Most excellent. I was able to browse, and access some files, but for some reason
I was not able to browse large folders.
(Eg I could browse \\computer\a and \\computer\a\c\d, and access \\computer\a\c\d\file.zzz,
but I couldn't list the contents of the large directory \\computer\a\c)
This appears to be the crucial step in fixing the problem (changing my hybrid node
to mixed)
