[aclug-L] Re: Logging into NT LAN

["The Bobster" <thebobster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My understandinf is that the NT 4.0 tool set is inadequate to support UNIX
or LINUX clients. You can access services like pop3 and smtp and do a little
ldap, but that is about it. Windows 2000  is supposed to quite a bit more to
support U/L clients, and Microsoft is developing a course for it, but I
probably couldn't tell you more until I sit the class after Win2K gets
released to manufactur. I'll be able to tell you more in a couple of months.

happens regardless of who I login as.  I was surprised to see a netmask of
255.255.255.0....this is a big LAN.
