    Absolute hogwash from either a troll or someone who is completely
uninformed, whose experience could be a repetition 15 years of introductory
networking.
    The hotfix addresses an issue with Windows and SAMBA - in case you
didn't know, normally SAMBA runs on an *ix flavored machine to enable file
sharing (versus using an NFS mount point) similar to Windows File Sharing.
    So with all your technical knowledge, explain to me how a fix dealing
with SAMBA has broken your puny XP Pro/XP Home network, where SAMBA is not
involved? Or are you file sharing with GNU's latest version of SAMBA on your
XP Pro/XP Home systems? If so then there was a Patch release by the Open
Source groups to fix the "same" issue.
