Re: [Pearpc-devel] Ncutil bus error

[Derek E. S. <der...@gm...>]

Darren, I'm on an Active Directory domain (Windows Server 2003 servers
and Windows XP Pro clients) running PearPC and connecting it to the
net using that very same networking tutorial that you linked to, and
it works perfectly. If you follow the tutorial, there's no reason it
won't work for you on your work computer.
