"USB on Windows NT."

Hi

Is there any way of getting round the "no USB on WinNT" at all?

Ta, reaper. Not needed though, the supportguys are putting win2000 on for me.

Cheers all.

Oh, and to answer the original point, there's a product you can buy for $70 or so to enable usb support in nt4...

Not really worth it though, in my opinion..

Yeah, debian has usb kernel support as standard on the driverX.bin install disks. Redhat doesn't actually have a 7.2 kernel yet...and if you only want the thing as a firewall, try OpenBSD/NetBSD. Obsd has the best record of any o/s that I'm aware, over 3 years without a security hole.

I use Mandrake 7.2 and USB supposrt is perfect. I use a USB optical mouse every day. Try upgrading to at least a 7.2 kernel.

I'm almost certain I've read people have USB working under Linux. Don't remember which version though.

Anyone know how to use usb on Linux (red hat 6.2). I am getting ADSL soon and want to use a linux box as a firewall/nat server. I heard it was possible but carn't find any info on the web.

Install Windows 2000 Professional - from experience its better all round. Just don't use IIS!
