Spooky Network Problem........

[Skywatch]

Hi,

Thanks for posting that.

I have updated my profile as both pi's are now wired. Both pi;s were running 1b1.1.

Seems that *something* happens on the pi that stops win7 explorer seeing network devices whilst retaining the ability to ping them and http into them. All devices go to a patch and then to gigabit switches.

The solution is always to find the offending pi, and reboot or remove the network rj45 plug. Then the laptop can suddenly see everything in explorer again.

I have searched and searched on this but not yet found any definitive info on it. I'll see on the pi forums if any one else is having this happen.

Cheers again...
