My NeXT machine picked up the zones here and found a useable network ID,  
10099, so I did not consult with the local people. One thing you might  
check is your local zone. I changed mine accidentally and things went to  
hell in a handbasket. Our major problem here is not being able to  
disconnect from a server after openning and closing a file. The system  
thinks the file is still open. The one thing that seems to work perfectly  
is access to printers once you guess the correct laserwriter driver. We  
are Appletalk 2 on an extremely large network, ~4000 unix machines, and  
~7000 macs. Bob
