Apple or a Linux machine to the network "because of the DNS server running under Windows". This seems total clap-trap to me, and a ploy to ensure no-one infects their network with some inappropriate, but superior, OS.
Yes it is "clap-trap", most "infection" issues are down to Windows anyway. It isn't "their" network anyway, it's more likely to be *your* network. What he *might* mean is that it is possible for a samba server to cause an NT server to sulk. But the same thing can happen if you start adding NT servers to a network willy-nilly anyway. N.B. this has nothing to do with DNS. -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763
