ok I have no trouble in talking to my windblows 2000 box. now, what I want to do now is use the netbios name Shaun as that is the account setup on my windows machine. Considering that my netbios name for linux is the same as my isp that being "goanna", how do I change it to use 'Shaun'? Shaun.. "Has anyone ever tasted an "END"? Are they really bitter?"
