In nautlius, try smb:///server_name Windows likes to use broadcasts for name resolution and this won't traverse the VPN, so if the names aren't in DNS you may have to use IP numbers. Depending on what you are trying to do on the office machines you may be better off setting up a server with terminal services or leaving an XP desktop set up for remote access and connecting via rdesktop. This lets you run all the local apps remotely instead of copying files and working with them under Linux. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
