One more question keij ..... Is there Ftp service required on NT side

are you using samba or something else? it is odd. hehehe.. .

if it's just a LAN. you shouldn't need FTP for file accessing. it's just like a LAN with an all-Windows OS, but in this case it's between a Linux and a Win NT OS. samba, for example, is a bridge between these 2 OSs.. .
