[opensuse] Communicating with Vista
I just got a new laptop with Vista preinstalled (I'm sure I'm hardly the only one). Apparently Vista has trouble communicating with Windows XP, and the XP solution is to install a protocol called LLTP. A Google search revealed that there's been some effort to make LLTP Linux-compatible, but the only information I could find about that was intended for developers. Has anyone here succeeded in establishing network visibility with Vista, in either or both directions?

Nope ! I wanted to share files between my old laptop (Win XP + Opensuse 10.2) and the new one (Vista (unfortunately)). I set up a direct connection between the 2 computers through wireless, and i never was able to see the other computer from either machines. I thought, I did something wrong (not an expert on wifi gadget and windows ;-)) but it might be that new vista "feature" ! I wil dig a little further when time will be available. Cheers.

I can see and use a Debian Samba server if that helps. Otherwise can't help I'm afraid. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I got one too, the first thing I did was insert my OpenSuSE 10.2 bootable dvd and wipe out vista completely (including the recovery partition). The best way to communicate with vista, DON'T. If I could have gotten the machine that I wanted with out windows preinstalled I would have not paid the ms tax completely. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I share files between Suse 10.2 (Samba) and Vista with no problem. In a working samba environment, just plugging in a Vista machine (with appropriate passwords of course) worked perfectly. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Hello, I have no problem in order to communicate between a Vista computer and a XP computer. Each computer see the other one and I'm able to create, copy delete files without any problem. I'll try to explain what I did, but as I'm french please excuse my poor english ! As I don't want to allow everybody (ie children) to share my files I don't use normal sharing in XP and instead I gave permissions on a user basis. If you do that and if you are logged on both computers with the same name and password, I'm able to see my files from XP, from Vista and from Linux. I just logged with my wife login and password, she can see my XP computer, but is not able to enter the shared folders and she doesn't see the Vista computer !! So do use user based sharings, and log with the same name and password. Hoping to have replied to the question.
