Um, ok 'man' has been proven to be difficult to understand even by the 
best of you, it isnt written for newbies, and I look at it, and it makes 
absoluteluy no sense to me at all.

Why the sarcasm, all I have done is ask a question based on this thread? 
I wasnt being nasty. So why the attitude?

The sarcastic answer still doesnt help, how can I use smbtree to help 
me. You were going to help the OP, what is different with my question? I 
have found out more in htis thread, than at any other time, when I have 
asked similar questions about error 255, but the thread stopped, and has 
gone nowhere. So I know there is an answer there somewhere. I just 
wondered if somebody could help,

Thank you.
