I merely tried the trace without thinking too hard to see what addresses might be being used. On second thoughts I suspect that file & print tries NETBIOS first and that works so it uses it. I also guess it tries the lowest live NIC first. So that *would* explain what appears to be weird routing - NETBIOS does not take any notice because it is not using TCP/IP. Problem solved - Well to my satisfaction at least. :-) As NetBIOS over TCP uses NetBIOS for non-routed transport, and then drops to TCP when the need for routing occurs (which was the impetus for TCPBIOS, anyway, as NetBIOS is non-routable), this is probably what's happening. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------
