I am hunting for a reference on the SMB protocol. (I don't even known what the letters stand for.) Could someone tell me where I can find a reference which will allow me to learn more about it? Robert Cousins Dept. Mgr, Workstation Dev't. Data General Corp. Speaking for myself alone.

Last I checked, "Server Message Block" is the protocol (layered on top of NetBIOS and/or NetBEUI) which MS-NET and Lan Manager use to work their remote file access. -GAWollman -- "All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and children. . . .

Could someone tell >me where I can find a reference which will allow me to learn >more about it? SMB stands for "Server Message Block". It is a protocol used in the LAN Manager environment. I don't personally know of a good reference, but I would think that any detailed book on LAN Manager would describe SMB.
