I should have elaborated a bit more. I did try running the code against both enabled and disabled with same result. Different flags value tho.

I knew what you meant by 'Anding' the bits. Same as figuring out a subnet... I even thought about converting the number to binary and figuring out the switch values with a pencil. :)

Now for the very embarrasing truth of the matter...

use Win32::Lanman != use Win32::lanman

Change that detail and it all works like a charm.

Apreciate the help and thanks to BrowserUK as well!!
