[AG-DEV] Unicast bridge enable bug for windows!

[Jason Bell]

Nikkos

Apologies - as I didn't think to search for existing bug reports.

Tom - have you had a look at this report - will these changes affect Mac or Linux - as they seem to work fine.  I am wondering if we can provide a patch for others to apply / fix?

Are there many updates fixes, should we do a new bundle rollout?

Many thanks,
Jason.

    I've already submitted a bug report and solution for this awhile back. Look at the following page for the actual fix:

Normally you would (this works for Mac and Linux) open up Tools ->  Preferences ->  Bridging, select a bridge, right click on the "disable" text and select enable.  This doesn't work on either Windows XP or Windows 7.
