Well, this is cute... I tried hooking it up to a working all-MS network (NT 
and 98), and it doesn't do that, either. It won't connect to an NT domain, 
and won't connect to a Workgroup.  You can SEE other machines, but can't 
connect to them. Not hardware, either... I replaced the NIC with a pretty 
generic 3Com.

So the problem doesn't have anything to do with Linux at all, and I'm taking 
it to another list for resolution.  IF I get it resolved I'll let you know 
what the f*** they've done to networking to break it.  Again.

Thanks for the ideas, guys.

You feel a whole lot more like you do now than you did when you used to.
