Yes, thanks for that, both of you... I appear to have it working now (fingers crossed) - I had exactly the situation you describe where I was using UNC on one machine, but physical address on the other. Changed both to the same UNC and changed both LOCAL SHARE's to TRUE and it has burst into life... Pity the documentation could have said that in the first place!
