Thanks for all of the responses.

'cause you asked:


          
RH9-2

W2K

 I agree with Jerry it doesn't make sense for that reason.  I just don't 
have a lot of experience configuring Samba. Basically,
I read a few more pages in the O'reilly book every other month then I 
play. I was just wondering if anybody else had experienced
this. BTW the disk share have never been a problem it's only after a 
reboot that the W2K box can't find the printer til I
"./S57smb restart".

If I find out what stupid thing I'm doing I let you all know.


So I guess I just live with the KVM behavior :)

Thanks again.

Rich.
