| | Re: Vista/XP Networking Fustrations have become Vista/XP NetworkingHE Hi SId, When the ip-ping works stable, then the connections are OK. You may try the Ethereal to analyse the ethernet network traffic. Will Vista send or respond correct to Netbios packets? What send the Samba (in the Linux box) and XP to each? Compare the XP - Linux box communicaiton with the Vista - XP communication. I do not know if this is too much, but sometimes one have to go to deepest details to find the problem. Regards Pjerrot |
