Second, change MIDEARTH to what ever workgroup name your are using with the guests. I believe the default is WORKGROUP. Thisr, change LUTHIEN to what ever name you want this computer to show up as when browsing the network. I usually take the hostname of the computer. If the full name is name.system.com then call the computer NAME. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
