In case you cannot modify that part, maybe talking to Microsoft Tech Support directly about this issue will help? Good luck!

I happened only after I replaced my LINUX gateway (acting as a firewall) with a Juniper SRX firewall. My windows 2008 server where my altering software is running suddenly started returning host unreachable instead of request times out. My Vista laptop started the same behavior. It only happens when pinging down or non-existant hosts/IPs on the same subnet as the server. If I ping a down host or non-existant IP on a remote subnet I get the correct response (request timed out). Have you had any luck figuring out your problem?

It's also not complete. :( but I once used it to sync up the ratings and play counts between two different iTunes libraries - one on my mac mini on 10.5, the other one on a Windows PC running XP. Can you just get a copy svn and do with it what you want? ;) frankly I don’t know how.

It doesn't happen to my Windows clients when I ping from my Server 2008 box. Still looking for a solution, because it doesn't allow me to map drives to my W2k8 box from my Linux machines.

That is, if you still listen to iTunes. I spend more time listening to Spotify, and hence became a user of Airfoil in order to stream it to all rooms!

If it works for you, have you gotten it to work with WPA[2]? Did you have to use an NDIS wrapper? What I’m curious about is the wireless. If it works for you, have you gotten it to work with WPA[2]?

Were you able to get wifi, power management, bluetooth, and most other basics working? Also I have a 100GB HDD in my Thinkpad, and want to dual boot with Windows XP, and I'm curious how you did your partitioning or what you'd recommend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Best, David Hi Kai,
