Hi Chris

That is correct.
I have 2 links to a NFS mounted directory and 2 links to samba mounted 
directories. I can only enable the nfs at work, while at home I have access to 
the samba shared hard disk.

What should I do to avoid these problems, while maintaining the facility to 
link to these dirs.

Tx/Alain
