Ok i can pretty much confirm that this is a bug in the final version (1.0 and 1.0.1). Ive done the same windows 2003 SP1 install with the same options but with nlite1.0rc6 In 1.0 and 1.0.1 windows networking will only work over netbios, which means you have to have netbios installed on all your windows computers in your workgroup. which is a bit pants since netbios sucks and is considered unsafe, plus is slows down tcp/ip and isnt as fast in network transfers In nlite1.0rc6 windows networking over tcp/ip works. Attached is my config from nlite1.0rc6, the previous post is the config with 1.0.1 Last_Session.ini
