    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Actually, we have a SNAPserver on out network as well, although none of the XP users access any files from it. Have you tried the SMB signing solution from Microsoft? It worked initially for me.

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    bcastner - Actually no, I read a differant article to that (which I now cannot find!) It instructed me to change two registry setting on the server (which is Windows 2000 - Sorry, forgot to mention that earlier) and also on the workstations, which was...

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Question 1: Sorry, I don't understand. Can you clarify what you're asking please? Question 2: No, they are set at 15 minutes, which I presume is the default. Would changing it to the maximum be detrimental to performance in any way? Question 3: No, I have continuously pinged from an XP...

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Unfortunately yes. The elation i felt when I found that setting was only outweighed by the dispair when it didn't work!

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Yep. They're assigned by DHCP. They all reconnect straight away when the connection is broken, but it's enough to upset things like Outlook (where their mailbox is stored on a server) and our CRM package.

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    They are all attached to a domain. They do not seem to have any errors or conflicts in the DHCP/TCPIP/DNS settings, and there are no errors in the event log.

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    All of the computers already have Ad-Aware on them and we run McAfee E-policy Orchestrator on the network. All of them have come up clean from scans on both, but I will install Search and Destroy and report back. It doesn't feel like a virus though. The workstations disconnect usually when...

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm confident that the security systems that we have in place are sufficient to cover us from the threat of any viruses.

    XP Workstations disconnect from network repeatedly.

    Hi, We have a network on one subnet with 2 Windows 2000 servers and 50 ish workstations (approx 10 WinXP / 40 Win2000). Last year we had a problem with the XP workstations disconnecting from the network, where the affected workstations suddenly brought up the offline files dialogue and would no...

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    I think you may be misunderstanding what I mean. I need computers with 192.168.... to be able to communicate with IP devices in the 192.0.0.... range and was asking if changing the subnet mask of everything on the network to 255.0.0.0 would allow this to be so.

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    There is currently one subnet involved which we have a problem with. I was talking about changing the subnet mask on the workstations using DHCP. The router is not really part of the equation yet as the two networks we have are not yet joined. The one off site is already IP addressed correctly...

    DHCP IP and User List

    If you're running DHCP and the IP addresses are all automatically being assigned to the workstations then all you need to do is open up the DHCP console, go into your scope and look at address leases. That shows you all of the assigned IP addresses through DHCP. If you want the static IP...

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    Erm, not really. The subnet mask is currently 255.255.255.0. The issue is that I want to change the mask to 255.0.0.0 temporarily so that we can change over IP devices which do not use DHCP in our own time, and users who have already been changed to 192.168.... can still access them.

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    I take the point that Whoheard is making though. Part of the reason that we are doing this is that two "fairly important" websites hp.com and adobe.com are all inaccessible to us...

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    Thanks everyone. We are currently using 192.0.0.*/24 on the site that I am at. We would like to chage the range over to 192.168.0.*/24. We have two networks on two differant sites which will be joined up in the future. One will be 192.168.1.*/24 and the other will be 192.168.0.*/24 in...

    unknown DNS server

    It's set up as a primary or secondary DNS server in the networking settings for the connection. Each operating system is differant as to how you check it, so if you tell me which os you're using, I can explain how to change it, but what you basically have to do is: 1. Go into "Network and...

    Changing IP range as smoothly as possible.

    Hi guys (ands gals) We are trying to change the IP range of our network to a private one. At the moment (and I have no idea why it was set up this way), our computers use 192.0.0.*, which we would like to change over to 192.168.*.*. I am assuming that given a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0...

    connect to the internet but cant browse

    Also check your firewall if you have one. If your firewall is restricting access to your browser, it could stop your browser getting any information for the internet.

    I'm using IE6 and it looks ok to me.
