Hi Skeeter, Of course, you should never lose folders on your own PC. However, I have found that Shared Folders In Net Neighborhood may sometimes disappear. They will usually still be there using Windows Explorer and look on Drive C or D, wherever they are. My explanation of that is that the term "Microsoft Works" is an oxymoron. As far as connecting to your Linux files, they should be accessible after disabling the LInux firewall. Often you have to manually type in what you are expecting to connect to because the Network Browser in your Win PC is "lazy". By that I mean, if your Linux box is named "Linux01", then you use >Start>Find>Computer then enter either "LInux01" or "\\Linux01" (I can't remember which). This should find your Linux box if all other parameters are OK and you can then map drives or whatever. DS
