Thanks Rob, that's what I suspected. How do I identify each computer that is
allowed access when I edit the Win2K access list? If, on each Win98
computer, my only startup logon is, say, "user", is that what goes into the
access list? Or is it the machine name as Network
Neighborhood/MyNetworkPlaces sees it, such as "M2e5o3"? Thanks.
