winxp kvm guest network issues with Access Database on Share

[Petrus4]

I have a windows xp pro kvm guest with e1000 networking (also tried virtio) accessing an MS ACCESS database stored on W2k3 physical server file share. I have also configured the recommended registry tweaks for networking as specified in the wiki.

When I access the database from a non virtual machine I have no connectivity issues, but when I access it from the winXp kvm guest I get network connectivity errors. Accessing other files (word docs, excel spreadsheets works fine)

Has anyone had problems like this and are there any resolutions?

tried the latest virtio drivers from here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=630830#c26 ?

but e1000 (using the latest intel drivers) should also work. last, try rtl8139.
