I have fixed this problem. I didn't have DNS configured properly so that the server was pointing to itself as the DNS server. All Administrative tools launch right away. It has nothing at all to do with the RAID after all. markdmac: The user can only afford one server. They need remote...

Hi: Cute subject, very frustrating problem. Background: THIS IS A FRESH INSTALL OF WINDOWS 2000 Advanced Server Client gave me a Dell Precision 530 to convert to a server. The original hardware was: Dual Xeon Processors 1GB Ram Qty 3 162GB SCSI Hard Drives (Fujitsu) LSI Logic ultra320 SCSI...

what if you can't delete the "somelongstringofnumbers" directory? I've got a machine that no matter what I do...safemode, boot from cd into repair console, anything... It won't delete. I've renamed the parent folder to "wontdelete" and I've tried several different methods for deleting. But it...

Rick: On the public PC, I can't do an ipconfig because when it's connected to the Linksys, the link light on the NIC in the PC itself won't turn on. "Network is unplugged" ... The BIOS reflects some ACPI errors. I've purchased the latest BIOS upgrade from Award. After I upgrade the BIOS...

My diagram didn't post the same way I wrote it. Anyway... Cables...I thought about that. But then why does the other one work? I've also tried cables that I know work on other PCs. What perplexes me is that the PC's network card doesn't give me a network connected green light when I plug it...

Hi: Just wondering if anyone else has run into this before. The client has a network of 5 PCs all connected via DSL with a Cayman Series Netopia box. The Cayman box has 4 ports and the client has static IPs or DHCP. We added a Linksys BEFSR41 for network firewall protection and NAT. It...

It's an issue of money. We don't have any. Sound familiar? :-) The straight scoop is this... The workstation with Red Hat 9 is a donated workstation. I installed the Red Hat and as such it is a journaling filing system. User's don't have root access so they can't fsck unless they reboot...

Hi: I've installed a lower end workstation with Red Hat 9. The machine has been deployed in a wireless coffee shop. This is the only machine which has been hardwired to the network. Everyone else just brings in a laptop with a wireless card. For this Linux workstation, the goal is to make...

This might work... Ghost your drive Restore the ghost image to the drive you want to copy it to When the ghost recover is completed, it will want to reboot. Put your windows XP CD in the drive, and when the system reboots, do a repair. This should take care of any device dependent driver...

and for the conclusion...in case anyone is following this thread.... As it turns out, the reason this system wouldn't install is because the motherboard won't play nice with ACPI. But wait, there's more! The motherboard is an old SiS 5595 with the 530 Chipset. I've been all through...

Thank you for replying to my post and offering your advice... Bcastner & Jess: This is not an upgrade. It is a fresh install. The drive which had the windows 98 installation has been reformatted. The XP Install CD is good as I've used without incident on countless other workstations. To...

Here's the deal PIII with 128MB Ram. I'm trying to install XP Pro on this machine. Boot from CD... Start the setup... setup is copying files.... "The file shell32.dll was not copied correctly" I've tried 3 different XP CDs. I've changed the CD Drive I've even changed the hard drive...

security isn't about hiding. In fact, a church has plenty to hide...like the names, addresses and phone numbers of its children.

Hi: I need a little help speaking English :-) One of my clients is a church. They have a Windows 2000 server with a mix of workstations running various windows installations. As I've had opportunity, I've replaced many of the workstations with Windows XP. Most of the workstations are...

Ok, so I formatted the drive with NTFS and installed WinXP Pro. It seems to be working fine. For those of you who have been following my other thread, "frosted unlucky files..." there doesn't appear to be any random crashes, etc. I'm using the same disk. The only difference is that...

Hello All: In my list of things I've tried, I negelected to mention that I tried Pre-formatting the drive with FAT32. If I do this, yes, I'm presented with the option to "leave as it is" bcastner and bluejacket: The drive has a jumper setting for "Limit Drive to 32GB...

Hi: When you install windows XP, you're supposed to be given 4 formatting options: 1. Format the partition using the NTFS file system (Quick) 2. Format the partition using the NTFS file system 3. Format the partition using the FAT file system (Quick) 4. Format the partition using the FAT file...

Frankeeeee: Actually, in this case it seems that scandisk was causing the problem. Quoting TekTippy: Just a guess, but, might as well; The Fat32 thing may be the culprit with that odd cobol software, just cause if it was written to operate in 32kb clusters like Fat16, instead of 4kb like...

MakeItSo: I updated the BIOS before I installed the OS the first time. As a general rule, whenever I refurbish a machine, I upgrade the BIOS if possible. After I install the new workstations at this client site, I'll be getting the old workstation back. I'll be glad to put it on the open...

MakeItSo: Very insightful! It's not applicable in this case, but you're absolutely correct about that being a potential cause nonetheless. One of the initial theories I checked was EMF from a power junction that might have been too close to the computer. There were none. I quickly rejected...
