Unfortunately, no.. PPP doesn't officially support doing that. I think there may have once been an unofficial Microsoft proposalo or something that got shot down. What you can do is pass the NBNS server IP addresses to the Win98 client via IPCP (see the mpd man page, ipcp section). This "should" work assuming you have an NT domain controller at that address, I think. Make sure you have the same workgroup setting too, etc. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design, Inc. * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
