I don't claim to know what I'm talking about, just what I did to get remote KDM etc working. If I'm way off, please someone correct me... -- Have you got any dns working? This was the problem I had. If you havn't, put the win98 machine in /etc/hosts on your linux server (yes even if you're using ip's to connect with) in the format... 10.0.0.3 nameofwin98.domainname nameofwin98 (replace 10.0.0.3 with the IP of the win98 box, and the names, obviously!) This sorted my problem with Xclients/servers. If that doesn't work, try putting the linux machine in your c:\windows\hosts file on the windows machine. Not sure if this last one will help at all. Let me know. Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! GeoCities - quick and easy web site hosting, just $8.95/month. http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/info1
