G'day folks, bit of advice please.
Aside from ticking ShareFS 'On' in RISC OS Networking, is there any
other configuring required to get RISC OS computers to communicate
over a LAN?
Assume all the computers are fully network configured, both LAN and
WAN. As it now stands, sometimes they'll communicate with each
other, sometimes not.

Very useful article.

When copying material from one VRPC to another VRPC on the same
network, occasionally the receiving ShareFS doesn't show the supplying
one. But I find that there's sometimes a time lag, and if I wait a few seconds the source computer shows up.
But from experience of your questions, Dave, I've probably given the
wrong answer as usual. 8-)

I'm not aware of any ShareFS options in Boot.Configuration > Network
but you might like to try this:
Create an Obeyfile with the single instruction
Share <disc name>
give it a name (example myshare) and drag in Boot.Tasks
For example on my ARMX6 I have an Obeyfile in Boot.Tasks containing...
Share SCSI::SSD

I don't think we know enough yet about the symptoms you're seeing.
Once a pair of drives are communicating, do they continue to do so until
they are powered down?
Do they ever start communicating after initially failing, without any intervention from you?
When you look at the "Resources:$.Discs" window (by clicking on the Discs icon on the icon bar), for any given drive, is it visible in that window
on all the machines on the LAN?
What sets the discs to be shared? Is it a line in your boot choices somewhere? If so, does boot ever fail to complete with any other
error(s)?

Thanks for the prompts David, I'll make some time Saturday to revisit the problem and see if I can supply more details.
Thanks
