V for Vista (and virtual machines)

[Joe Black]

Have just got round to installing Vista RC1, and unfortunately seem to have a problem which I've been unable to google my way out of. Namely I can't get any sort of networking to work.

On a VPC install, bridging doesn't work and reports an IP conflict then freezes (at 100% cpu). NAT on the other hand just freezes (at 100% CPU) the moment it's enabled.

The VMWare option at least keeps running, but no matter what setting still doesn't find a network. And yet I have no prob's with any of the same settings for a W2K3 installation.

Any ideas?

I had problem with getting networking to work under VMWare using Linux - I came to conclusion that NAT should be used by default, and in my case Kerio Firewall was sneakily forbidding access despite having that IP allowed - they have an option for extra analysis that I switched off, after that I got it to work.

Rule no. 1: don't mess around with beta software.

Should have known I was tempting fate with the title of the thread.


Edit:

Fixed it. For those interested the solution was simple...turn off all the new 'access control' stuff and allow anything and everything to run as Administrator.
