Tks guys, Problem solved. Actually I was trying to set up a printer server attach to the network where the setting up of the com-ports was a bit wried and I created a wrong one. I had it all done and the printers are running fine now. Tks for all your effort.

Hi, When we create new printers, we may create new com-ports for them. How (or where) can we remove them?

Hi One day, another guy in the office was trying to backup his files for his chinese window temporally on the server for an upgrade of his pc. He found that the server was not able to handle some of his files and folders (chinese). There should be some way of turning the server to...

Hi wolluf, I've tried that already and the following happens : 1. It keeps saying that they found some new stuff (it may be hard / soft ware) and tried to do a window setup but some of them does not tell what is involved and hence no way to show them where the necessary files are located. 2...

Hi, I have window2k on this machine for years already and the hardware seems to want to retire. I buy a new motherboard but not a new hdd. Before I switch the old disk to the new MB, I dele all the drivers for the IDE controller. I reboot the old hdd on the old MB, everything seems to be OK...

Tks Pete, I got it. Wonder if you have any idea how to get one record from a dbase file and split the fields into two rows in a spreadsheet? I have that years before in Lotus by setting up some macros, but now..., probably getting too old to... I like your saying, but many could see the...

Hi, We ran into this very simple problem : whenever you enter or edit in a source cell, the result should pop up in the target cell. But somehow the automatic recalculation was turn off and everytime the user had to press F9 before the spreadsheet would do the calculation. How can I turned it...

Hi I setup a non-NDPS printer (a print server, a print queue and a pritner) on my server but I could not get it working, can anyone give me a hand? I set up like this : At a workstation with the 'novell client for windows' installed, I login as 'admin'. Firing up 'nwadmin32' in...

Hi, Tks for the tip. But would they work as we are on window platform? I have done that in DOS days but now.....

Hi, Our application has to print various paper size and in landscape mode. We had made several 'printers' for just 1 physical printer on each workstation. As the no of printers grows it just gets out of hand. Is there any way to manipulate the printer settings thru the program ( or utilities...

Tks everyone, I get thru by reinstalling the Novell client and specify the ipx protocol selection. Then I tried to install a non-NDPS printer and the application did create a printer, a print queue and a printer server for me. When it creates the printer, it specifies the LPT1 port, but which...

Hi, I had a Novell 5.1 server set up. 1/ I tried to connect a W2K workstation to it. If I use the microsoft 'Client service for netware' connection, it's OK (so there could not be any hardware or wiring problem). If I install a 'novell client for windows' (49sp2e) it just tells me that it...

Hi aquias What you mean is using a 'network printer server', isn't it? A device with an IP address and several printers attached to it (that the best I can describe the device, sorry for my poor English and technical terms). Just try to make the 2nd paragraph more clear (hopefully) : I...

Tks Mark, No, I don't have a domain. Is 'everyone' the 'everyone' that you find when you right-click the printer-->sharing-->security:top box. If that is it, then I had the right thing but every time when I tried to print from a workstation (98 or 2k) it would ask for a password (which should...

Hi, Is it possible to share printers (and/or directories) attach to the w2k server to users on the LAN that are not server-local-users?

Tks Matt J. I think you answer my question already : The login name must be users on both machines but that is what I don't want. I just want him to use my printer but cannot use my machine, that's it. Any way out of this? What happen's if the printer is attached to a server? Does the...

Hi, If I am going to share my printer (on a w2k prof. station say A) to everyone on the lan (98,2k) but I don't want them to be my local users, can this be done. I've tried creating a network printer (say NP) on other station (say B) by logging in as B's administrator. When I logged on as...

Hi, This might be a very old question : how to make a dual/triple boot system? I've tried this with a 98, W2K, system commander ver.7: First I install the W2K, then SC7 and make a partition for 98. All works fine in this manner with SC7's nice choose-an-OS-menu. If I have the other way round...

Hi, I have been downloading PDF files from the net for a while. Every now and then, I would like to cut parts of pages and paste them to make a new one. What Adobe product do I need? (or anything other than Adobes). I have tried copying to clipboard and merge into Word, Excel files and then...

About this cache idea : I still remember I read an article (way back in the 486 era) saying that after a certain amount of cache, the hit rate increase only by 1 or 2% . If my memory does not fail me, I think it is 64k = 90% hit rate, 128k = 92% hit rate. But I think it also had something to...
