And from that point nothing.

The windows boxen i have around teh place seem to be connecting fine, both
from the command line and from GUI clients.

I'm running a RedHat 7.1 box with a 2.4.3-12 kernel(recompiled), but i had
problems with the stock kernel out of the box.

Any ideas - i've never come acros this before

Thanks

Carl
