MAX doesn't discover cFP-2120 under VISTA

Hi All!
   In a PC with Windows VISTA, MAX 4.3, with latest fieldPoint drivers (6.0) doesn't see cFP-2120 modules.
 
   I'm connecting to an unconfigurated module, and it is not seen from MAX. At the beginning of this test, I could connect to an already configured cFP-2120 module, which resides on the same subnet.  Now, I can't do that!
 
   Note that, in the same PC, I run a Virtual Machine with Windows XP, and older MAX 3.1.1, with this I can see both modules (separately, since I use crossed cable from PC to cFP).
 
   The Virtual Machine, when launched, run on the VISTA OS.
  
   I suspect that there's something I'm missing of VISTA network configuration, a packet filtering, or something like that.  I've seen many options in VISTA, for Ethernet adapter advanced properties....
 
   Of course, I've already turned off all firewall, antivirus, and antivirus' own firewall.
 
   The strange thing is that with this same PC, I configured a week ago a cFP-2120, but since I'm not the only one working with this laptop, maybe someone changed something.
 
   Any idea? Thanks!

I'm sorry for this post,
   I've found the bug!

   It was the Virtual Machine Ethernet adapter that gave problems: when I disable ethernet connections created by VMware (VMware Network adapter) it works again.

   Anyway, this behavior is only under VISTA, in Windows XP I have no problems with this.
