    - 1 out of 6 PCs cannot connect to My Network Places Hi I have a network of 6 computers via wired router. I am only able to access 5 out of the 6 PCs on My Network Places. The 1 computer in question: - I have run the 'Set up a home or small office network' wizard but I still cannot see the files/folders of the other PCs. - I have successfully connected to the internet via the network - When I click 'view workgroup computers', nothing appears - When I click 'view workgroup computers' from any of the other PCs, I am only able to see the PC I am having a problem with but unable to view/access the files/folders when I double click on the icon.

    - Apps cannot access internet On my laptop, wireless connection, none of my applications can access the internet. I do not recall making any changes to any settings that could have made this occur. I've tried both IE and FF and triple checked the proxy settings. iTunes, other applications also cannot access. The wireless connection indicates signal good and connected. I disabled Zone Alarm and rebooted with the same results. Also ran the MSFT TCP/IP stack reset tool to no avail. Any brainstorming troubleshooting ideas? Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288858

    - XP Pro to XP Home wireless network I have two laptops at home, mine running XP Home edition and one from work running XP Professional, which is on the network at work through a VPN (once I log in). Both are connected to my cable modem by a wireless router, connecting wirelessly without problems. What I want to do seems simple: I want to operate one computer from the other, that is, I'm at the work laptop all the time and have it connected to my extermal mointor and so on, and I'd like to be able to access the home laptop from the work laptop. I've tried networking and nothing works, after following step by step instructions to install an app from Microsoft called "network setup" it told me it can't because the work machine is "on a domain". I've tried various other things and the closest I've gotten is logging into the one computer from the other over the Internet (Citrix remote pc) but it's slow and not what I need. Any advice welcome. Thanks. Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288857

    - Had two of the same IP's, how do I clear the damage? Hi All, I set up an OpenVPN tunnel between two sites. I goofed and had the same IP address (192.168.255.100) on each end. I have corrected the problem. Problem: every machine on the network works fine with the new IP addresses (192.168.255.100-local, & 101-remote), except the original machine (192.168.255.50) I was doing the testing on. It can not see the 192.168.255.101 at the remote location. (Everyone else can, but not .50) Is it possible that its routing tables are messed up? How do I do a mass clear and start over? How do I clear the damage? Many thanks, -T Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288845

    - Problem sharing external (USB) drive with XP Pro I have a home LAN consisting of an XP nPro (XPP) desktop, an XP Home (XPH) desktop, a Vista wireless laptop and an Ubuntu wireless desktop. XPP and XPH have external USB drives in addition to their internal ones. I have set up sharing using the article by Ron Lowe and Steve Winograd at <http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/whole.htm>, but while the XPP external drive is visible from the other computers, it is not accessible. Simple file sharing is off at XPP and the Guest account is disabled. Each machine has an account with the same username. I've gone through the Lowe/Winograd article and I'm pretty sure I've done everything they say, but I still get that "you don't have permission..." error message. Troubleshooting suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288812

    - Lose control of ICS connection from client - only reboot gets it b I have a desktop running XP SP2 whose internet connection I share. I specified that clients could control that connection. That way lazy old me can sit at my laptop (XP and SP3) and dial out. It works just fine - most of the time. Sometimes, generally after having my laptop come out of standby or hibernate, I can no longer control the connection. Network Connections does not even show the connection (which it normally does). One really bizarre aspect is that if my better half has already started the connection on the desktop, I can still get out to the internet from my laptop, even though I cannot see it in Network Connections, and it does not show up on the task bar, either. So far, the only way I can get control and visibility back is to reboot the laptop. I don't have to reboot the desktop that has the connection that is being shared. Obviously, I would rather not have to do that. Is there some other way I can kick-start the access to the ICS? By the way, even though the laptop now has SP3, this happened under SP2 as well. The network connection between the laptop and the desktop is a Linksys wireless router, if that matters. I have tried rebooting said router to see if that fixes the problem, but it does not. Thanks.

    - mapped srives "fail" I experience this problem at 2 dififerent sites now. It is as though mapped drives take long to "activate" after startup. The apps make use of mapped drives to common data on the server. On restart of a pc and then opening of the app we get errors relatinf to not finding server data. If we close the app and go into explorer, then we can view the contents of the mapped drives. Then we restart the app and it "connects" to the data and runs fine, till we restart a pc.

    - Network Shares via VPN OK one way, rejected the other way Hi There, I am hoping that someone can help me with this, as i have no more hair left to tear out. Allow me to explain. We have two sites linked via a vpn tunnel, two different domains, one site in the UK and one site in Ireland. Both sites can ping each others routers and main servers. RDP works either way The problem arises when trying to open a network share located in the Ireland site. For example, sitting on a machine in the uk, open a run command and enter \\192.168.16.2 - after about 30 seconds to a minute i get a error â?? The network path was not found. If i enter a hidden share ie \\192.168.16.2\c$ after about 30 seconds a password authentication request box appears asking for credentials. I enter the domain administrator user name and password (which i know are correct as i have performed a rdp to the same machine) and wait â?? after about 30 seconds, the authentication requestor is back again. I have also tried various combinations of the username ie administrator@mydomain.com mydomain\administrator â?? etc All result in a brief pause then the requestor is back. Now going from the other direction is a different matter â?? if i RDP onto the server in Ireland, then open the Run command and put in a ip for a server in the uk â?? i get another password authentication request, i enter administrator and its domain password, after a brief moment, i am presented with the shares on that server.

    - Mystery downloads I use a wireless broadband connection to the internet with a 3GB monthly limit (uploads + downloads). Yesterday my systems apparently downloaded 900+ MB and I have no idea what application or website did that to me. I'd be very concerned about malware if this traffic were upload traffic, but since it's download, I feel it's probably some poorly designed web site I was connected to for a while -- is that a reasonable assumption? In any case, I would really like to find a utility that would log, for each IP address I connect to, the upload and download volumes. Can anyone point me to a reliable program that will do that? I'm using WinXP Pro SP2 updated to date. I have several PCs on a LAN connected to the net via a wireless modem using Windows ICS.

    - network access to shares always try to authenticate but fails I have 3 PCs running XP Pro on a pear-to-pear network. On one of them I cannot access the shares. I can see them but if I click (using Win Explorer) I get asked for a password. If I use Simple File Sharing it ask for a pasword for the guest account - although there definately is none (I have verifie this with "net user guest"). If I use Classis File Sharing and assign rights to a known user, the password fails. It just keeps taking me back to the login dialogue box. Does anybody know how to delete and re-install XP Pro authentication services? Or have any other ideas? Thanks, Rob Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288785

    - Offline folders I have 2 destop pc's and a laptop, that I keep for business, and on a PC I have a shared folder for service manuals, time sheets, ect... Until Saturday all 3 had XP Pro SP2, and PC's AM2, XP64, and Laptop C640 had all access behind a Router/firewall with Shared folders, and offline folders that sync'd to/from my laptop. On Friday, I upgraded the AM2 to a new MB, CPU, and ram, and then did an inplace upgrade to the OS, to get the new hardware recognized and drivers loaded. Since all three are all on the same workgroup, I renamed the shares to a more logical naming so that first the PC name, followed by the drive letter, then the shared name. NOW. I have updated the AM2 to XP SP3, the XP64 also, and wanted to do the laptop also, but wanted to sync the folders first, but I needed to rename the shared offline folders to reflect the new names, but from the sp2 laptop, the newly renamed folders on AM2 don't show up in network neighborhood. Summary: Laptop c640 XPSP2 sees and accesses XP64 XPsp3 and all shared drives/folders in Network neighborhood both ways. PC AM2 XPsp3 sees and accesses XP64 XPsp3 and all shared drives/folders in Network neighborhood both ways. PC AM2 XPsp3 sees and accesses Laptop c640 XPSP2 and all shared drives/folders in Network neighborhood both ways. BUT Laptop c640 XPSP2 can only see PC AM2 XPsp3 and 1 OLD sharename but nothing else. I can use both IE, and Windows explorer and access all shared drives/folders using the IP address. WHY? -- Desktop Support Kodak Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288784

    - Offline Files / Folder Redirection I recently reformatted a Windows XP Laptop on my domain set up to use My Documents redirection (to a server) with Offline Files. When I logged on as a standard user, it came to my attention that Documents were being stored locally and weren't being synchronized with the server.

Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ---------------------------------------- Event Type: Error Event Source: Folder Redirection Event Category: None Event ID: 106 Date: 6/7/2008 Time: 3:11:20 PM User: DOMAIN\User Computer: LAPTOP Description: Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The full source path was <C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents>. The full destination path was <\\Server\Accounts$\Documents\User\My Documents>. At least one of the shares on which these paths lie is currently offline. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ---------------------------------------- I can manually change the target of the Documents folder to the Server, however I receive 'Access is Denied' errors for every file when attempting to Synchronize. Everything still works fine on Administrator accounts, although the Folder Redirection Policy is applied to all users on the domain. Changing permissions on the Documents folders has no effect whatsoever on the issue. Help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288764

    - How can I get in my LAN when I boot from a WinPE disk? I have a home network of three computers, all under WinXP via modem NetComm NB5Plus4. I have a few boot disks, including Acronis emergency disk. If I boot a computer by this CD (from Acronis), I easily get in local area network and can save backup (a disk image) of one computer to another, i.e. through my network. It means that the operating system of this disk "sees" neighbouring computers in my network. But if I boot a computer by a WinPE disk, I cannot get in other computers of my network. I can get in the Internet, but cannot get in neighbouring computers. Why? What and where should I change for this? Thank you Lev Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288756

    - Enable/Disable net as limited user Of safety reasons I would like to enable and disable my network connection, just enable it when I am surfing and disable it when I am not. When I am working as Administrator it is simple but I would like to do this as a limited access user. I have put a shortcut to a connection on the desktop. If I rightclick it, I get a popup meny with Enable or Disable. As Administrator, I can switch by clicking, as limited access user it is grayed out. How do I as a limited access user get permission to enable/disable? I have two Network Connections, "1394 Connection" and "Local Area Connection" although I do only have one physical (Ethernet) connection. How does this work? Are these connections two drivers connected in series, one handling the hardware and the other communicating with the local net I assume my apartment is connected to? Is this the way it is? If it is so, I suppose it does not matter which connection I enable/disable. Am I right? Thanks for any answer Anders Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288755

    - WINXP Pro computers disappear from Network Places I have a network of five computers, all windows xp pro, no servers or domains, and all in same workgroup. Static IP (manually configured, not DHCP). When I restart my pc I can see all of them in Network Places, then after about 20 minutes, 3 of them (including mine) disappear. I can ping them, and still access mapped drives but can not see them in network places. I have checked ipconfig, ran cdiag, and browstat. XP firewall is disabled, I have KIS 7.0 and tried with and without it disabled with same results. The network has run fine for about 2 years, then about 2 weeks ago the PC's start disappearing. I have checked the browser service, even stopped them and restarted, checked power management, file and print sharing enabled, and for IP address conflicts. All computers have unique ip's, same subnet, dns, workgroup name, and default gateway. If you need more info let me know. Thanks in advance for any help.

    - Peer to Peer problem Two computers, an HP desktop & a Toshiba laptop, share this problem. They can get to the Internet wireless through a Checkpoint firewall appliance/ap and email is no problem. They cannot see each other for peer to peer file sharing. Turned off XP's firewall and disabled F-Secure all together but to difference. As an experiment I connected them with a crossover cable and assigned IP's but still can ping each other. If I connect my laptop, either one of them can ping me but I cannot ping either of them. I can find no other software installed that might explain this. The F-Secure is current and up to date and runs a daily scan so virus or trojans are unlikely. The HP desktop has Internet Connection sharing turned on even though the Internet is through the CheckPoint appliance. Any ideas anyone? John. Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288749

    - Can't connect to server, see pics, download, sites etc... So it all started when Maxthon needed this update for something, I downloaded it, let it install. yada yada, then all of a sudden my browser goes berserk! and it can't run T_T SO I switch back over to IE while I downloaded the original maxthon again and fixed that problem. Well, after that happened some websites I frequent wouldn't come up, I'd get that annoying "can not find website" or "can not connect to server" error message. I thought I had a virus, so I downloaded trojan remover (*great* program, I'd swear by it) and it searched and destroyed some nasty ones but my problem only seems to be getting worse. So I fgured, hmm, maybe the simple version of maxthon screwed up my system. I'll check IE and see if it needs updated. So, I try and download IE7 and install it but first the box that is supposed to pop up DID pop up, but the page couldn't be viewed. So I clicked save target as on the download link and got the message "Cannot connect to server" My internet connection is running just fine. I have no idea what the problem is. People have told me I need to reset my DNS settings, but then my brother told me I needed to go to Windows Update, so I did...and I can't even get to the page, but I can get to the rest of the website. Also, some types of pictures on the internet won't show up for me either. On Weatherbug, all the images on that program don't show. On Yahoo and some forums I go to , the smilies don't work either.

    - Poor TCP performance over WAN with out-of-order packets Hi! I have the next problem: We have a 12 Mibt/s WAN. The delay is 40ms. There are out-of-order packets, from 10 packet come back 3 in incorrect order. Because of this, between two Windows (Windows XP, 2000 Professional, 2000 Server, or 2003 Server) is the maximum bandwidth 800kbit/s over TCP. It doesnâ??t matter, wich protocoll is in application layer (SMB, FTP, SSH,â?¦). In test environment is the same case, if i set out-of-order packets over the test connection (with random delay). Between two Linux isnâ??t any problem, they use the maximum available bandwith. And the most interesting thing: If the sender is Linux and the reciever is Windows, isnâ??t any problem. But if the sender is a Windows machine, it sends only with 800kbit/s. (Over the WAN, and in the test network too.) If i set the "TcpMaxDupAcks" TCP/IP parameter on the sender, the bandwidth will be 1 â?? 1,1 Mbit/s, but it is just a little result. Can somebody help me? Thank!

    - Offline files question Hi. Sorry if I over cross-posted! I have one staff member who travels a lot, and she has historically manually copied her entire (2GB) User directory to her (XP) laptop before travelling. Over a few years, this resulted in about five different versions of her directory, a situation I want to prevent from happening again. So I looked into enabling offline files, the theory being that there would be an intelligent process managing the syncronization of files between her laptop and the server (Small Business Server 2003). However, when I enable this and open the Offline Files Folder, what we see is an unordered list of a gazillion files, not at all in their heirarchical directory structure. It's impossible to find something like this. Is there a better solution? Are we not using Offline Files properly? If she copies her entire directory Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matthew Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288727

    - Problem with xp pro connecting to xp for gaming I have 2 xp sp2 home edition computers connected with one xp pro computer on a LAN. I can ping all three from all three. I can access all files and run programs. The only thing I can't do is get games (or my homeschoooling program) to work accross the network. The 2 xp sp2 computers do work and join the same game with zone alarms on and without. The xp pro can see the game or home schooling service running but won't connect. The xp pro computer just tells me it is 'unable to join game'. I have turned 'on' guest accounts. I have made the user and passwords all the same. I have tried both simple and classic file sharing. I have tried running in safe mode after disabling all firewalls, still nothing. I have disabled security policy features and enabled full access.

    - XP _Pro_ only allowing 5 connections Hi, I have a freshly installed XP Pro SP2 (_not_Home_) only allowing 4 connections to shared folders (as seen with "net session"). I've been reading many MS KB articles about it and I understant XP _Pro_ should allow 10 connections. It is only XP + Apache & PHP. No antivirus, no Office, no nothing. In the network I have 7 computers having 2000 SP4, XP SP3 and Vista SP1, but it does not seem to depend on which ones are first. It only allows 5. I've tried some registry hacks suggested by MS about not allowing anonymous connections but this does not seem to solve nothing. Please help! I'm not shure what to do next and already considering having to install a virtual machine with Linux to share that folder to the 7 machines. Toni.

    - Sharing Scheduled Tasks to people without administrative rights Hello everyone, I have done the following: - created a share "WINDOWS$" on folder "T:\WINDOWS" - granted Read access to Everyone on that share - executed the command "cacls T:\WINDOWS\Tasks /E /G Everyone:R" What I can do now is to open an explorer and navigate to \\machinename \WINDOWS$\Tasks. So far so good. The problem is: The folder is displayed as a normal folder. I can see the .job files and even the SchedLgU.Txt and the SA.DAT. This way I cannot rightclick the tasks and chose Properties in order to review their settings. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance! Martin Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288713

    - Problem with Windows 98SE computer networking with XP computer I'm new to networking and would appreciate any help I can get on this problem. I have tried may suggested solutions but nothing has helped so far. I have a home network with one XP Pro SP2 (NTFS) computer (called Blackbox) and one older Win 98SE (FAT32) computer (called Dell) connected through a router/DSL modem (ActionTec GT704WG gateway) for a wired network. "ipconfig /all" for the XP computer is: Windows IP configuration Host name: blackbox Primary Dns Suffix: Node Type: Unknown IP Routing Enabled: No WINS Proxy Enabled: No DNS Suffix Search List: domain_not_st.invalid Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix: domain_not_set.invalid Description: Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T Adapter Physical Address: 00-18-F3-5F-C7-14 Dhcp Enabled: Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes IP Address: 192.168.1.64 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers: 192.168.1.1 68.238.64.12 Lease Obtained: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 9:23 Lease Expires: Thursday, June 05, 2008 9:23 "ipconfig /all" for the 98SE computer is: Windows IP configuration: Host name: Dell.domain_not_set.invalid (I don't understand - the computer is called "Dell") DNS servers: 192.168.1.1 68.238.64.12 Mode Type: Broadcast NetBIOS scope ID: IP Routing enabled: No WINS Proxy enabled: No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS: No Ethernet Adapter: Description: U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCI NIC TX Physical address: 00-14-C1-40-B7-D9 DHCP enabled: Yes IP Address: 192.168.1.66 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 PHCP Server: 192.168.1.1 Primary WINS Server: Secondary WINS Server: Lease Obtained: 06 04 08 10:28:21 AM Lease Expires: 06 05 08 10:28:21 AM Both computers have firewall and anti-virus software. The 98SE computer used Kerio while the XP uses Comodo. Both firewalls and both anti-virus softwares are disabled. The XP computer can only "see" the 98SE computer with the Kerio firewall disabled (it does not seem to work with a trusted IP address group of 192.164.1.1 - 192.168.1.255). Both computers are able to use the internet without trouble. Both computers can ping the localhost by name and IP address, ping each other and ping a remote address (e.g., google.com) by name or IP address. Both computers have several shared folders. Both computers show the home and individual shared folders in their "Network Places/Neighborhood" locations. The XP computer can map the shared folders of the 98SE computer and browse/read/write to them. The 98SE computer can NOT view/map/read/write to the shared folders on the XP. Clicking on a shared folder for the XP machine results in an error message. The message reads: ""\\Blackbox\<shared folder name> is not accessible. Not enough memory is available. Quit some programs." "Blackbox" is the name of the XP computer. Please help! Using a "one-way" network is not enough. I would appreciate any/all help/solutions I can get.

    - Setting up a network in Vista OK, I admit it, I'm not a computer guy. I recently bought a new (Vista Home Premium) PC to replace my XP PC. On the XP PC I had a wireless network I could access with my PDA and laptop from almost anywhere in my house. With the Vista PC I fail constantly. I have read a handful of web articles on how to accomplish this but I apparently am missing a step. The Netgear router is working on the Vista PC. Firewall on the laptop is (when I'm trying to get a connection) disabled. The Network status on the laptop and PDA show a good signal. How do I troubleshoot this? FWIW, 'Connect to a Network' on the Vista PC and laptop show 2 networks - one secured and one unsecured. I don't know why. All I want is the secured. Can I uninstall these wireless networks and create a new one? The Vista PC also has a wired?/cabled? network to access the cable modem and NAS. Does this make a difference?

    - Problem with a connection windows XP Home SP3 I have a wired network that has 11 or 12 computers connected all running a mix of XP home & Vista. I have a 3com switched hub with 32 ports and all network cards are 10/100. I have one computer that has a program that gets shared by users on the network and everything works fine except for one laptop running XP home. The laptop can see all of the computers on the network and can share files with all but one. I can access the drive through network neighborhood and move around to all locations on that drive. My problem is that if I try to map the drive like I normally do it says no connections to that system are available. I can go to any other computer on the network and map to the computer with no problem. I am only having the problem with the laptop. I have move the network connection to another port and that didn't help. Two days ago I was able to make the connection and it worked all day with no problem. I am totally confused with this one. Another thing is that I can take the same network cable and move it to another computer and I can work with that one no problem. It is something to do with a setting on the laptop. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- Have A Great Day! Bill Meyer Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288702

    - Correctly set network metrics in XP I have both a wired Ethernet and a wireless access onto the same router. It seems that my XP Pro defaults to the wireless adapter for my network access. How could I set up the network metrics so that my wired network adapter will the priority access? Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288701

    - How to swap between two network connections I've got two users who work between the main site and a remote office. They want to use their laptops to communicate with main office through remote desktop when they are at the remote office. the main site uses fixed Ip addreses, the remote one has single phone point with home type broadband (no fixed Ip). So - if I setup two different ntwork connection icons, how can they easily swap between the two? (Windows XP sp2) Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288700

    - Insufficient access to your computer to connect to selected printe Hello, I work for a school and am having the below problem sporadically in various computer labs. At login, we use a script that executes net use commands to connect to the appropriate printers for individual users. Sometimes the printers are not added correctly, but no error is given at login. We have placed an icon on the desktop which is just a shortcut to \\computername\printername that students can use to install a printer if it didn't auto-install at login. But occassionally when the printers don't automatically install and students try to connect to the printer with this icon they get the message "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer." The weird part is that if they click the icon again and again, eventually it will work - they connect to the printer and are able to use it. Sometimes clicking it a 2nd time works, sometimes it takes up to 10 times, but eventually they are able to connect to the printer. In my research I have seen references to the "Prevent users from installing printer drivers" setting in local security policy which is disabled. I have also seen that people get this error when they do not have access to the spool directory, or they are not power users, neither of which is the case. We will see this in a computer lab sometimes for days or weeks at a time, then it will disappear and return again weeks later. It won't happen to all of the labs at the same time. The printers are HP Laserjet 3500n and 3600n models. We have been having some trouble with their drivers recently which may be related. I have tried removing all users from the security settings on the printer share and readding them. Any ideas what would cause this and why it would be intermittant? Thanks!

    - Remote Desktop Group Policy Problem With the "Set time limit for active Terminal Services session=15min" and "Terminate session when time limits are reached = Enabled" group policieas on a XP client Remote Assistance and Remote Desctop Connection sessions should be terminated after 15min. I have these policies set on all XP clients in case of a Remote Assistence session it works as it is supposed, the session is terminated after 15 min. In case of Remote Desctop Connection session does not terminated at all. Shouldn't these. Any idea why this policies are not applied when RDC is used? Thanks.

    - VPNs Subnets Workgroups NetBIOS traffic, implications XP Pro, Vista I just connected 3 sites with VPNs between each pair of them. I'm trying to get My Network Places to either show or not show the computers at the other sites. At times I can see all the computers and at other times not. I can enable/disable NetBIOS broadcase traffic over the VPNs. This has an effect but I'm not sure what all.... At one point when we had this set up earlier it seemed that the Master Browser for one site was located at another site. I'm sure that the NetBIOS broadcast traffic was enabled in the VPNs. There is no WINS running - this is strictly peer to peer networking. It has served us very well and keeps things simple. The subnets are subnets of 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.128 255.255.255.224 with workgroup of WORKGROUP 192.168.1.160 255.255.255.224 with workgroup of WORKGROUP 192.168.1.192 255.255.255.192 with workgroup of WORKGROUP We have turned off the computer browser service on most computers in an attempt to speed things up and to make them more deterministic. Even so, this means that there are perhaps 2 computers per site that have Computer Browser service started. What I need is a simple system that will allow access to computers from site to site - drive mapping perhaps or at least visibility into shared folders; access to printers; etc. I could turn off NetBIOS broadcast traffic altogether. What would that mean? What does having it enabled do? It appears that having it disabled allows each site's computers to be seen reliably in My Network Places on computers at that site / subnet. I could change the name of the workgroups so they are unique to each subnet. Might that be a good idea? What are the implications? Moving laptops from one to another would be a bit more trouble? I'm OK with accessing computers by their IP addresses and folder share names only. Whatever .... the My Network Places should be consistent at each site and reliable. I'm looking for suggestions as to how to configure things while keeping a peer-to-peer network without WINS, etc. and suggestions as to what to expect with this or that set of settings or possibilities as above. Turn off NetBIOS via the VPNs - Use a common workgroup name. Turn on NetBIOS via the VPNs - Use a common workgroup name. ... I have it this way now Turn off NetBIOS via the VPNs - Use a set of unique workgroup names. Turn on NetBIOS via the VPNs - Use a set of unique workgroup names. I have added persistent routes to *some* of the computers so far so that they point to the VPN when trying to access the other subnets. This is not the case on all computers ..yet. With NetBIOS broadcast traffic enabled on the VPNs, I'm not seeing ANY computers in the My Network Places or Workgroup but it's only been 45 minutes or so..... :( Thanks, Fred Tag: Another "VPN Sign-on Keeps Popping Up" Tag: 288687

I have a VPN connection that I use intermittently, and it has started trying
to connect every time I change webpages. It has "Never dial a connection"
checked.

It seems to think this is the default connection... when the only default
should be the wireless connection (which does NOT have the ability to be
selected as default).

How do I prevent the VPN connection from being the default?

Thanks.
