Yes but there are no answers, forcing me to search other places, I have manged to get connectivity at leased I think I do. Let me explain, when the app gui based comes up you can see that it has found connection because it list it in the title bar. next section lists active databases of which none are listed. So I think its because there is a domain and I am not logged in to gain access to the shares. The database will ask for a password but so will the network. The Question is how do you log into a domain with fc1?
