Disregard the previous post. I don't know what on Earth was going on, or why Windows was acting so funky, but things seem to be okay now and I've solved my problem.

Our Windows 2000 Server has several shared folders. Everyone was given free reign to all of them, as this is a small company. Today, however, it was decided that the Accounting share should only be accessible by 5 of our users. So I add them to the share and login with a non-accessible...

Got it! The regular XP drivers work fine. Turns out she had tried to install a USB Lexmark Z45 on the same computer, but installed the drivers for a Z42 instead. Parallel port drivers. On LPT1. Ugh. I had overlooked that printer entry when I was viewing her configuration yesterday...

I'd love to know who did the initial install. I have no idea what drivers it was using before. I had seen that list of printers in the manual but somehow it didn't *click* with me that I could try those drivers with this printer. Don't ask me why. I guess yesterday was a particularly dense...

My coworker was having trouble getting anything intelligible to print. When you pressed the "Online" button on the printer, it just prints page after page of gibberish, whether you've requested anything to print or not. After uninstalling/reinstalling and changing a few settings to no...

Nevermind. After some more problems popped up that weren't there yesterday, I called D-Link again. After an hour of the same troubleshooting I'd already done, they gave me an RMA number.

My company has a Sonicwall SOHO3 acting as both a firewall and a VPN server for users to access our internal network from home. We have a D-Link DI-711 wireless gateway that we wish to use to provide wireless service to several employees. Optimally, I would have liked to put it in front of the...

I'm assuming you're talking about Windows 2000 Server. If so, see Appendix B of MS's Virtual Private Networking with Windows 2000: Deploying Remote Access VPNs. I tried to make that a link, but I'm at a loss as to how to do that with this stupid TGML crap. I checked the list of commands, but...

Thanks to both of you. I must have misread SonicWall's site. I think we may go with them.

That sounds nice on the surface, but once you start adding in all the extras (and with SonicWall everything is an extra!), Sonicwall costs far more than my company is willing to spend. Since we have 30 users that need Internet access, we'd have to get the 50 firewall user license for the SOHO3...

Also, the PPoE thing isn't a requirement. We're prepared to switch to a static IP on our VPN router if that's what the solution requires. I'm just looking for a way to do this inexpensively. SSH Sentinel costs twice as much as the Linksys VPN router itself! I'd send every user home with a...

Thanks for the advice, but my company really doesn't want to spend $130 per remote user for client software. Our users are technical enough that changing the secpol.msc file every time their IP changes shouldn't be a problem. A royal pain, yes. A problem, no. Most of them will be going...

The company I work for wants to set up a VPN for remote users to connect to the office LAN. We're running a Windows 2000 domain. There are only about 30-40 hosts on the LAN. I got the Linksys BEFVP41, but experienced nothing but headaches when trying to get a remote XP client to connect to...
