Here, RPCEmu 0.8.9/RO 4.39 and RPCEmu 0.8.9/RO 5.19 run on the same Vista host, but not at the same time. Each connects to the same bridge (which survives a Vista re-boot). Both versions can access the internet, and can share files with the RiscPC, on the same network, using ShareFS. I can see no difference between 4.39 and 5.19, in regard to networking. However, within the last few days, I've discovered a problem with a newly acquired copy of LanMan98. I can copy files from the Vista C drive to the RiscPC, but not vice-versa (time-out and the file left open). For now, I'm assuming that there is some elusive write-permission which needs to be set in Vista - and hoping that it is not a symptom of any general problem, as described by Dave. Does anyone know of any compatibility issues relating to RPCEmu and LanMan98?
