Hi Trever, Thanks, but I'm happy to say we've replaced all the NT Servers here with Linux Samba Servers - we installed one for them on a new site, and within a few months of trouble-free networking, they agreed the changeover of their existing Servers from NT to Linux!!
And I've got to say, they've gone from a new problem every day to hardly a whimper full stop! Long live Linux!!
