I got my N800 for xmas, but have been browsing the site for the last year or so. I havn't felt the need to post until now as all the queations I had were already answered on the site, but this has me well & truly stumped.

I've just re-installed OS2008 onto the tablet after un-installing a program sent it into an endless reboot loop. Here's the programs I had installed before I noticed anything unusual..

vagalume
vc-epg-widget
osso-accounts-plugin-idle
videocenter-plugins
load-applet
publishr-maemo
maemo-wordpy
videocenter-ci-plugins-base
imagemagick
fbreader
maemo-mapper
rtcomm-beta-installer
libzlibrary
videocenter
isearch-edit
rtcom-beta-os2008
account-plugin-haze
wget
ogg-support
osso-accounts-plugin-salut
rsync
tuxpaint
telepathy-idle
camera
libhttrack1
telepathy-haze
libhunspell-1.1-0
transmission
openssh-client
gizmo-project
mplayer
maemo-ftp
abiword
webhttrack
libbz2-1.0
grsync
fmradio
telepathy-salut
maemoscrobbler
libenchant1c2a
osso-xterm

As you can see, nothing too network specific except maybe rtcom-beta-os2008 and the usual stuff.

I then installed isearch-edit to try & add desktop searches for different sites and made a new search for ISOhunt. After clicking on the button to choose the icon to use for the new link, the file manager came up and I was surprised to find my Linux home server (Ubuntu Dapper) and my WinXP games machines shares listed beneath my bluetooth link.

I did a quick test and found that I could indeed browse my WinXP shared folder. Unfortunately I got a little too excited and shut the program down to see if it would work a second time or if it was just a fluke.
I know.. I should have taken a screen shot and try to copy a file over etc. but you know how it is when you hit on something completely unexpected like this.

Anybody else come across this type of behaviour before or know if Nokia's slipping in some network support for the next firmware update?

Anyway.. I'm off to see if I can duplicate this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
