Assuming 'permissions' are changeable, what do you think about setting the permissions of M: to match shose of N:? I have tried doing that and either it can't be done, or I don't know how to do it. Also, that may or may not be on a per machine basis.
The problem exists on ALL computers on the home network which suggests (to me) it is something in Readyshare (Duma). This is why I am looking for expertise.

I have a contract with GearHead which I think is a 3rd party outfit OFFERED by Netgear. They have been great for me ever since I bought the XR500 a few years ago ... until lately.

As usual, .. thank YOU for your help and time.
