sorry if this has been settled by now, I am late at browsing the list.

If not yet resolved, what protocol have you set up on the NT machines? Might be the wrong direction, but...NT out of the box uses NetBIOS/NetBEUI as LAN protocol - which is _not_ routeable. If you add TCP/IP, NT will transport NetBEUI traffic via IP packets which _are_ routeable, e.g. via Pipelines. They call it NBT, and surprisingly, it works. Don't know about the performance which sometimes is secondary. Second thought: if the pipelines do not route, maybe the IPs are not from different networks? WINS resolves Windows names into IPs. You could try and use a LMHOSTS file, first column windows name, second column IP. Before you debug the Windows networking, try the TCP/IP tools that NT provides. I.e. ping, traceroute, telnet, ftp, ftp server. If all works well have a look at WINS, and at NT security. Using ISDN routers makes life a lot easier when you are connecting remote Windows machines. I would not consider DUN/RAS for all the hassles to come to make it work.
