Again, I should have studied your addressing scheme in more detail. Anyway, at least the mystery of empty iptraces has (probably) been solved. Is there a trace utility for NetBIOS which mimics the functionality of iptrace? I don't use NetBIOS on any of my client sites, so I'm not very familiar with the available tools. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
