Hi, You certainly need to use the SAMBA server in order to achieve the connectivity between Redhat and WIndows NT machines. To check your connection, follow these steps: 1. Make sure your cables are OK (yes, this hapens sometimes); 2. Ping your own machine to make sure your TCP/IP softwae is working correctly. 3. makes sure that your Linux and NT machines are on the same subnet. If they are not, then you need to set a network route from your Linux subnet to the NT subnet. If resolved, try 4. Ping your gateway for the NT subnet. Make sure you can also reach your machine from NT station. Remember that sometimes packets can go one way, but the gateway might not know which way to get them back; 5. Eventually, set up SAMBA server ( which is a bit of a task! ) and then use nmblookup utility to see any machine on your NT subnet, like nmblookup -A <IP address of an NT workstation> Of course, all of these steps might change based on what type of results you get (negative or positive). As you can see, your initial description wasn't descriptive enough to give you a more precise help!
