    Frequent cursor hourglass... why?

    For those who might be interested, the reason I was getting this hourglass was a defective CDROM drive. The behaviour became worse and worse, and I changed out *everything*!! before it finally became clear the CDROM was the culprit. Case closed. Cheers, Robyn

    Getting object with focus.

    This works unless the control is in a frame - ActiveControl will return the name of the frame, but not the control in the frame. How can I return the name of the control in that case? Cheers, Robyn

    Hi, quick question: does Outlook97

    What I find curious, tho, is that in Outlook Express all HTML email displays properly - from the same server. Leads me to think the problem might be with Outlook97 - especially since Outlook2000 (part of Office 2000) also displays HTML properly. All from the same ISP....

    Hi, quick question: does Outlook97

    Hi Paul666, Thanks for your reply. I think I phrased my question poorly. I was able to *send* email with stationery - *viewing* incoming email that is formatted as html is another matter. When I get email in HTML format, I see the text in plain format, and icons representing the html and...

    Total newbie frustated with SMTP mail and IIS

    Hi Gupone, Thanks for your response. I have found, in the meantime, that what I am trying to accomplish - having each person received her mail, and only her mail - was not possible within the parameters of our current situation. I have a small LAN, about 8 or so PCs, with a broadband (cable)...

    Hi, quick question: does Outlook97

    Hi, quick question: does Outlook97 (of Office97) support stationery for email? If not, are there any add-ons that will enable this? Cheers, Robyn

    Setting up SMTP

    In reading some of the other posts, I found a recommendation to issue a ipconfig at the command prompt. This revealed that the number I mentioned about is indeed the IP address of my ISP - it also revealed that there was a valid DNS suffix. My gateway computer does not have DHCP enabled, neither...

    Setting up SMTP

    In the IIS Manager -> Default SMTP server -> Properties dialog, on the 'General' tab, the recommended settings for IP address is (from the combobox) "All Unassigned" - the appropriate setting, I was told. In that combobox are two other possibilities, my PC's IP address: '192.168.0.1'...

    Total newbie frustated with SMTP mail and IIS

    Hi, Here's the background: I am somewhat of a novice at networking. We have a small home LAN, peer-to-peer, with most systems running Windows98se. We have a broadband connection using cable. We were using Allegrosurf proxy server to do ICS, but it had no mail handling capabilities to speak of -...

    Hardware or configuration issue?

    Yep, done that. I'm actually on the Asus site now - it seems others have had the same problem with this particular motherboard. Perhaps the techie there might be able to shed some light... TCP has file sharing set to RW, and a drive is shared on both systems. Do I need NetBeui? I understand it's...

    Hardware or configuration issue?

    Hi, Thanks to all who replied. File and print sharing were enabled (failed to mention that, didn't I?). I just hooked two systems together using a cross-over cable (thinking the hub might be bad), but while the older system can access the new system (Asus A7N266-VM with AMD Duron 1300 and...

    Bad hardware? how to check?

    Hi, I've just set up a Asus A7N226-VM with an AMD 1300 Duron to be a gateway to broadband internet via cable modem for our little home LAN (7 PCs). The Asus comes with an internal NIC which is giving me grief. Although Win98se Device Manager sees the adapter and the appropriate drivers are...

    Hardware or configuration issue?

    I've just loaded Win98se on an AMD 1300 / ASUS mb with onboard NIC. Installed the driver from the accompanying CD, and according to device manager, the NIC is working fine. Running TCP protocol only (no other protocols), properties of which are the usual: IP address 192.168.0.1 mask...

    Installing PWS error

    Hi, Would anyone know what this Illegal Operation message means when I try to install PWS on my AMD 1300 running Win98SE: SYSOCMGR caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff7bd7a. Registers: EAX=00000008 CS=0167 EIP=bff7bd7a EFLGS=00010246 EBX=00000100 SS=016f ESP=00fb0000...

    Frequent cursor hourglass... why?

    Hi MaineGeek, Thanks for your reply. Not to be contrary, but I have ZoneAlarm running on a a Pentium 350 / 128meg RAM system at home (acts as a internet gateway for the home network) also running Allegrosurf Proxy Server and WorkgroupMail Mail server - it doesn't seem to have these performance...

    Frequent cursor hourglass... why?

    Hi - I have a Pentium 650 with 120meg of RAM. It seems to be busy with some as-yet undisclosed activity - every 3 seconds the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass. When I look in the task manager (I think that's what it's called - Ctrl-Alt-Del brings it up) I see the following - read from bottom...

    Proxy server settings and mail distribution using OE

    Hi, I hope I'm in the right forum... purchased AllegroSurf Voyager - Network and installed it on a 6 user network. I wish to have my mail go only to my computer (which acts as the 'server') and my wife's mail go only to hers. I'm sure there must be a way to do this. Our internet provider is...

    Hi Nath, Just tried your suggestion - it seems to be working! Thanks so much - this problem has had me baffled for days... Kindest regards, Robin

    Values don't display in a form

    Hi, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I've kludged into a database - Excel is the only tool available to me at the moment where I work. For data entry I use a form with text controls. The control source for these controls is not set to anything. Data entered into these controls is saved to a row...
