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. </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]> </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]>Michael,</[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]> </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]>Just a shot in the dark here but if I recall correctly when you connect to a network in Vista it ask to define what "type" of network it is. I believe the options are public, home and office maybe. Anyways I think that the security setting in vista such as firewall rules and sharing security are defined by these roles and by each network. When you change the wireless security on your router vista thinks it is seeing a "new" network and has probably defaulted the network to the "secure" public option. If you can find the network connections in the control panel try associating the WPA version of you wireless network as a trusted home network. Disclaimer: I don't use Vista personally or professionally on a regular basis but have been called in to fix Vista issues before.</[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]> </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]>Good Luck,</[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> <[email protected]><[email protected]><[email protected]>Ben </[email protected]></[email protected]></[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org
