    disagreeable, argumentative user

    We have some software which connects with our security system. It monitors who has entered each and every door with a key card. It also locks and unlocks our front door. The software runs on a Windows 2003 server and uses very little resources. "Ruby" unlocks the door at 8am and locks it at...

    nmblookup fails

    I'm on a network with a mix of Windows and Linux machines. I have a server running Fedora Core 8. It is running BackupPC and can't find other machines on the network. The server needs to be able to run nmblookups successfully for every machine. I have even added the machines to the server's...

    finding an access point

    I took over a job as the network administrator for a small company. The previous admin didn't leave a lot of documentation. He left a lot of messes to clean up, too. We have several access points here. I can't find one. It is definitely working. I don't know where it is. Is there a way to find it?

    should I go to the summer party?

    Back in March, I signed up for a training course (non-technical) that is spread out over four weekends. The last of those weekends is 14-15 June. I took my current job at about the same time. Our CEO is an okay guy. The team is pretty decent. Everyone is pretty positive and supportive. The CEO...

    external hard drives

    I'm looking for an external hard drive or array. I would like to connect it to a Linux via Firewire or eSATA. It seems that some of these only want to work with Windows or Macs. What ones work with Linux? We are looking at 2 TB or 3 TB--the size doesn't leave us with many options.

    user loses desktop photo

    Every once in a while, a user loses the picture that is on his desktop. It's a picture he took. Then he restores it in his settings, and it comes back. I have run two virus scanners and have found nothing. I also updated Windows. He gets all his work done. I still wonder if this indicates...

    blocking Internet radio

    I have discovered a couple users in the office listening to Internet radio. We have a Linksys RV082 router/firewall. Obviously, we can't have everyone using the bandwidth this way. What is the best way to block this Internet radio? Is there a port I can block? So far, the only solution seems to...

    convincing users to buy laser printers

    I imagine I don't have to convince anyone here. But in the office, I still find it difficult to convince users to buy laser printers, instead of inkjets. Last week, I sent a little sheet to a user. I showed her how many pages she would get per inkjet cartridge and how many pages she would get...

    I want a window

    I'm only on my fourth day on a new job. I like a lot of things about it. However, I do have one small complaint. I am the only person who does not have a window looking outside. There are a few vacant offices. Some are pretty close to the server room. My particular office is very close to it...

    spell check works some of the time in Word 2003

    We've got a user whose spellcheck only works some of the time. It seems that it does not work when he has boxes in his documents. When there are no boxes, his spellcheck works fine. He has Word 2003 on Windows XP.

    I am copying databases from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have tried using the Copy Database Wizard many times. It fails on the "Execute SQL job agent." I have tried it over 20 times. Event Viewer keeps giving a 12550 error. Here is what appeared in event viewer. It's pretty long: Event Type...
