Charles,

I can ping the server name, but not NBTSTAT.

I'd prefer not to ask these guys much - think dilbert - when it comes
to iseries access or netserver problems.

I'm downloading client access now, and since my laptop works just fine
from my home network, i'm assuming I can get my desktop running too.

If i'm wrong, i'll let get back to you all.

Thanks,

Rick
