It was originally XP Pro, but if you boot from an XP disc it doesn't even find a previous XP installation to repair. Thanks John

I've just collected a Sony laptop that has got HDD problems. On booting there is just a "no operating system found" message. I booted from an ERD disc and the first partition (with the OS and ten years of data, no backups of course) is not even recognized as having a file system. The second...

Can anyone help me with the password removal procedure on a HP Omnibook 6000 laptop? Thanks in advance, John

Yes, SP2 is installed and NetBIOS over TCP-IP enabled, also the NetbIOS and NetBT entries in the registry appear to be correct (they match a similar machine). thanks in advance, John

I have a PC with a strange (to me anyway) problem, NetBIOS over TCP has gone missing. When I check the installed protocols using msinfo32 there are only four entries listed, LSP: MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP] LSP: MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP] LSP: RSVP UDP Service Provider LSP: RSVP TCP Service Provider...

Thanks for the help but still no joy I'm afraid. My broadband has been down all week so I'm only just getting back to the problem. The second PC turned out to be unrelated (someone had reset the home page to the "page cannot be displayed, etc" html page on the C: drive, bastards) Incidentally...

Thanks for the replies. I now have a second PC displaying the same problem, this one running W2K PRO. One both affected machines at the netsh prompt the winsock parameter is not present Strangely it is possible to open web pages by using favorites or hypertext links in e-mails. Nothing in...

Just had a pC (XP Pro, SP2) suddenly coming up with the above message, it is connected to the internet (pings dns server ok, dns service is running, will resolve names to IP and vice versa) but no browser. Any ideas, thanks in advance John

Not quite what i'm looking for but thanks anyway. The tool I'm looking for pings every possible host in a subnet and reports which are actually connected.

Does anyone know of a windows freeware/shareware utility along the lines of whatroute for Mac OS (pings every host in a subnet, amongst other uses)

Can anyone point me to a downloadable service manual for a presario 2100 laptop, need to remove the keyboard. Thanks, John

I've just configured RRAS on a W2K server to be an Internet Connection Server following the wizard instructions. I now find that the server will display internet content but not the workstations (they will ping the outside world however). This is a new installation so there are no IP or packet...

I'm trying to set up a VPN connection to a W2K server, RRAS is installed, input & output filters on the VPN interface on the interface set to only allow PPTP traffic but when I try to connect i get the "verifying username & password" box, then "Disconnected, error 619, the specified port is not...

Is there any way to promote a standalone workgroup server to a domain controller in NT4 (like running dcpromo in W2K) without reinstalling the OS?

I've been asked to set up a VPN between a client's home and his office network. Office server runs MS Small Business Server 2000, workstations are W2K Pro, internet access is through an intellinet ADSL modem/router which is also being used as the DHCP server. Home setup is 2 PCs running XP...

A customer wants me to set up a VPN between his home (Win XP)and office (W2K small Business Server), snag is I've never done this before. Both systems are on ADSL broadband, the home system using an ethernet modem and the office an Intellinet Broadband Modem/Router (epicrouter?). Security is not...

There may be a problem with the TCP/IP stack, try removing the TCP/IP protocol and reinstalling it. If you were using Norton Systemworks 2002 try running support\nswclean\nswclean.exe from the CD.

I've been asked to set up a VPN connection to an office network from the manager's home. The office W2K server connects to the internet via an Intellinet ADSL router which is VPN capable. I've never done this before, does the router need a static IP address to be assigned by the ISP and what...

I've just converted a network from workgroup to client/server using W2k Server and mostly W2K Pro workstations. The users' roaming profiles have been created on the server along with profile paths and home directories. The profile folder on the server is shared by everyone. The problem I'm...
