On the disks I've looked at in the past on NT, the read-only attribute
seems to be set. I don't know if this is always the case, however.

You can ignore this one. This is a bogus message. My SCSI and network
devices are sharing an IRQ, and the network card gets called first in
the chain. The network card prints this message since the network card
wasn't responsible for the IRQ. I had this turned off, but when I sent
Linus patches, I reenabled it so that some real problems for people not
sharing IRQs would still show up. I've been running for months, and this
has never caused any real problem.

No, no network problems. I've got two machines together on the 10Base2
ethernet, and I can ftp and scp between the two. Now, I also cannot
unmount the filesystem because it tells me it is busy.
