If this means that these shares are written as mountpoints to fstab, well then be it. But obviously the GUI has some problems doing so.

The net is full of people having this issue. Maybe this is due to the many ways a windoze machine populates the browse list. hosts file, wins server, broadcasts, master browser, netbios, etc., pp. - with such a chaos of obsolete and not so obsolete techniques things can only get awry... Again Apple showed them how to do this reliable and with no configuration effort on the participating machines. It is justified they named it "zeroconf"... Cheerz Don |
