Yes. It all worked before on U 8.04.

/home/james/Documents 192.168.1.11(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
this is the correct IP address

It all worked well in kubuntu 8.04 but not in 10.04. There were several issues to
resolve in 10.04, but having to chown /home (to james from root) and all its files
to get sound to work does not seem connected (permissions in pulseaudio).
I am using ubuntu at the moment though I have the option for kde. I have difficulty
getting used to the changes in both of them.
