I have setup everything in yast (NFS, NIS, CUPS, etc.). I even downloaded and installed LISA, because it isn't on the cd's. I can ping every machine (2-9.3pro, 1-winxp) on the network successfully. I can access the SuSE machines via FISH only, not LAN. Sometimes I am told that the LISA daemon isn't running, yet when I check the running processes, it is on. I can't access printers; NFS doesn't mount; NIS hangs for a bit then timeouts, and shows up in the logs as a failed service. Sometimes if I fiddle with things, I'll get them to work, but the moment I reboot it to see if things took, all goes back to the way it was. My knowledge is limited. Yast is most usually my friend because I'm filling in boxes, etc. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bernd
