Copying file from windows 7 to server 2008 stalls with Symantec Endpoint Protection v11 build 6100 installed

Problem: Copying file from windows 7 to server 2008 stalls with Symantec Endpoint Protection v11 build 6100 installed

Solution: This is a known bug with all Symantec Endpoint Protection clients v11 before build 6300 using SMB 2.0 protocol to transfer files.  This affects Vista and Windows 7 operating systems only.

It's noted in this Knowledge base article;

The solution is to update to build 6300 or newer.

Intel PCI 100 network card, no driver for Windows 7

We were trying to install a Pro 100 pci nic into an older Windows 7 machine without any luck.  All sources say the nic is compatible and should work with "in the box" drivers.  That wasn't the case.

The solution;
Grab the inf file here or google "netefe32.inf"
In device manager, browse for the driver file but tell windows you want to choose the device yourself.  Select the Intel Pro 100 driver and it works like a charm.

Filemaker 8 or 9 can't see remote hosts on windows 7

Two of the files that are installed by default by Filemaker 8 or 9 are not compatible with Windows 7.  This prevents you from browsing remote hosts.  Although local files still open.  The solution is to download the Filemaker 11 (or newer) trial, install it and in the main programs directory copy out the server.pem and root.pem files.  Overwrite these two files in your older installation of Filemaker.

Restart Filemaker and you'll have access to your remote hosts again!
