Yes and no. The short answer is: You can't logon on a NT domain as you would do with a Windows PC. However you can mount NT shares as any other user, with the same privileges or restrictions.
well, i'm not really looking to do this anyway. what i need is to be able to access the internet and read my e-mail. (sorry if that wasn't clear from my question.) at home, i use a modem to dial up (to a different server, BTW) and before i have access, a login name and password have to be sent, plus some other things. at work, something similar is done, by this progam LMSCRIPT. when i try to ping some machine, i get "network is unreachable". AFAIK, the ethernet card is configured properly, so the problem seems to be that the ping is sent to a network that does not accept anything coming from my computer. i hope this makes things clearer? any help very much appreciated. bye, joost -------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Joost Kremers, MA University of Nijmegen - The Netherlands Department of Languages and Cultures of the Middle-East PO Box 9103 6500 HD Nijmegen - The Netherlands phone: +31 24 3612996 fax: +31 24 3611972
