Paul,

Thats the same info as I had before, and that is setup.

I think though that as I'm referencing from 2000/xp clients, and using
the fully qualified DNS name \\logs.my.some.domain instead of \\logs,
then the lanmanserver doesn't come into it (i think) as thats a
WINs/Netbios thing (?)

Indeed if I put \\logs into explorer on a machine in the same network (I
don't have a WINs server), then explorer does find that machine. Without
that reg hack it would reject it. The server \\logs is also a DC if
that makes any difference.
