Anything to do with LANs is just a minefield waiting to happen. The only real advantage to LANs is that they are incredibly fast compared to USB.?? With 1,000,000 files to sort through, it seems the right way to go. Tina uses LR sort features to find a photo she is looking for.? Any speed improvement is a good thing.
