Hi...
I know it's really bad form to reply to one's own email... -- but, having
spent the last 90 minutes trying out various things, I can report the
following:
* A clean install (after uninstalling) of 5.3.0b1 works fine (once all my
settings/preferences have been re-entered) until I reboot... -- I then
get the same symptoms as below.
* A clean install of 5.2.1 will 'survive' rebooting the XP box; and seems
to work fine with firmware 31.
* However, if I try to install 5.2.1 without uninstalling 5.3.0b1, then I
get exactly the same symptoms as below again....
Therefore, I'm now running SlimServer 5.2.1, with firmware 31 on both SBs;
and all is hunky-dory!
HTH someone...
