Really, the only difference that I see is that with 2.0.5 you need to specify the full sharename (\\server\share) because they don't show up when you do just \\server. But since the users want them mapped to My Network Places, it really isn't a big deal. And it might be a .conf setting, but since no one needs that ability I haven't bothered checking into it. I remember a story a long time ago that XP was suppose to be incompatible, but in my case that hasn't been so. In more recent history, I seem to have this faint memory that I've had problems with Samba too, but I think that was with Windows ME. -- Brent Metzler | AIM: bmetzl1999 brent at bmetzler.org | Y! : bmetzl1999 612-270-0199 | ICQ: 43952639
