Thanks Vern, Good information. My thought on the iSeries is that I KNOW every PC can get to it. And I am finding out that it is a little harder to get PC's outside of local routers to see each other (without setting up LMHosts files, etc.).

Definitely. The root of the IFS is just like Windows. You only need to create a file share - easiest way is in OpsNav under the File Systems item, IIRC. It's there somewhere. One caveat - the iSeries is not as fast for this as Intel boxes. You might could be better off putting things on the Linux box - I believe it, too, can participate in Windows networking (Samba?), which is what the iSeries is doing here - NetServer is the iSeries way of doing Windows file shares. Hate to have to say that. But file serving just is not the iSeries' bag. I don't know what the problem is, but it's there. Of course, if speed is not an issue, then the security and backup of the iSeries is a plus. Occasional updates may not need blinding access speed. HTH Vern
