Sorry I forgot to mention that this is exactly what I was doing in
windows just unplug and plug the adapter and the network comes back but I
experienced it stopps again and this is what I mean it stops periodically.
I will investigate more.
Thank you, Rachid

This could be a simple matter of firmware for the USB wireless adapters.
Have you tried removing the USB adapters for a few seconds after linux has
been shutdown, then booting windows? You could also unplug them while
windows is running and then replug to load windows' copy of the firmware.
I've had adapters that refuse to work between the 2 OSes because of
mismatched driver/firmware combinations without removing power from the
adapter. I imagine there is some flag or device ID change that occurs once
the firmware is properly loaded, causing subsequent loads to be ignored.
I've seen this with JTAG programmers as well. You may be experiencing this,
only in a more subtle manner.

also stopping priodically. Before installing linux as double boot I
shrinked the NTFS parttion to free space for linux so ....
The wireless source is in a linux box running linux enterprize.

Justly I just arrived at a Lab that has many wondows boxes and I need
linux for my work so I installed SL Linux 5.5 as double boot with VISTA
and in all machines with double boot windows-linux the network is lost
periodically. All the PCs have USB wireless probe. I am new in the Lab but
at the time I am writing this email i did not check yet the wrieless

Hello,
I have a problem with the (exported) sharing of network resources.
Initially i've used a sever with RedHat 7.3 kernel 2.4 now i've installed
Scientific Linux 5.5 with kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5PAE with Samba
version 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1.
The problem is that I lose the network connection periodically, about 10
minutes!
I initially thought the problem was caused by a misconfiguration of samba
version of sl, that I installed on a client machine with windows 2000 the
"Microsoft Windows for Unix" in order to use nfs connection exported from
linux server, but the problema arise equally.
It's a serious problem for me because the disconnection of a mapped drive
on w2k (connected via smb or nfs) is causing the crash of a basic
application that tries to detect the presence every second of a new file
in shared resource.
This problem was not present with the older version of linux !!!
Thanks in advance for your help.
