Also: for example - when I use command-K - and type the local IP of the machine: smb://192.168.1.136 - the same error comes up every time - "the Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in " smb://192.168.1.136" could not be read or written. Error code -36." - I have tried everything I know - to no avail - any ideas? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hostalive.com [db-lists]
