It has a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard which I have managed to get everything working except the NIC. It is listed as having a Realtek RTL8111B chip. I have a simlar NIC chip on my MB - the Realtek 811C which PCI.EXE reports as 10EC: 8168. I believe your chip will be the same ID number. I have no problems using Realtek RTL8169 MAC driver on my MB.

I want to access the printers on the Windows machine by creating a connection from the ECS Machine. I have done this with XP with no problem, but in Vista something has been changed. I can connect from Windows to ECS and read drives on the ECS Machine, so I know that the connection exists, but when I try to connect to the Vista machine, ECS gives me a SYS0005 message - Access Denied. Anybody who can help I would really appreciate it it.

However, I saw this same issue when trying to connect a friend's machine to a NAS. I finally found an option in Vista that needed to be enabled, but I can't remember where it was. -- Chuck McKinnis Sandia Park, NM http://www.7cities dot net/~mckinnis/ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

And less of a fan every time I see it. A windows "Expert" has simply told me that Microsoft droped OS/2 extensions with Vista No hint of a work around. The option in Vista that required enabling, Can you recall if that was "LAN Manager Authentication Level" Ring a bell?

Got all the drivers from ibm dot com, I was after the actual recovery disk that includes XP so I can wipe the HD and load OS/2 on it. That way it saves me cloning the disk to another one What I might do anyway is buy an 80G 2.5" IDE HD while they are still available and take the original HD out of the R40 and put it away for safe keeping, I got this R40 with no resore partition on it, and no CD's. At least that way it keeps a copy of the IBM utilitities etc. >I'll start looking now. :-) Only if its not time consuming, and not to much trouble. Thanks :-) >P.S.
