Looks to me like TSG has setup NFS. Which means that they will need to add your laptop into the /etc/exports, /etc/hosts.deny, and /etc/hosts.allow files on the server hosting the network drive. All you'd need to do is add an entry in your laptops /etc/fstab file to mount the network directory at boot or on demand. Bottom-line...you need TSG to allow it first. The rest is cake! jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
