I am using Windows 2000 Pro. I didn't see that error in the system's Event
Viewer. My problem was that I couldn't find the Rendezvous plug-in UI.
In time, I found it under the View / Explorer Bar / Rendezvous menu item.
After I located the Rendezvous side-bar in IE, I am able to see and browse
to my Mac's ftp and web server, which is very cool.
