I would think restarting samba would fix that too. Windows workgroup networking can be a little weird though.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Came on the box. I need a Windows OS for work to maintain compatibility with things up to and including Remote Desktop.
Ugh. I feel your pain. I've been doing work as the part-time computer technician at Moonlit's school. It's mostly low-end stuff and the computers are all currently using XP Pro and Server 2003 but administration staff have just got new computers and they'll be running Vista Business Basic. The specialist technician has to set them up but I'll be the one who has to help them with the day-to-day running of the computers. Considering they still have trouble using XP, I'm not looking forward to them and Vista.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked Windows 2000 and made peace with XP. I have a blistering hate-on for Vista. I feel like it's getting in the way of what I have to do, instead of facilitating it, or even making it pleasant.

Hell yeah. My mate doesn't seem to mind it but I feel very much the way you do. In many ways, a task that was simple in XP, has now become a pain in Vista, and for no apparent good reason.

This is quite possibly the most inane question I have ever asked in here. Is there a widget I could install (on either site) that will synch my Facebook status and Twitter feed? (I know there's a Twitter app for Facebook, but that just puts a Twitter box in my profile, it doesn't update my status.)
Because, you know, there are so many people missing out on what I'm doing right now!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Use Twitter to update FB status: [link]

(disclaimer: haven't used either one, as don't use facebook (gasp!!) -- but the goog was kind enough to cough up one for each direction first thing)

Awesome, I'll check those out. There's an app on FB called (conveniently enough) Twittersync, but Twitter's server issues have currently rendered it not working.

No idea if those will work any better, since the near-hosed state of twitter seems to be affecting a lot of their API services, but they should at least be worth a try?
