Thanks J!
I tried the 106167 fix, but no change. Then I tried the net config change
on both systems, but that made no change either.
Which PC was it supposed to be on, XP or Vista?
I'll try the tcpip.sys mod tonight and let you know. Microsoft themselves
haven't tried either of those two options.
Is the tcpip.sys mod on the XP (source) or Vista (destination)?
Thanks,
R
