Stephen, I am currently running PAR (1.27b) along with Lantastic 6.0 and don't have any problems reading network drives from the PAR software. You have to be sure to load your network software *BEFORE* (yes, before) you run the PAR drivers. Oh, and set up the PAR as an "OTHER" network drive in your Lantastic Resources. The network access capabilities of this drive should be "RWC-L——-". I've even had limited success allowing slave machines reading the PAR drive for rotoscoping. You can install your PAR as a network drive. The problem I was having was that while the slave machines are reading the PAR, the machine where the PAR was installed would have some sort of "lockup". I couldn't do any work with the machine where PAR was installed, but the slave machines could continue to read the PAR…..kinda weird. I read another message here indicating that the PAR software is not multitasking and so wouldn't work with multiple machines reading it. This may be so…..and my experiment mentioned above may have worked just by fluke, that none of the slaves attempted to read PAR at the same time. Later, -Jeff
