What would make it so that I can connect to a SAMBA server from behind a
NAT from a WinNT machine, but can not connect to a Win98 machine when I can
connect to both from the computer providing the NAT? Do I have to set a
port to route differently? The installed protocols on the machines at both
ends are IPX/SPX and TCP/IP.
Thank You,
Matthew Ballard
