Hi All This is a really silly problem.
It's in the old-old archive: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive-old/msg00406.html http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive-old/msg00411.html The final secret was: Only start Linux AFTER the Win98 machine has got passed the logon dialog. Linux sets up the eth0 protocols BEFORE loading the shell or allowing logon. Windows waits until the shell is loaded before loading the network drivers. Hence, if, like me, you start both machines at the same time, despite starting Linux on a dual boot slower machine, it looks for the eth0 about 20 seconds before the Windows box has created the sockets at the other end!! Another way around this is if the machines are already running, simply restart the linux network scripts. /etc/init.d/network restart (may be slightly different on different distros). -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.dcglug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
