I'm still looking for any handy dandy tips on this one, but with 2k, not XP. I managed to get lucky once, only once. I've followed the same doc, right at the boxes, line by line.

All that fancy point and click crap can't even narrow it down more than that. I have to think there's an easier way? -mj > I managed to get it working.
