Internet Preferences?

Hi all,
I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway....
Can anyone tell me where Internet preferences are stored? I would like to copy from prefs from my 4.1.6 partition to my 4.1.FE partitition. I'm not looking forward to reinstalling Samba.
I suspect the answer will be "suck it up cupcake, and reinstall Samba", but I'll ask anyway...

I agree with your reticence to reinstall Samba. If it's any help, I have Samba (smbfs) in its own directory on my Progs: disk, where it lives. Whenever I make a new system disk, I simply copy over the contents of the DEVS:Internet/ drawer to the new target disk. With the User-Startup file and my favourite assigns as well, that's all I ever need to copy.

Yeah, first time I installed Samba I did something spectacularly wrong. I couldn't mount my network drive (a USB HDD attached to my modem), and when I fired up OWB there was a tremoundous amount of HD activity on my Amiga, and memory ran out very fast.
Went back the following week, and it all went swimmingly, no problems and the USB drive mounted perfectly.

Well, I've copied over Devs/Internet, and everything seems to be fine, I can mount the drive.
However, when I right click on the icon, I get an AmigaDOS requestor, "No disk present in device SMBFS0 Process: 93 "Context Menus". Retry / Cancel".
I click cancel and the context menu comes up fine. Otherwise, the drive works OK.
