Pedro, I'm afraid you've gone beyond my limited linux skills; I'm a GUI
person. My command line skills only go as far as "sudo gedit /etc/hosts" and
a few others! I certainly have no idea how to traverse the network via the
command line (I think thats what you're after).

If you could let me have a blow by blow account of how to do this I'd be
more than happy to try.

I did notice there were some updates to "gvfs" packages this evening though
I still can't see "stevesdocuments".

Kind regards, Steve
