    - Ethernet: Little or No Connectivity at my wits end! I'm using Service Pack 2. My ethernet connection has the "Little or no connectivity message". It doesn't matter whether it's plugged into another computer with internet sharing, plugged into a router or directly to the cable modem - I can't get an IP address and the connection won't repair. I've done all of the following... - Turned off any third party services. - Scanned for viruses and adware. - Ran Winsock XP Fix - Replaced the old ethernet card with a new one. - Reinstalled Windows XP with SP2 from the disc. - Replaced the ethernet cable. - Disabled Windows Firewall.. The last thing that I did before this started happening was install AOL 9.1 and Avast! Antivirus, but I can't be completely sure. I uninstalled both and that didn't help. When I log in as Administrator in Safe Mode with Networking, everything works fine, so somewhere there must be a glimmer of hope. This is a friends computer with lots of programs, so I don't have the option of formatting the drive and starting over. HELP! Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287702

    - cannot communicate with printer wireless I have installed a Lynksys wireless printer server. Three computers, two laptops with XP Pro and one desktop with XP. All either SP2 or SP3. The wireless server works nicely in that we can print but a dialogue box comes up and says "Printer not responding." Even so, it prints. The problem being that there apparently is not two way communication with the printer across the wireless network and therefore we cannot get the status of the printer, ie ink status. Printer is a Canon Pixma iP4500. Any help out there? -- PROINWV Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287690

    - Migrating to DHCP Believe it or not there are still companies that have IT people that don't depoly DHCP and just so happens I just started working for one such company. Anyways I'm trying to find an easy way to change all the clients (300) over to DHCP from static IP addressing. I've been unable to locate a script, program or GP setting that will assist and I don't want to have to do this manually. Any ideas or suggestions we be great!

    - Denied Access to Workstation & Shares After Crash I have two workstations running Windows XP Pro connected to each other directly via a crossover cable and networked together as a workgroup. The power went off in the office and the UPS for one of the workstations failed. So it went down hard. Ever since then that workstation will no longer allow the other workstation access to its shares, but the other workstation can be accessed just fine. I can't even access that workstation to look at the shares. When users attempted to access that workstation from the problem free workstation they are denied access and their accounts are locked out on the problem workstation. I have verfied that the usernames and passwords are the same on both workstations. When they attempt logon as the adminstrator they get a logon prompt, but of course are still denied access. Regular users don't get a logon prompt. They only got an error saying they do not have access and/or have been locked out. I checked the local security policies on both machines and they are exactly the same. The windows firewall is not running and the service has been stopped entirely on both workstations. The security logs are not full. I was told by a friend that I should check the registry setting under HKLocalMachine > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > Lsa for the crashonauditfail option to verify that it was not set to a 2. I checked and it was set to 1. I set it to 0 to verify that it was not a problem with that. When the users attempted to logon after that, they were given a logon prompt, but still not allowed access to the computer or its shares. However they were no longer being instatnly locked out on that problem workstation. In the Event Viewer security logs it only stays "Unknown username or bad password" in failed event when that user's attempt to access the computer. Any help or suggestions about what to check now would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287676

    - Ping stops responding. Hi, I know that ping failures is a frequent problem, and there is alot of info available on how to troubleshoot this type of problem, but my problem is subtley different from most. I have two computers, (A) is an XP Pro Laptop, (B) is a Windows 2000 Server Desktop. Both have static IP Address, (A) 192.168.1.10 and (B) is 192.168.1.11 Both have subnet masks of 255.255.255.0 (B) and (A) are networked together through a 3Com Hub. These are the only two machines on the network. Quite simple. Anyway, to the problem: 1) (B) cannot ping (A). At all. 2) (A) CAN ping (B), but after a few minutes the ping responses stop with 'request timed out'. There is no firewall running on either machine. I know that is bd practice, but I am trying to solve this intermittent connection problem. So, what could be causing ping packets to be blocked from (B) to (A), and what could cause pings from (A) to (B) to run for a while, before getting 'request timed out'. Any suggestions appreciated.

    - I can not connect to the internet I currently have two computers (both windows XP SP2) connected to cable internet through a Netgear WGR614v7 wireless router, which replaced my old one yesterday, but the problem started way before that. It started with a momentary blackout, which left my old router not working, half a week later, we had some really bad weather (125km/h wind) which gave me multiple blackouts, and, like normal, my router started working again, (don't ask me why, it just always seems to do it.) a couple of days later it finally went dead. my problem is this: my second (newer) computer will no longer connect to the internet. now there are some odd occurrence with this, the light on the router shows up, meaning the computer is connected, but the router does not say that the router is connected when you look at attached devices in the settings. also whenever I turn the computer on, it tells me that the network connection has 'limited or no connectivity' due to an nonrenewable IP, and when i look at the values for the connection, it shows up the physical address, it comes up as 169.254.202.29, rather than 192.168.1.3, as it should. i have tried everything i can thing of, tested the Ethernet cable, reinstalled netwwork adapter, new router, tried with different Ethernet cables. but none have succeeded, does anybody have any ideas at all or should i just try re-installing windows?

    - XP Firewall - replacing 'netfw.inf' on client machines. A little background. We recently completed a migration to a new network and domain (~1200 clients) and I need to deploy a firewall setting change to all systems to reflect the scope change for some of the allowed applications (for example, SMS Remote). All the clients that existed before the migration have scopes that are no longer valid for the allowed applications. All clients deployed after the migration are using a different image so their scopes are set correctly. Can anyone recommend the best route to remedy this? I don't believe Group Policy is the right way as we are not looking to introduce new exceptions but rather edit the existing ones on the older clients. I was thinking that replacing the "netfw.inf" (with the desired settings) and running "netsh firewall reset" would be the best route. After some thought though, I am concerned as to what would happen to the exceptions that existed on some clients that may not be included in the updated "netfw.inf" (ie: applications that the users themselves have installed. Not all systems have the same apps installed). Would they disappear? Thank you. Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287654

    - Cannot Ping or see two of three workgroup PC's All of a sudden.. two desktops cannot see each other. The two desktops can see only the laptop. Computers A, B, and C. B being the laptop. A and C can ping B But B, cannot ping A or C, nor can A ping C, or C to A. All in the same workgroup. All firewalls shut off. I am not sure if it is possible.. but can the installation of ACT on A cause this problem? I am thinking that an update was made on the two desktops and changed a setting. I recall a registry change to a "zero" setting for a fix.. but this may be for something else.... Any thoughts appreciated. Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287642

    - something happend to ssl certs. All websites broken Hey guys, as of yesterday something happened to my computer and now any website I go to that uses SSL is broken. I've tried with firefox and IE and it's the same problem. I mostly use firefox so I took screenshots of the errors in that since I'm not sure how to view the certs in IE. I've taken a few screenshots you can see in this gif. A new snap loads every 2 seconds. A quick note about the first image. My home page is yahoo.com but the cert error is *.google.com my only guess might be that I am using the google notebook plugin but regardless I shouldn't be getting these errors at all. As you'll notice all the certs I "examined" show that they are "not part of a certificate". So something is definitely messed up on my pc. I've reinstalled firefox and am current on windows update but no luck. I don't get this problem on any other computer. http://buggyonpurpose.com/random/cert-problems.gif I'd appreciate ANY help I can get because this is quite annoying. One site in particular wont load at all for me when it goes into ssl mode. It's as if the website doesn't exist but I know better of course (it's my own site!)

    - Disabling Automatic Redial I have 2 comps on a LAN, both of which connect to ISP via the client. Everything works well. On both comps, the Internet Options/Connections are set to "Never dial a connection" The problem is that when we are intentionally off line, occasionally something is causing an (automatic?) redial. I have no idea which machine is doing this, or how to find out (in a reasonable amount of time). It is causing a real problem with our fax setup, however. Is there some way to prevent this auto redial, or at least find out what is causing it? Both comps are WinXP, SP2, IE6 and OE6 - pretty standard otherwise, although both have acquired a number of special apps over their lifetime (2 - 3 years). Appreciate any suggestions.

    - How many PCs allowed under XP Home? We have 6 PCs that seem to be networked to each other successfully under XP Home. However, upon installing a network printer (that appears as a PC under MS Network) we now seem to have problem connecting. Also, we have an Apple and 2 laptops that can connect wirelessly. Could the problem be down to having too many PCs under XP Home? We have one PC that has XP Pro but we don't have a server. Sometimes the PCs can connect to the printer but sometimes they can't, it's very random. The printer is an Epson Aculaser C100N. Thank you for your attention and any advice you can give us. David H.

    - No network access, winlogon.exe 50% Beginning on Monday of last week I have 5 workstations and counting (amongst 400) that have lost the ability to connect to and authenticate to our network server shares or AD but yet are able to access the internet. The issue is also not limited to the individual user profile as our own (admin) logins on the affected systems also fail to reach these servers from affected machines. An error of "no path found" or "you may not have proper permissions" occurs. The other identifiable feature is that the winlogon.exe process is consuming 50% of the CPU capacity. The system responds to a ping, and can ping other systems including the systems with shares that can't be accessed. Nbtstat, shows nothing listed. Running F-Port revealed that most of the communications ports pid's were Not tied to a directory (McAfee and RDT did). I have tried practically everything I can think of: >Ran Full McAfee scan, removed & reinstalled McAfee 8.5i >Ran process explorer- nothing unusual >Ran Rootkit revealer- no root kits seen >Ran WireShark, nothing obvious was evident >Removed system from Domain >Unchecked and Re-installed Client for MS Neworks & File & Print from local network connection. >Tried connecting to vpn, failed >Ran sfc, no errors > Ran netsh int ip reset, seemed to hang, fail Any ideas or help appreciated!

    - Windows Xp User Synchronise Hello! I have been reading a articel from knowledgebase. The web adress for it is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811660/en I have been for a long time trying to fix that issue without reinstalling windows and what exactly my hypothetic solution is, that you just clean the whole list through some way so you just get the synch path from one use on one single computer. I have ben reading many more articels about this and it seems like this is possible to do by reseting one key in regedit. Im wondering if someone could tell me exactly what key is it that i should reset in regedit and how in order to clean the list and so i dont get a list from many previous users and just to make it clear i dont what to put them on inactivity i just want the list to be fresh and clean from scratch.

    - AOL Broadband / Win XP networking confliction I set up the router on PC1 using the AOL disk and instructions provided, connecting by Ethernet. Set up PC2 using AOL disk and network adaptor. Shared 'Shared Documents' from PC1 with PC2. PC1 is shown amongst 'My Network Places' on both PCs, but can't make PC2 visable on PC1. Have tried Network Wizards.

    - HSDPA and LAN Hi folks, I'm on a company LAN with very restricted internet policies. I also have a mobile phone with a HSDPA connection. I have set this up to connect and the connection is working fine. If I use either the local area connection or the phone connection, everything works as expected. With the former I get all access to local servers, the Intranet, and restricted access to the Internet. With the latter I get unrestricted access to the Internet but no local access. If I activate BOTH though, it behaves erratically. Sometimes I don't get internet access. Sometimes I don't get local access. Sometimes I don't get ANY access. The moment I disable one of the two connections, it reverts back to normal behaviour for the remaining connection. I guess, ignoramus as I am, that this must have something to do with Routing? Would anyone have the patience to help a complete n00b out? Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287591

    - DNS resolution not working Hi, I have a problem with DNS resolution on a few desktops on our network. They randomly stop being able to resolve DNS names within applications other then nslookup. This is what works and doesnt. nslookup: works fine, resolves the host names. ping: fails on resolving the host name, but will ping if ip address is entered. ie: fails on host name, works on ip. Tried ipconfig /flushdns, doesnt fix the problem. But "ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew" fixes the problem for a while. The DNS is working fine, as nslookup works and other computers on the network are not affected. the problem appears to be location on the desktop, but I am not sure what is causing it, driver problem? I have searched for this and found a few other peopel else where have had a similar problem but no solution was found. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287586

    - Exclamation mark impossibile to avoid on any nic 8139 I have a great problem on XP Pro Sp2. Notice: Hardware P4 dual and nic realtek 8139 fully working. Tested with any kind of Linux. No virus. No troyan. Tried sfc/scannnow and reinstallation over current XP starting from CD. I've tried everything, even started with UBCD4Win (avoiding the lock on hardware profiles in the registry) and deleting every reg entry I can found bounded to the nic, and every drivers present in the HD, inf, and even from .cab archive cache. I have disabled the nic, installed a new one, and I got the same problem again. I've serched hidden nic, but I don't see any other nic ( Tested various drivers, from the original bounded with the nic (and is for XP) to new realtek update of this year. NOTHING! Everytime I reinstall the nic/driver, everything seems OK, but finally XP says (sorry for traslation because my system is Italian located) that it can find a file. I don't know what file because it says nothing about this file. Every kind of driver i tested say that. Do you have any procedure to check every single step XP do to reach that bad result? A system to debug the problem step, by step finding why Xp end to that result? Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287584

    - can't connect to computer I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer networked together. The desktop is running XP home, the laptop Pro. Both computers see the other one in the "view workgroup computers" and my laptop can access my desktop, but when I try to access the laptop from the desktop I get an error message stating that my laptop is unavailable and I might not have permission to access that resource. Why is this and how can I fix it? Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287579

    - Wit's End with Networking Here's my deal: I have four computers. One is an iMac hardwired to my Belking router. The other three are laptops--one MacBook and two PC's running XP Pro. All four can access the internet, three of them wirelessly. My Macs can see each other, share files, copy files, etc. I'd like my PC's to do the same. I don't care if the PC's can see the Macs. I'd like to be able to share files between the two PC's, since one is in a remote part of the house. My problem: Everything I've tried, using HP help, Microsoft help and a next door neighbor who claims expertise on PC's has proven unsuccessful. I've put in about six hours on this and I'm where the title of this post suggests. Isn't there a simple way to have these two computers recognize each other? Thanks in advance.

    - Can't ping my PC from the internet My PC has two network cards... One is an onboard gigabit connected to my LAN. The LAN is connected to a router, as are other PCs on my LAN. The router is connected to a cable modem. The second NIC is a 10/100mbit PCI card connected directly to another cable modem. The GigE NIC is hardcoded to an IP on my private network with the following settings: IP: 10.0.11.16 Mask: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 10.0.11.1, 64.59.135.143 Gateway: 10.0.11.1 Gateway metric: 100 (previously auto) Interface metric: 100 (previously auto) The 10/100 NIC pulls a dynamic IP from my cable internet provider and currently has the following settings: IP: 68.145.38.197 Mask: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 64.59.135.143, 64.59.135.145 Gateway: 68.145.36.1 Gateway metric: auto Interface metric: auto The router is configured with my private network info on the LAN side and dynamic settings pulled from my cable internet provider on the WAN side. Currently configured as follows: LAN side... IP: 10.0.11.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.0.11.1 WAN side: IP: 68.145.78.218 DNS: 64.59.135.143 Gateway: 68.145.76.1 At this point I'm unable to connect to any services on the 100mb port, and up until my last settings changes and reboot I was not even able to ping the 100mb port. My last change was to put the gateway and interface metrics on the GigE port to 100 to ensure any remote traffic was going through that interface, and to keep my local LAN traffic on the GigE interface. I believe I should not have applied a metric to the GigE interface though. At this point I cannot connect to any services on either port. Before my last settings change I was able to connect the the remote desktop through the GigE interface, but not any longer. What I am trying to do: - Any PC on my LAN, except this one, should use the internet connection through the router. - This PC should pass local LAN traffic over the GigE port only. - This PC should pass internet traffic over the 100mb port only. The PC's on my LAN are all hardcoded for the 10.0.11.0/24 network. Gateway is 10.0.11.1. This appears to be working. This PC does not consistantly pass it's internet traffic through the 100mb port. I've tried removing the gateway IP from the GigE port, changing the gateway metric to 100, and finally the interface metric to 100. What should I be doing to make this work???

    - domain not visible some time after system start Hi, we have a small network with a NT domain. A XP Home SP2 computer - it was not my decision to put a Home edition on the network - has to access a shared printer on another PC. All other computers can access the shared printer on this PC so that I think that the only problem is this XP home computer. The problem is that this XP home PC does not see the NT domain after a system start. But after some time the domain is visible with net view /domain. The fact that the NT domain is not visible during startup results in a failing net use lpt2: \\PC_with_the _shared_printe\shared_printer r command. The first thing what I discovered is that ipconfig /all shows the node type as "unknown". The solution of Microsoft is to set the EnableProxy value in the registry to 0 or 1 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310570/en-us). This has no effect on this PC, the node type is still "unknown". I could not find a second solution. Also PCuck's Website has only this solution (http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/05/address-resolution-on-lan.html). Because the importance of a clean name resolution is often stressed I want to have a clear value here. What I have to do? The second thing is that browstat status shows: Status for domain ktsntdom on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{0094402A-76BF-48C6-B6B3-1B5BAD6C72FA} Browsing is active on domain. Master browser name is: KTS9 Could not connect to registry, error = 5 Unable to determine build of browser master: 5 Unable to determine server information for browser master: 5 2 backup servers retrieved from master KTS9 \\HOME \\KTS9 There are 8 servers in domain ktsntdom on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{0094402A-76BF-48C6-B6B3-1B5BAD6C72FA} There are 2 domains in domain ktsntdom on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{0094402A-76BF-48C6-B6B3-1B5BAD6C72FA} KTS9 is a NT server so that we don't have Guest authentication here what could cause the error = 5. Because none of the other computers show this error with browstat, firewall and antivirus problems can be excluded on the master browser, I think. I looked up the restrictanonymous setting on KTS9 - it was not set. A browser conflict should be detectable with the output of browstat. So I have checked all points from PChuck's website (http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/mysterious-error-5-aka-access-denied.html). What else could cause this error? What can cause the delay until the NT domain is detected? No other computer has that delay! Sorry for still not migrating to AD but I want to wait for a stable Windows Server 2008. I t was not really necessary to migrate for me. Thanks a lot. Uwe Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287552

    - File and Printer Sharing I have Windows XP connected by a simple cross-over CAT5 cable to a computer with Windows ME. I am extremely frustrated, in that the detailed Microsoft instructions constantly divert me to connecting the other (ME) computer to the Internet. To heck with the Internet, I want to share my files and printer with the ME computer, and eventually to make the ME computer the host and reverse the sharing. I can ping the ME computer from the XP and get a good response. Invoking My Network Places doesn't show the ME computer from the XP computer and vice-versa. Where the heck are the instructions / Wizard that lets me GO FORWARD to share files and printer? HELP! Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287546

    - Keep losing access to network Hi, Hope some of you experts can help me with this one. I have a simple network set up of 8 machines. I am using Machine #1 as a basic "file server". I have the Workgroup all set up and everything is working fine. But.... for some reason, every now and then the network will not let my users in when they try to access it. It's like a configuration or a permission or something just disppears or dies. And, today, for some reason, I can't even access the Network from my main machine (Machine #1). Each of my users are getting the error message, Unable to access the network.. you might not have permissions... etc". This just seems so rediculous to me as it was working just fine a day ago. We had done nothing to any of the systems to change anything. I even went in and tried to "repair" the network connection, but it didn't help. It's all out there, it just won't let some of my machines connect which used to. So, I am hoping one of you experts has the quick solution to this. Thanks! avi Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287541

    - XP home network stopped working I need some help as I have run out of ideas. I have a simple XP Home network consisting of a desktop with 2 harddrives and a laptop with both wired and wireless connections. I have had 2 changes to my network lately and I can't figure out which one (or both) caused the problem. 1. I recently reformatted the desktop and reinstalled XP, when I did this I chose a new name for my computer. 2. I installed comodo firewall and avast a/v on the laptop, was not happy with them and uninstalled both, i now run AVG a/v and the windows firewall on both machines. The Problem: I ran the network setup wizard on both machines with MSHOME as the workgroup. I can access the laptop via the desktop through "view workgroup computers" without a problem. On the laptop I mapped over to the desktop's second harddrive so I can store photos, etc there. This mapping disconnects after a while and if I ping the desktop the mapping will work again for a while then repeats the cycle. I can browse to the desktop by putting the name into Explorer. Also on the laptop I cannot see the 2 computers in "view workgroup computers", I either get an error saying "the network path was not found" or "the list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available" What I have done so far: I have run the network wizard several times I dloaded the resource kit, opened command shell and typed ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -u Guest ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -u Guest ntrights +r SeNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone ntrights -r SeDenyNetworkLogonRight -g Everyone Restrictanonymous is set to 0 on both machines I disabled the computer browser service on the laptop Both are running XP Home sp2, I am focusing on the laptop more because the errors occur when trying to browse to the desktop, should I be focusing on the desktop instead? I just want to be able to share the second drive and print to the desktop's printer but the mapping keeps failing on me then a ping will bring it back for a while. Thanks for your help Tag: Cannot set up VPN connection on WinXp Home box Tag: 287531

    - GET ME OFF MY DOMAIN!!! So I decided I wanted to set up a network for my wife and I to both use my printer without her having to find and install the printer software. It didn't work as well as I wanted it to and it left me with this old version of Windows schemes and no picture in my Start Menu. I read a couple articles on this and it said if your computer belongs to a domain/network you can not get a picture and it is in some kind of safe-mode. So how do I get off of the domain?

Hi --

When setting up a new network connection on a WinXP Home machine, what would
cause the "Virtual Private Network" option under "Connect to a network at my
workplace" to be dimmed and unavailable?

The computer _does_ have an Internet connection.

Thanks,
CL
