I have a computer that logs into the AD network just fine. However, just yesterday when the user logged on she noticed her wallpaper and all desktop items were missing. I checker to see what profile she was on, and the path was C:\NTProfile. She should have logged onto the profile C:\Documents...

I have a NetGear VPN/Firewall router too. I wonder, however, if Netgear intentionaly made it difficult to use the standard 2000/XP VPN client software, so that they could sell the client software. I understand they provide little to no support for the VPN set up, and all of the tutorials have...

Ohh, Just contacted the company to purchase. The program is 100$ , per license. So it isn't that much less expensive than Exchange. I will have to talk to my manager and find out how much he is willing to pay.

Yeah this is exactly what I wanted. 100 bucks is a deal, compared to a grand for Exchange. The company is from England, so I guess they want their money in pounds. I got the demo version up and running in about an hour.

One thing is, that defrag on Windows is a freeware version of a program called "Disk keeper". I know that the program that comes bundled with windows is alot less functional, intentionaly. Less than 1% total system fragmentation isn't going to affect the speed of your machine, so I don't know...

Is this something you can set in the BIOS of the machine? When you set up boot order, you can specify boot from network.

I saw this problem with computer that have alot of temp and compressed files. If you Ctrl-Alt-Delete you will see your proccessor is spiked. It is like the computer tries to delete the files, but there is more than it can handle. I have seen the same problem where people try and delete all...

ok, One problem I have seen is that people try and SMTP to a company/server that won't accept their mail. I have an email account through my college and i can use a pop client (outlook) to download my mail. But in the server selection I have to list my ISPs server for the smtp. So my settings...

My company uses Outlook for an email client. Individual users also use the contacts, calendar, tasks, and note capabilities. The Manager of the service department asked me if there was some way that all the people in the department could share their task lists. They keep track of vehicles they...

I printed out that FVS318_Win2000 document and attempted to follow it to the letter. However when I was done I could not even see my client hitting the 318 in the logs. I disabled the settings on the XP client and now I hit the 318 but get error messages. It leads me to believe I have the IP...

What do TCP SYN mean? * Syn is part of the TCP Syn/Ack handshake. I remember learning about it in school. The real important part is that someone can "Syn flood" your server in a Denial of Service attack. That is probably why its logged. How about ICMP? * ICMP is basicly ping and traceroute...

When you say a sniffer, do you mean a hardware or software sniffer? Also, my understanding was that a sniffer only works for the individual network segment. I ensured that all the hubs where I work were replaces with switches to maxamize network thouroughput. So If I had a software sniffer...

Thanks for the quick reply! The ended sessions thing makes sense. Is there anything I should be watching for specificly? Certain destination ports? I wasn't too scared about the logs, but we have had the router for about 3 weeks and it was a nagging concern.

Hi, My company recently upgraded from a simple Lynksys router to a slightly less simple Netgear Router/Firewall/VPN Appliance. Works nice, but the device's security logs seems, at least to me, to be taking alot of connection hits. Can anyone glance over this cut and paste of the logs to tell me...

I am about to lay in a new network backbone at the business I work for. The servers (5) all support copper gbic ethernet, as do 12 new workstations. The 12 stations all access the central server to run point of sale programs. I recently upgraded them from workgroup hubs to workgroup switches...

Did you try booting up in safe mode and trying to remove the printer then?

Greetings, I am a first time Systems Administrator for a company with about 50 computers 4 file servers, and 15 printers. I have just completed my first month on the job, and am just starting to figure out the mess that was here, and planning on how to fix it. We are about to replace all...

In a LAN enviroment you should never drop packets. Try this: bring up the command prompt on the XP box by going to start > run > and type CMD Then ping all of your boxes at the same time with the "ping -t XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" The XXX's indicate the clients IP. You can open up a command...

How nice is the Kyocera? Is it older or newer? Possibly that .tmp file is something created by the print server to hold the document your printing until it prints successfully. If the file your printing is large, an older server/printer may not have enough internal memory to hold it is forced to...

I'm not sure exactly how many clients your XP box could host with ICS. I would recommend you purchase a cheap linksys-type router and set up a network that way. Hypotheticly, your XP box might be dropping network requests because it's overworked and thats why you have intermittant connectivity...
