Re: Problem with NTBHB

Rolf,

An interesting setup with VMware there.  I hope that you are just using that
for testing, and will not be using that setup in production.

Your regedit entries don't mention the numCPU entry.  You may need to have
that entry in the registry.

Other than that everything looks to be setup ok.  It may be VMware causing
the problem because of it's "virtual ethernet" adapters.  The next thing you
should do is use a packet sniffer to verify if the NTBHB is broadcasting
stats on the wire.  You should also verify that from windows you can ping
your linux IP and from linux you can ping your windows IP.

Later
Rob
