>From what I gather at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=36634 nfs is unsupported by OOo :( The above bug was closed as a 'duplicate' bug ages ago, even though IMHO it was NOT a duplicate, and there were many users complaining that OOo still couldn't access files on NFS shares. What can I say? Don't use NFS. OOo only supports standards like smb, so set up a Samba server and get with the program! > Are there any tests I could run to see where it goes wrong?
