I had already changed the SFS on the latitude earlier by removing the check
mark and making sure Classic was chosen.

The Black Ice firewall on Freedom includes Latitude's iP address as being
welcomed in.

I can browse from Latitude and can see \\freedom \\dellicous and \\pfm.

When I link to the \\freedom printer manually, it does ask me for a username
and pw. I enter it and I get to the printer fine.

I can now browse from Freedom and see \\latitude \\pfm \\dellicious. If i
try to link to a share on latitude, it prompts me for a password and I'm in.

So i think now it is just permissions, but I can deal with that.

You're the best!!
