    Full Hard Drive - what is taking up my space?

    All of your windows updates will have uninstall folders in the windows directory and that will eat up drive space. How much RAM do you have? your windows swap file will eat up drive space like no tomorrow. Also, if you have hibernation enabled, that will chew up at least as much drive space...

    Windows Firewall / IIS / Network users

    any time you open a port, you have some amount of risk, however, if you don't open the ports needed to work, you just have yourself a boat anchor. If you have your car encased in concrete, nobody will be able to break in to steal your radio, but it has no purpose if you can't drive it. You're...

    Communicating Between 2 Computers

    Well, I'm still having a little trouble visualizing exactly what your setup is, but I think that if you set the netmask on both computers to 255.0.0.0, they will talk to each other. With the netmask on the router set to 255.255.255.0, it will communicate with computer B, but will see computer...

    Problems accessing Internet/LAN

    I'm going to guess that everything is doing exactly what it is configured to do. If you set the dns to your internet router, you will resolve public internet addresses, and will not resolve internal lookups and vice-versa. You need to configure your internal DNS server to communicate with your...

    activate a service from a desktop shortcut?

    I love PS tools, but you can simply create a new shortcut and in the location field type net start "my net service" or net start myNetService using quotes for service names with spaces.

    Windows XP Unattended Installs

    I'm confused here. That site is in English where I'm sitting, were you looking for a different translation?

    Lost profile/New profile

    I've seen odd behavior like that when a temp internet file has an excessively long name. The problem is that the file name and directory path exceed 254 charachters. Also, check your application event log. This may be unrelated, but look for an error with ID 1000 and something about unloading...

    Communicating Between 2 Computers

    Lander215 raises a good point 10.231.0.4 is the exit for all things not 10.231. In other words to get to anything on the internet, or anything on the 10.0 network, all traffic will be directed to 10.231.0.4.

    Cannot Connect to Remote Registry

    Also, VNC and other remote control programs have value, and I use and love them, but if you have security on the network, a standard user cannot write to the registry, this means that the standard user has to log out so I can log in as admin and edit the registry - or I can do my work without...

    Communicating Between 2 Computers

    No, your netmask would have to be 255.0.0.0 becuase _only_ the first octets share a common value. using 255.255.0.0 means your network address changes from 10.0.0 to 10.0. Removing the second octet would set your netwok number at 10, the remaining octets are now host addresses on the "10"...

    Losing Network Connectivity After Reboot

    IPconfig won't do anything if there is no physical connection. You can't establish layer 3(IP)connectivity if you havn't established layer 1(Physical) connectivity. If you have name-brand computers, you should be able to find system & NIC diagnostics programs. How the computers are hanging...

    Cannot Connect to Remote Registry

    You may need to authenticate to the remote computer via resource sharing before you can access it's registry. I always log into my local machine rather than the domain and I won't automatically authenticate to other computers because my login is not a local admin account on other computers...

    Communicating Between 2 Computers

    Yikes! I would be surpised if computer a can see the router at all, considering it is on a completly different subnet. The easiest way would be to set a second IP address and multihome computer a. In order to set a static route, you need a routing device that will accomodate static routes...
