Answer #2: Not sure. In the domain controller host you can see and open any share belonging to different Workgroups. Samba or native Win32. Maybe another subscriber can clarify this issue for us. > > Question #3: Do the above situations become problematic if "mydomain.com" > is a dyndns.org Dynamic DNS internet domain on a dynamic IP served off a > cable modem?
