    Mapped drives and "local device name already in use"

    Ok, here is more detail: We have a mixed Novell/NT/AD network. The Novell client (4.9) allows access to some shares, the H: drive (the one having the problem) is in the NT domain. The new AD domain wasn't really being used until we converted from GroupWise to Exchange 2003, which is in AD...

    Mapped drives and "local device name already in use"

    W2K Pro with a mapped drive. Occasionally when a user tries to save a file to that drive they get: "An error occured while reconnecting H: to \\server\share Microsoft Windows Network: the local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored." Apparently MS tells people...

    Ghost Corporate Edition 8.0

    I was wondering if there is a forum in tek-tips that is devoted to Symantec Ghost. Does anyone know of a good forum to post questions about Ghost? I'm having problems getting a PXE enabled client to accept boot image .sys files from the Ghost Server. >Think for yourself< ...or someone else...

    You get what you pay for

    jrbarnett, thats a great idea! Yea, I found that typo in an ad for a network admin position. Considering how much falsification of diplomas goes on in the world, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people out there who've already done it. Heres another for MCCE: "Microsoft Certfied Crisco...

    Heres another good one: "Microsoft and Crisco certifications weigh strongly in the candidates favor." >Think for yourself< ...or someone else will do it for you.

    McAfee autoupdate file problem

    We run uvscan on Redhat 7.2. This is the "virus scan for Linux v4.14.0" from McAfee. The .DAT files are updated automatically every morning. Has worked fine for the last few years until this last Saturday, when qmail started having major problems. Tracked it down to something with the .DATs...

    Click &quot;OK&quot; on Local Area Connection properties

    Well, the issue is documented on Ciscos site. The fix was akin to uninstalling the client (version 4.0.1 running on XP Pro), rebooting, click "ok" on the network properties, then reinstall the client. It worked. The initial problem was not being able to connect at all. Once this "fix" was...

    Click &quot;OK&quot; on Local Area Connection properties

    This is more of a rhetorical comment than a question: I've noticed that with several network related issues in XP, whether it's a vpn connection, wireless or good old pci nic, sometimes they won't work, or work correctly until I click "OK" on the Local Area Connection properties and reboot...

    &quot;No print servers are currently attached to this queue&quot;

    Marv, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, all our printers are non-NDPS, setup that way from the beginning. I didn't build the servers or network. I also see that NDPS.NLM isn't loading either. Whats the advantage of doing printing that way? I figured out that unless I configure the Linksys...

    &quot;No print servers are currently attached to this queue&quot;

    NW 5, SP 6, had a printer/print server/printer queue that worked fine: HP 2500 CP (plotter), Linksys EPSX3 V2 and a queue called "hp_2500_q". Everything worked fine, until yesterday. When trying to print, it would just hang, ran pconsole, said the job was "ready", not "active" like it...

    Disappearing File Rights

    Ever tried Samba? >Think for yourself< ...or someone else will do it for you.

    Write perms in Samba

    Ok, here is what worked: directory mask = 775 create mask = 775 force group = cad This sets it so that only those in the cad group can create/write in this share, and forces the files/dirs to be 775. I guess it helps to read the smb.conf man page... >Think for yourself< ...or someone else...

    Oh, here is another great ad I saw on Monster: "LaunchpadIT, a nationwide information technology internship service, is THE career launcher for ambitious techies. LaunchpadIT combines serious comprehensive IT training, 1 year fulltime internship as a LAN/WAN engineer/analyst/administrator, and...

    GlenJohnson, thats interesting that you mentioned ethics in how much you charge customers: "because the normal person on the street can't pay $100+ an hour just to find out the modem isn't plugged in tight, when they have to pay the first hour even though the solution took 30 seconds." I do...

    Write perms in Samba

    Samba 2.2.5 on RH9. Only users in "cad" group can write, however when anyone in that group creates a file or dir, its 755, so that user owns it. So only they can write to it again, not anyone else in their group. Is there a way for them to automatically create their files/dirs as 775, so...

    Linux not appropriate for critical security applications

    What is obvious to me from reading the posts in this discussion is that most of the open source slammers are either too lazy to learn how to "tweak(ing) and play(ing) around with obscure configuration files" or too comfortable (addicted) to their Start Windows .wav. Saying windows is more...

    You get what you pay for

    Yea, I don't take these sort of things seriously, but like I said, I have seen several other ads like this over the past couple of years. Essentially since the economy has taken a dive many companies know they have their pick of the litter so they think they can get IT on the cheap... If a...

    This showed up in the Salt Lake Tribune classifieds (www.sltrib.com) on Sunday, May 2nd. This is an example of how ridiculous some employers can get, and unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've seen ads like this: "COMPUTER IT director small company WXP, HTML, MYSQL, PHP, CGI, $8-$10/hr...
