The way a hdd is formatted when on a network, has NOTHING to do with one system, not being able to see another formatted in a different way, or on a different operating system.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Ping works from all PC's, Laptop is working fine so it's not the wireless unless it has to do with the authentication, 10.1.1.0 is the IP range, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet, 10.1.1.1 is the DNS and gateway. I will look for the sygate file and try the UNC path from command prompt. If all else fails I will format and start again. Easier than shagging around to much. Cheers	berryb (99)

FAT32/NTFS, or linux based. They'll still see each other if configured properly.

326830	2005-02-20 23:25:00	Yep. Got the meaning of the post now. A good point, the laptop is a new Dell so I assumed it is NTFS but maybe not?? Have to check. A bit slow off the mark this morning. Sometimes the obvious is right in front of you!! Cheers	berryb (99)
