Hi :)
Ahah, i was wondering what happens if you copy the files that don't work from the NAS back onto the 
machine you are using?  Do they work when they are back on your machine?  - using the NAS as 
back-up and storage but not for working on files actively?

I don't know if there is a Windows command or something that would identify whether you are using 
cifs or smb or something else.  It's vaguely possible that by knowing the model of the router we 
might be able to find out what it's defaults are but i'm not sure i would want to state that sort 
of thing this publicly.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks, but that doesn't tell me what yours is
actually running, merely
what it supports (quite a lot, which is pretty good).
What we don't know
is which network protocol the NAS is offering your
Windows client - my
guess would be CIFS, but like I said, its just a
guess.

If it is CIFS, then there are these known issues :

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40898


As examples of just some of the problems plaguing
users trying to
open/save/modify files in LibO via SMB/CIFS shares...

If it is NFS, there are yet again other bug issues,
and the likewise yet
others for AFS, and WebDav, sigh.

Thanks for all your time Alex, but I think I might be
in over my head
here.  The DHCP server is my router (Linksys
WRT300N) and that is set to
automatic configuration.  The drop down list of
options doesn't look like
anything we talked about so far.  Thus, I don't
know where to find out
which network protocol is actually being used, but
worse than than, I'd
not have a clue regarding how to configure it even if
I knew what it was. 
I also looked at the properties for my wireless
network connection and
could not find mention of protocols there
either.  

The good news is that I can backup my files to my
NAS.  I may just have to
find another medium if I want to read them off an
external drive.
