    User and application rights

    Rookcr, It's a fact: Your users will need "local" admin rights, (in some cases - Power User), to install some software for their use. Either install the software while logged on as the local Administrator, or use the "Run As" command to do so logged on as the user. Some...

    Encrypting File System (EFS)

    gbl, I haven't read the article you pointed out, but I will share my own thoughts: Because you MUST use NTFS in order to use the EFS, you're already more secure than most laptops that don't opt for NTFS. Assigning NTFS level permissions to data on a laptop for instance, means that if the...

    question about networking

    PAUL79, It's just a hunch - You may want to check with your ISP, to find out if they are using "DHCP" to assign your NAT router's address. Because you mentioned 3 days, (the default length of time most Windows NT DHCP Servers assign leased addresses for), I suspect this might be the...

    XP Network won't work anymore

    Dirk, Ok! Two things: 1.) Let's ensure that on both the Windows 98, and XP machines, we check to see if the NIC's, (Network Interface Controllers), are being "put to sleep" by the power management console: a.) From Device Manager, right click the NIC, and choose...

    Dirk, Ok, great! It sounds like we're on the right track...now: 1.) 192.168.0.1, is a "Class C" address, so your "Subnet Mask should be: 255.255.255.0 ...in order to use the "default" for that network. Let's make sure that each PC that participates in your Network...
