Not stupid, quite relevant. I forgot to mention this to the new participants in this thread. I have no firewall running on SuSE 7.3. On the Win 98 SE machines, I have Norton Personal Firewall setup on all three. Unfortunately, Norton PF for Win is quite different in its fomat than for Mac, which is what I am most familiar with. As I have no problems in Win 2k and I do not make changes on the other computers when I boot into SuSE ;-) I can only assume that there either is a general SuSE networking setup problem that I am experiencing, or it most likely has something to do with ping and smbclien not being able to penetrate Norton PF. Unfortunately, I don't know how to reconfigure the Win version properly. Cheers, Brian
