[QUOTE="Mason, post: 1270486, member: 176184"] Unfortunately I do have other devices, I have a networked printer, an HP MediaVault NAS drive and a Time Capsule. I'm a recent convert to the Mac. I needed to replace my aging and slow laptop back in January and after setting out my requirements, one of which was no OS, I was a Linux user so didn't want to pay for Win 7, I realised I was in MacBook Pro territory price wise so I bought one. Since then I've replaced my main machine with an iMac so there are no longer any PCs connected to the network other than the Vision box I thought about creating two workgroups, one containing just the vision box with the other for everything else but I suspect that the Mac will still be able to see the Vision box on the other workgroup and try to connect to it :Grimmace: This is beginning to look like a three pint problem! I'm out tonight with friends so will discuss it with them. We'll be risking the wrath of our respective wives and girlfriends but some things are important! What I need to do is get to understand about networking Macs, NAS and printers etc. without using Workgroups. Any help in this area would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
