    Check the sharing properties for the shared directory on a server, specifically the Permissions (right-click on the directory, select Sharing, then Permissions) - which user IDs have shared access and what's the access level.<br><br>Regards!

    Windows NT Hardrive Format Over 4 GB

    Formatted under FAT16 drives cannot be larger than 4Gb. The problem is that during NT install even if you decide to use NTFS the setup will pre-format drive w/FAT and then convert it to NTFS - thus you can't get past 4Gb during system install.<br><br>After the system is installed you can extend...

    Problem starting the Server service

    IRPStackSize parameter stands for Input/Output Request Packet Stack Size and related to something on the level of communication between device drivers and I/O Manager part of Windows NT kernel - I'm sure a Win32 programmer can give you a better understanding of that.<br><br>The issue here is...

    AOL and other ISP on same computer

    I believe the number of modified files by AOL installation on Win95 system is around 250(!) I agree that the easiest solution is to blow away the AOL Dial-UP Adapter from Network applet of Control Panel after uninstalling AOL through Add/Remove Programs - and never touch it again!<br><br>Regards!

    NT Workstation 4.0 can't see Domain

    Try removing WINS address from NTWkstn network settings and try to login to the domain - it should be able to pick it up through broadcast. Also - see if you can ping the ip address of WINS server and domain's FQDN (i.e. - pdc1.mydomain.com).<br><br>Regards!

    Why does it take forever to log in?

    As a conclusion, when you create hardware profiles you can go into settings of any service and set it to be enabled or disabled in any of the profiles.<br><br>Regards!

    Applying Service Pack

    I have been applying the changes on a server, then SP, then rebooting alltogether - in most cases that's enough. However, keep in mind the following: when you're talking about the &quot;changes&quot; - some of them will not complete until you reboot.<br><br>Now, here's&nbsp;&nbsp;the issue -...

    NT 4.0 /Windows 2000

    If you have Win98 installed then loading NT 4.0 would install NT boot manager and give you an option to boot to Win98 or NT when the system starts. Are you trying to load NT 4.0 first and then Win98?<br><br>Regards!

    Why does it take forever to log in?

    First, if there are any shares on a local server that are set to be reconnecting on logon - NT will try to connect to them - whether successfully or not - very time consuming.<br><br>Second, you can create second hardware profile through SYSTEM applet of Control Panel. Next, you can disable RAS...

    Why does it take forever to log in?

    1. What are you logging on to? - Locally to workstation or domain? <br>2. Are there any shares being reconnected on login?<br>3. In the office you aren't using RAS, are you?<br>4. What part of login takes the longest? - &quot;blue screen&quot; stage, getting CTRL+ALT+DEL prompt, time after...

    NT Server 4.0

    1. If the light on the NIC is off then it's most likely that there's no connectivity on it and I should agree w/MasterRacker - probably related to the drivers; check Event Viewer for any errors and check if the card service(s) started from Control Panel.<br><br>2. When you can ping the card's ip...

    Drive mapping password to UNIX (SAMBA) not being retained by Windows

    Do a search on *.PWL files - see if there are more than what you need (format is USERNAME.PWL). Also - check for extra entries under [Password Lists] section of SYSTEM.INI. Make sure that you leave only needed files and corresponding lines. Even better - delete all PWLs and all the lines from...

    getting an error message (1219) when mapping network drives

    If you're able to map the SAME drives while logged on as another user, it really boils down to the user authentication. Check if there are two identical user IDs on NT Server you're mapping to, check if your domain login password has upper case lettering and you're trying lower case to map the...

If no - have you mapped any other drives to the same NT Server before?<br><br>The error 1219 is related to the situation when you log on to the same server twice, but using different case for password - say - PASSWORD and password...
