I think you have a catch 22 here, but if you could answer a couple questions it would help. #1) are you on an NT network or are you using other samba servers, or non-of-the-above? #2) is the FBSD machine the master browser? (probably not) #3) is the laptop on the same subnet as the FreeBSD machine? #3a) is the laptop on the same subnet as the rest of the network? (probably not) #4) can you manually connect to a ms machine on your network? e.g. open up explorer and go to \\SAMBA\SHARE (please type something real here). I believe you can't see the other computers on the network because your are #1 on a different subnet and #2 behind the natd box. What both prevent your laptop from seeing the broadcast messages from the master browser, AND prevents the master browser from seeing your computer. I don't believe you can see the FreeBSD machine because, again, you can't see the master browser and if you can't see the master browser you have no idea what computers are on the ms network. I think you may have a way around this but (in all honesty) I need check this out and get back to you. Also, the answer depends on the answers to those questions above. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Russell D.
