I have not used WINY2K but I have networked three computers at home together. It only took me a month to get two of them to talk to each other, then I had to reload my RH and it took me another month to get them to talk to each other again. When I had to do it a third time, it only took two days. One thing I think might be important would be the work group and computer ID's. You said that some of the boxes won't even ping themselves, which ones. The ones that can ping themselves, can Debian ping them. Also how many boxes (I am curious). John Miller Dain Rauscher Inc.

They won't but the Debian box seems to be okay. I've got addresses assigned, etc, but they won't talk to each other: some boxes won't even ping themselves. Anybody seen anything like this before? Any hints or suggestions (it's already occurred to me to have a huge bonfire).
