On Dec. 23rd I upgraded from 0.8 to 1.0 and the next day, all 3 of my pcs took 10 minutes to get past the logon screen. Downgrading didn't solve the problem. Trouble shooting shows there's a problem with the nic and acquiring TCP setting. No other upgrades were done and I tested with Kaspersky AV off. I was able to restore to backups from the day before the upgrade and everything is working fine. I have an Acer easystore WHS pp3, a 7yr compaq laptop running a WinXP Home, an 3yr HP core2duo running WinXP Pro and a home built core2quad running WinXP Pro.

However, am now using an ECS Motherboardfor my home made server and it will suspend from a client, but no response from a WOL or any calendar events. I suspect this to be a hardware issue on my part and will be paying for it it's cool. I have liked it since day one.

Sorry that you made that bad experience. But you address the wrong software here. Microsoft fixed the Sb core issue with PP1 but never created a Windows Update package for existing users. The fix is only included in DVD media. All users running OEM systems with a preinstalled PP1 (or later) do not have that issue. Furthermore there's now a second way of disabling SB core which does not require editing the registry. Tim, I understand your frustration. Sorry that you made that bad experience.

After following the SMB Core guide my EX470 never saw the light of day again. It got so bad that the data could not be restored after running the HP restore DVD and I had to go out and buy 4 more terabytes worth of HDs + an external USB HD case in order to file-copy out everything from the server... STRONG warning here for anyone considering this add-in, unless you don't have like 20 years of family photos, movies and other personal stuff stored on your drives that you want to keep.

It's really a matured add-in and in my opinion a must for those who would like to save some electricity. I was a beta tester too, and I can insure you it's really worth getting a license!
