To access files on the NT you may need to set up NFS on the NT, and then NFS mount an NT file system. This will require a commercial software addon AFAIK. If you want to have a web server on the FreeBSD machine invoke the Perl scripts on the IIS server you may need to set up a page on the FreeBSD box to redirect to the IIS server. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
