Right off-hand, I would say your network administrator is a dictator.
And one who needs to be reined in. Our network administrator is
exactly the opposite, making every effort to accommodate the desires
of the individual users. Perhaps that is why I have been able to do
nearly everything on our Microsoft network with my Mac that our PC
users have been able to do, and now that I have installed the latest
Mac OS on my computer, I am told that those few features I haven't
had access to will now be available.

By the way, i didn't toss my $0.02 worth in to start another Mac/PC
squabble, but merely to point out that I suspected that the problem
probably lies somewhere else than with Phys-L's server, since our
network appears to be at least similar to yours, and yet we do not
have the problems you complain of.

Never ask someone what computer they use. If they use a Mac, they
will tell you. If not, why embarrass them?
