Hiyah Lads,

I 'm a newbie here, and i 'm gonna but into this $0.02 talk about XP SP2RC1. I installed it yesterday and I am running adaware... no problem... (ADP6 build 181). Only friggin problem i have with the thing is that it doesnt recognise my FSecure AV, tho it is the most recent version (5.4) with signature files that get updated every bloody day...

I would love to try to sliptream SP2RC1 in one cd with XP. it it werent i dont have one single disc with a flawless copy of the darned thing anymore...

Chris

Welcome, Maverickloup!

From what I have seen and heard, this wonderful "beta service pack" doesnt recognize most AV programs..
Hopefully, once an actual "release" is made by M$, that bug will be gone...

I slipped it with XP Pro without SP1 and everything works fine. To my understanding, SP2 contains all the hotfixes as SP1.

Is anyone having networking problems with SP2 RC1?

Yes, SP2 does contain all the fixes in SP1.
I didn't have any networking problems with RC1. Windows Firewall was smart enough give access to all my networking settings.

Welcome restless311 to BetaONE. :)

Thanks. I am having a horrible time with the networking since SP2 build 2082. I didn't have any problems with build 2055. Even after a new install on my computers, I still have problem. When I restart the host computer the setting change and the network is down. Windows firewall protection is enabled for the internet and disabled for the network. That is the only way I can get it to work. Any suggestions?
