Vista RC1, networking and virus protection

[Guest]

We are testing Vista RC1 in our facility. After uninstalling PC-Cillin,
updating from the beta test to RC1, we can no longer get updates to
PC-Cilling. It tells us there is no internet connection. As well, we cannot
join RC1 to our network. It tells us no domain controller is available even
though we can network any XP machine with ease. I have seen this same issue
posted in many threads. What are you doing to resolve these issues as the
machine is now vulnerable to attack.

Thank you.

What sort of network card are you using?
Are all machines being tested using the same one?
Can you ping other systems from the RC1 installations?

There is a known issue with Marvell Yukon nic drivers in Vista should you be
using them, it may help to install XP drivers over the Vista ones.
