Everything does work, it's just that the server seems to be disappearing
from the chooser. All shares work exactly as expected.

This is what nbplookup tells me (wich obviously works) :

I haven't defined a zone, what I understood is that appletalk adresses > 65000
or so are zoneless networks. But I'm getting the feeling I'm very wrong here.

Urg. A Dell PowerEdge 2450 with of course the EtherExpress 10/100.
What would I be doing with such a card (except maybe throwing in a 3Com or so)?
Oh: One last thing, it was indeed 'noddp' instead of 'noudp', I mistyped this
as I was using two tera term sessions from a windows box at teh time of
writing, and retyping seemed a little faster than figuring out how to
copy and paste it :)
Thanks so far and looking forward to you replies!

Oh and Paul: Sorry for my not paying attention with replying :)
