Interesting thread, my question is, why do the majority seem to have no problem at all with this and others battle it constantly. Supermount gives me no problems at all on two machines in my home office. Normal install without having to use any alternate install methods etc. This is a puzzle to me. Of course I have heard and seen the same kinds of problems on the other OS so as a generalization I would have to agree with Tom B. I have been messing with the wiring on my network , trying to get it wired as per most of the manuals I and howto's that I have read and no matter what I always end up going back to the scheme that works but is not "right". So as always do what it takes to make things work and remember "YMMV". Cheers, -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
