I read somewhere that as the PPP server is a router, > network browsing will not work... is this true? That is true. You'd need at least one server at each subnet. But once I did a ugly hack to make it working: I bimapped broadcast address= es=20 along the subnets. As far as I can remember this worked, but it was just fo= r=20 fun, I never used it. Also prividing a WINS at SAMBA and using that on the= =20 ppp link was usefull but that was long ago (WinNT WinCE and Samba 1) =2DHarry > > Thanks. > > _________________________________________________________________ > ninemsn Premium transforms your e-mail with colours, photos and animated > text.
