Hi Wayne.

Since you've been there and done that, can you tell me if you've seen this (G)? The technical group tried switching me from Novell's client32 to the Microsoft client, and wound up having to re-install windows :-( They are finding that many of the machines in the office have the services button missing when they attempt to add a configuration under properties in network neighborhood. Have you encountered this? What did you do about it (short of re-installing windows)?

Thanks so much for the help and the information.
