VMWare and Lego NTX

[davebutleruk]

Am having issues with our Lego NXT Robots running via thin clients and XP - seems to have stopped recognising the devices.

Have tried new (latest) version of Mindstorms NTX Software 2.1

Thin Clients are Wyse V10L
Host is XP SP2 using Linked Clones
VMWare is v4

My next steps check firmware on robots and wyse devices

Would value any thoughts - and just to make it interesting the issue only affects some Robots / Thin Clients - which is pervse given I am cloning

You're on XP SP2 - the documentation refers to using 'the latest service packs'. Can you move to SP3?

Sorry fat fingers or old age

Should have ready XP Pro SP3

Up date:
robots and thin clients working well all week - but today thin clients refused to recognise the robots
VM Guest rebpooted overnight - wondering why usb would be so unreliable

Any thoughts as to where to look next?
