Hi David (and SLUGers),
   Thanks for the tip you sent.

> Try setting RPC::*UNIX-CHECK-PASSWORDS-FOR-SHOW* to NIL.

   Unfortunately, I've become rusty (and I never did really grasp enough) on my
lisp/Genera (working with lame-o Win95). Can you please elaborate on how I implement
your suggestion. I tried what seemed the obvious way, typing (setq
RPC::*UNIX-CHECK-PASSWORDS-FOR-SHOW* NIL) in a lisp window, but I doubt if that's right,
especially since it didn't fix the problem.

To Recap:

   Symbolics 3650 on Genera 8.1.1 (with NFS server/client 425.0)
   Pentium 100 on Windows 95 and OmniNFS for Win95 (this is NFS client/server/printer)

**   I'm able to mount and access the Symbolics drive from the PC, but when I attempt to
access the PC using FSEdit I get an "access denied" error (and other messages, based on 
my fiddling with User Property NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM stuff). I may be totally messed up 
in the namespace object for the PC Host too, so I'll include a bit of that here.

These are lines from the namespace object for the PC host, named Strider. They show the
current settings. If anyone can point out errors/omissions, I'd appreciate the help.

Site          : DDREAMS
Nickname      : ST
Short Name    : ST
Machine Type  : PC
System Type*  : UNIX42 (I tried UNIX here too)
Address       : 87.0.0.6
Pretty Name   : Strider
Service       : FILE UDP NFS
Server Machine: Yes
Internet Domain Name: ddreams
User Property : NFS-REMOTE-FILESYSTEM / c:\    (I've tried many other things here ??)

On the PC side the Exported Paths are C:\ and D:\

All suggestions welcomed!  Thanks,  Scott
