    Data become corrupt

    We've done that palmstrike. However, anymore experience from others related to corruption in desktop databases would be great.

    Data become corrupt

    That's a real possibility...it is a desktop database. The software is WinQuery - not a common program anyone around here would know much, if anything about. We program the software and see this issue arise every now and then. 100% of the past issues were resolved via network changes or...

    Data become corrupt

    I have a perplexing problem with several customers that I am unable to resolve. They are set up on NT 4 SP6a servers with NT Workstation SP6a clients. Data becomes corrupt sporadically. They insist NIC cards, cabling and all other suggestions have checked out. I know that desktop databases...

    Firebox freezes and must be rebooted!

    Hello, I have a Firebox 1000 and Firebox II. I have the exact same issue and am not able to log because if I do, it knocks the firebox out so that I am not able to connect to it. The only solution I have ever found is flashing the box back to factory settings and starting over from scratch...

    Network Card Help

    Workstations on a network will ping each other irregardless of failure of any other computer. If your server has a bad NIC card, the workstations will still ping each other - just not the server. When you can't ping, you always have a TCP/IP error. Everyone must be in the same class/subnet...

    Does Nt4 Workstation have disk mirroring utility

    not in workstation - would have to get a 3rd party app.

    V5 any good

    I have been using it since its release and have no problems and am very impressed with the improvements.

    Outsource or in-house development?

    As a "techie" with 20 years experience in networking and programming, I find that using consultants is a total waste of time and money. When I contracted out a Frame Relay project, my RFC made specific statements about what was to be done. I didn't want to get phone calls at 3AM...

    import address book ?

    To import into Outlook Express, you need to have your address book in a comma delimited text file (*.csv). Under File...export...address book...choose text file. On the new Outlook Express... File...Import...Other Address Book On the Outlook...if you have a network, set up Outlook to save a...

    Explorer error

    I have had this problem on many ME computers in my office and have never been able to pinpoint the exact cause. I am not an advocate of troubleshooting memory errors anyways so typically format and start over. My reasoning is that it is cheaper to spend an hour setting things back up rather...

    autoexec batch file

    Sorry Dave...W2K doesn't require a batch file at all and it is created by some program you installed. Here is a copy of mine although it won't do you any good! @ECHO OFF C:\MSDOS7\attrib.exe -h -s C:\MSDOS7 PATH=c:\;c:\j2sdk1.4.0;c:\java ECHO You are using automatically generated configuration...

    NT server batch file

    Is it just that V: drive that gets the error? If so, is he mapped properly for it? You can only map to the root in Win95/98/ME/NT

    NT4 WKST / IE5 / Office 2k install errorotep

    Sounds to me like it is a bad install from Dell. The first thing I would do is format and reinstall everything. If the problem persists, I would start looking at hardware issues or getting those suckers returned and purchasing some quality systems with Intel motherboards and processors.

    home page

    If this is a business, I would question why this user is going to porn sites. These pages don't get set by themselves magically...they self-impose a home page after someone visits a porn site. To change this, when you log into a profile with that home page, just browse on the net to the site...

    stand alone server to BDC

    I wouldn't use those programs...I've heard lots of horror stories and they ended up reinstalling anyway. Why do you want a BDC in a single server environment? That confuses me!

    Norton on NT

    In my opinion Norton is about the worst program you can install on anything. Why not go with a professional program like InoculatIt. If you read posts here, you will see various accounts of system failures which magically disappear after removing Norton from the equation. When I started at...

    is pws as targeted to virus as IIS?

    I don't know for sure if it is as prone...but PWS is just a cut down version of IIS so I would assume it is. PWS allows you to host (I think) 3 websites and and limits the number of connections (I think it is limited to 100...but that's not much...each jpeg, each text page is 1 connection/item...

    Windows 2000 SP-2 Issues

    go into disk management in Computer Management...Start...settings...control panel...administrative tools...Computer Managerment...Disk Management. Can you see the drive there? It will show as Disk 1 (hard drives are number 0-4 with 0 being the first drive) If not, there may be an issue with the...

    Windows NT Network Login Failure

    oops...sorry also, you may be restricted to just one workstation. Log out of everything and try logging into the questionable machine. If you log in successfully, you are restricted to a single machine

    Windows NT Network Login Failure

    You may not have permission to access that particular workstation. check your user account on the server and make sure you have rights to log into other machines
