    2 NT4 PC with Netbeui can't "talk"

    Check this: 2 PCs with nt4ws, have tcpip and can ping each other fine. They also have netbeui but can't see each other in net neighbourhood so that I can share files and make one of them like a server PC ... Any ideas? Thanks

    URGENT - NT4 INSTALLATION

    I have sorted it chaps and this is how!<br> <br> I started off AGAIN with the original NT4 SP1 installation CD and created a 2Gb system partition although the rest was not recognised by NT at the installation stage. Once I installed it I ran the SP5 and it recognised the other 16Gb of HDD as it...

    URGENT - NT4 INSTALLATION

    I have now heard that NT4 (original service pack 1 setup disk)cannot cope with HDDs larger than 8Gb unless an updated atapi device is specified during the setup procedure.<br> <br> I have looked for it and it is available as part of SP2, 3, 4... but what I need are those updated atapi files...

    Windows startup - stops

    My win95 machine stops every time it gets to the win95 splash screen. Then I have to reset it, it goes into safe mode, after I reset it again it starts OK. <br> <br> Any ideas??

    URGENT - NT4 INSTALLATION

    Thanks guys!<br> <br> I am 99% sure it is down to a hardware error. Maybe RAM or the HDD but the damn thing is brand new under warranty so I've sent it back for replacement of those bits. When it comes back, hopefully very soon, I'll give it a go again and then let you know. The reason I believe...

    Ways to make a 486 processor to report as a pentium?

    Even if the CPU can be seen as a Pentium, I doubt it would run as fast as one, so the question is would your application run at all if it requires a Pentium CPU??<br>

    URGENT - NT4 INSTALLATION

    I have tried some of this:<br> <br> I fdisked the HDD first and then tried NT4 - no good.<br> <br> Then I tried fdisking the drive to remove everything of it and try a Win98 installation! Surprise - got to about 33% and then it decided to just freeze again. <br> <br> BTW, where do you create the...

    URGENT - NT4 INSTALLATION

    Guys, <br> <br> I am trying to install NT4 server off a CD it boots and goes so far every time but stops at different stages and those are usually before I manage to partition drives. In fact the last attempt stopped when I tried to set the size for the FAT and NTFS partitions.<br> My worry is...

    NT 4.0 + Viper V550 problem

    Exactly, I have a 4Mb S3 and I really don't see any need for anything else - I only use the server for monitoring the network. Its cheaper as well.. ha ha.<br> Yeah, try going backwards with SPacks maybe..???<br> And good luck!

    SCSI CD burner

    I agree! I've noticed that even a 3D screensaver can slow it down so much, never mind a CD burner. Go for a workstation, you'll probably have more luck...
