.10. TBH I don't know which port is being kept open for rh, so maybe this is of no help at all. Well it helps me a little to repeat the bit that I do know. :) Marty Marty Landman, Face 2 Interface Inc. 845-679-9387 Search & Sort Easily: http://face2interface.com/Products/FormATable.shtml Web Installed Formmail: http://face2interface.com/formINSTal
