I have a problem that has come up, that I have been unable to find an answer
to on either the knowledge base or using some tech sites.

When I previous had Win2000 on my workstion, I was able to encrypt a
directory, and share it, set permissions for the Adminstrators group, and
access it from another lan workstation by an Adminstrator with full access.

I have upgraded the Win2000 machine to WinXP, and proceded to set up this
shared encrypted directory, the same way. Only now I find that no one, not
even an Adminstrator, is able to write to the directory from a lan
workstation, even though list, read, and delete seem to work fine. Any
ideas? Is there something about WinXP encrypted directories that I don't
know, or is it an incompatability with the other Win2000 machines?

I'm hoping I don't have to have WinXP on all workstations to get this to
work. I'd think I'd revert back to Win2000 first.

Also have another router based question. I recently bought a quality
Firewall/Router/Switch Combo. Is this type of device technically also
considered a "brouter", even though the segments(ports) it serves are of
similar media? I was understanding that technically, a switch could be
considered a bridge, just wondering if then, that a router/switch would be
considered a brouter of sorts...
It would indeed divide segments(ports) into collision domains, if other hubs
were plugged into it's ports.
