| Thanks again! I've done all that and now, at least, I can get the authentication dialogue so I'll check on another Mac to try it out. I wonder why Mac help doesn't point out the need to open ports, etc. to implement this function? Seems pretty fundamental to me. Anyway...I'm grateful for your help. |

| It's not mainly intended for internet use, that's just an additional feature. The main intention is use within your own network where info about opening ports on routers would drastically and unnecessarily confuse users. In addition, the opening of ports etc. is not a straight-forward process that's the same for all routers/firewalls/cablemodems/ADSL-modems.
