I am getting the patches now. If you knew how much trouble I have had
trying to track down the file I needed to fix this problem with the NT
server...
But if I can get a Linux box set up here with RAID, and continue to show
them that its better, I won't have to worry about NT anything anymore.
What kind of file sharing are you doing? Graphics, or database stuff? We
are a small (but rapidly expanding) book publisher, so we use a lot of
bandwidth with graphics and I am putting together OPI like database thing
using 4D that will be getting A LOT of use.
Glad to know that there is a patch available, and that I have gotten such
a quick response.
