hi all
im having a problem connecting to my windows network via linux. I am not
the admin of this network and it is _not really secured_ as it uses
McCaffee antivirus and Firewall. The mccaffee firewall that we use
doesnt block against incomming network connections.


Hmmm - a firewall that doesn't block incoming isn't a firewall AFAIK
I think you mean doesn't block outgoing?


well im afraid that the firewall we were using was McCaffee firewall
(which we are removing). idk if afaik is windows compatible or not with
windows (since the admin insists on using windows on our server and im
the only ubuntu user in the family)
At any rate if you can use other Win machines on this network it's not
the problem.

Can you just clairfy - Windows XP Home? 98? 3.1? 2K?

xp home
And how do you log in when the Windows machine is powered up? Click a
name? or does it log directly into Windows without a log in page?

and it logs in directly w/o login page (boy that sounds like a secure
server dont it? :P )
