I was setting up a temporary share while changing the OS on the regular server, to have available for users before turning up for the day, and since it didn't fairly quickly work I've had to go with another workaround. I'll have a fresh gutsy install available soon and will nervously wait to see if I have the same problem on that. Thanks for all the replies though. google had been telling me the same things. All were done. Adding this to my list of unsolved mysteries... (since I might not have time to come back to this) Cheers, Roger
