That URL seems to be your LAN address ...

If I use those options and mount my NTFS partition in a terminal with

mount /dev/sda1

I get an error message "wrong fs type, bad option, ...". And the error 
message is the same if I use the command with root privilege. If I don't 
use the blksize=4096 option I can mount the partition - even as a normal 
user.

Those options don't work here either, same problem.

I can also see the missing user option for the ro partitions, but that's 
not the problem. However I don't know why you can mount the ro 
partitions with the blksize option. Maybe it is a difference between our 
systems. I have Jaunty with ntfs-3g installed.
