Yes but there are no answers, forcing me to search other places,
I have manged to get connectivity at leased I think I do.

Let me explain, when the app gui based comes up you can see that it has
found connection because it list it in the title bar. next section lists
active databases of which none are listed.
So I think its because there is a domain and I am not logged in to gain
access to the shares. The database will ask for a password but so will
the network. The Question is how do you log into a domain with fc1?
