It gets network from Core over ethernet crossover cable. I just got a new USB wifi for Core, since whether any given wifi hardware will work with Linux/Ubuntu is the matter of flipping a frakking coin. The old one that will work with the Mac doesn't do anything but open WEP. I can't for sure say it's Vista's fault, since changing the router security seems to be the trigger - either machine may not be dealing with it appropriately (and given Ubuntu's apparent hideous history of dealing with router security I found searching the forums, I'd look at it first.) But it could be settings on the router and not either machine. From: Jonathan Bartels <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [fwlug] And for a new puzzle > > What router do you have?

I THINK it shouldn't have any LAN firewall action going on, but I can look again and try to make sure.
