- According to System Errors 7.0.1 (a wonderful thing), error -5016 is
- called afpNoServer and is produced when the AFP/XPP driver can't
- find the server, so you're probably safe in saying "Can't find that
- server, bozo" because one could be connected to a network and still
- get that error code.
