    - Static Routing in XP Hello, I had a few questions regarding static routes. Here's the setup: On my XP Pro machine, I have created 2 persistent static routes, both pointing to the same subnet, going through two different routers (primary and backup). route -p add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.253 metric 1 route -p add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.254 metric 10 The data is very time-sensitive, so I cannot have much failover latency. If my primary route (through .253) goes down, A) How long will it take to fail over to the backup? B) Will XP then ignore the primary route and consider the backup as the primary, or will XP keep checking to see if the primary is up every so often (how often)? C) If my primary goes back up again, will traffic then shift back to it? Thank you, Anthony Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289114

    - Http connection stops working after installing June Security Updat I'm at the end of my rope. I've been using my Dell Inspiron 9300 (XPSP2) for nearly 3 years without incident. The only change ever made to the laptop is that which autoupdate delivers- as I call, the "monthly visitor". After the June Security updates, I lose HTTP connections after about 10 mins (rebooting brings it back) Https and FTP still work. I can ping external- such as www.hotmail.com MSN Messenger still works. Network Monitor shows only that the remote server "resets" or refuses the connection. I am running over a HNS Directway satellite connection. If I dial up over my modem to PeoplePC, AND vpn into my corp network, then the problem does not display itself. (Cisco Vpn Client) It does not make a difference if I run over my wireless router, or plug the cable into my laptop. It also doesn't make a difference if I drive to starbucks, and attempt to get online via their TMobile hotspot. Same results. Running in Safe Mode w/Networking does not display the problem. System restore to checkpoint earlier than updates fails. Have run every scan known to mankind- turned off Windows Firewall, Disabled my Symantec Antivirus and nothing helps. I've also reset the tcp/ip stack using netsh winsock reset- twice. The problem began after the first automatic download of June updates. I suspected KB951376 to be the problem, as it was the only patch (BlueTooth) that seemed like it could affect my networking. I removed this update, and eventually ALL of the June updates. The problem went away, then returned. I went away for the weekend, came back- and autoupdate had lovingly reinstalled all of the updates for me. My computer restarted on its own accord, and I was working fine for the rest of the week. Not one to dismiss a stroke of good luck, I went merrily on my way. The problem returned on Friday. A check of installed updates showed that the KB in question was back- only in a V2. Removed V2, but the problem persisted. Checked the registry, and found the KB was still installed- Looked again, and noticed that V2 didn't replace the original KP951376, and it was installed as well. Removed it. The problem still exists. In summary- No http. Yes https. Yes FTP. Yes Ping. Yes Telnet. Can anyone offer some advice? Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289099

    - telnet logging Hello I'm trying to log on my brother's computer in our house LAN to help him rather than going to his room, I'm using MS-Dos telnet. so when I type <telnet Ipaddress port> it just shows a black screen.

    - Sharing Connection with STB Forgive my ignorance, i tried to read the forum but couldnt find something similar. I have winxp on my laptop connected wirelessly to DSL router. I have a VPN connection to external network. What i want to do is to be able to connect an STB (satellite receiver, with network setup enabled) through the VPN connection i have on my laptop. I connected the STB to laptop with an ethernet cable. now i have in Network Connections: Wireless network connection, Local Area connection, and local area connection 2 (with the VPN IP). Can someone guide me how i can let the STB connect throught the VPN connection. What is the IP and Gateway that i need to put in both Local Area Connection and in the STB network settings. If i need to enable the "enable users on the network to connect through this computer network connection" on which connection should i enable it, and then what do i select under "home networking connection" Maybe i am doing it the wrong way, and it's not enabling that option that should resolve this issue? I appreciate your kind help. Thanks. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289091

    - restricting internet at work I have 10 workstations and a server at my workplace. The computers are all shared by all employees, so it is impossible to know who is sneaking looks at restricted sites. Is it possible to funnel all the workstations through a common gateway that will only allow websites that I want them to have access to? I would like to be able to enter a list of 10-15 websites and restrict all other internet traffic to the workstations. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289088

    - Problem using RDC Web Connection Hello and thanks in advance. Here is what I have done thus far. 1. Configured Host Computer with IIS. No prob 2. Configured Host Computer with my own Port #. No prob 3. Configured Router to Forward My Port# & Port 3389. No prob I can connect to my computer at work from another computer & visa-versa ex: my co-worker comp to mine and mine to my co-worker comp. By the way we are on DSL here at work. So my issue is when I disconnect my DSL and connect to the internet thru dial-up modem and then try to connect to my co-workers comp thru the IE browser it seems to be searching but nothing happens. Here is what I did. http://co-worker IP:co-worker PORT/tsweb Then I tried something else was to enter our Router Gateway IP instead of co-workers http://Router IP/co-worker PORT/tsweb This time the Web Log in Box showed, I clicked CONNECT and it tried to search but then I got an Remote Desktop Disconnected error. Hope someone can help me out on this. Hard to find answers on the web. If more info is needed please ask. KJG Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289087

    - Isolating wired and wireless clients I am trying to determine the most effective (and cost-efficient) way to isolate wired and wireless connections on the following setup: I currently have a building with 15 ethernet connections to the Internet. At three of the locations, a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v8) will be used to: 1. share the network connection via ethernet with two computers 2. provide wireless connectivity I am not concerned w/ wired computers communicating with other wired computers. But I do not want any communication between wired and wireless computers. Any good ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Solutions that I have dismissed: I believe the Linksys WRT54G v8 does not have native support for VLANs. (Perhaps an alternative firmware like dd-wrt? I believe this would be one of the easiest solutions, but I worry about installing third-party firmware and, in the future, leaving it in another person's hands that isn't familiar w/ such.) I could buy another router for each and utilize double NAT, but that would be another $150+ (not including deals) and could - or so I've heard - limit some services (most notably VPN?). I am open to suggestions about securing the "post-NIC" side of the connection, but I would prefer to plug & go without extra configuration (e.g. static IP w/ software firewall). Also, any additional resources/web sites for further clarification or explanation would be appreciated. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289078

    - network storage device permissions I have a network storage device (more specifically a BuffaloTech LinkStation) and a PC with Windows MCE 2005: I like it but whenever I connect an external USB drive to it I can only read/execute whats on the drive (NOT the internal drive to the linkstation BUT the drive that's connected to the linkstations usb ports), I can't move, delete, or rename files/folders (or even create a new file) but i can seem to copy files to the device. Under LinkStation settings, I have shared folders for the USB drive: Shared folder support: Windows, ftp, backup Shared folder attributes: read/write recycle bin disabled access restrictions enabled (with proper username/passwords as on windows) and under web access settings i am using in herited folder permissions. -- Woodzy http://resumes.hotjobs.com/proteanthread/pbxadministration http://www.aimpages.com/rtdos/profile.html Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289068

    - LAN question re "others logged on to computer" I periodically get a messasge "other people are logged on to your computer; shutting down will cause them to lose their information" "Do you still want to shutdown?"

    - share my printer between 2 computers and surf with 2 computers at Hello all, People probably asked you a thousand times but I can't manage to gather the information I need by searching the web so here is my situation: I have a pc with windows XP home SP3 upstairs and a HP Deskjet 916c printer which is upstairs too. Downstairs I have a notebook with windows xp professional and also a motorola sb5100E modem. What I do now to surf the web with my notebook is pull the cable (UTP with RJ45 connector) that comes from my pc upstairs out of my modem (which is downstairs) and then connect my notebook with another shorter UTP cable to the modem. For printing I go upstairs with my notebook and take the usb cable out of my pc to plug it into my notebook. I know there's a much easier way without having to plug out cables all the time but I'm a total noob when it comes to networking issues. To summarise, I would like to: 1a. avoid swapping cables all the time 1. share one printer between 2 computers without having both computers turned on all the time (one computer may be off while printing from the other). 2. be able to surf the net with both computers simultaneously is not a must but if it's easy to setup it's always welcome. What kind of hardware would I have to buy for this? I read about switches, hubs, routers, print servers and I don't have a clue what the difference is, let go how to set it up. Important thing to add: I like to play online games from time to time and I read that routers can be quite tricky when you want to forward ports so I'm a bit reluctant about routers unless you can convince me otherwise (I find it already hard enough trying to figure out how to program my firewall). Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289062

    - Limited Connectivity I've just brought my laptop (running XP pro) back from university, where the internet worked perfectly fine. Now I've hooked it up to my home network (3 computers connected to a router, connected to a dsl modem) and suddenly I'm getting a the limited or no connectivity message and cannot access the internet at all any more. I've tried repairing the connection, which falls at the first hurdle by not being able to renew my IP. I've done an ipconfig /release and /renew to no effect. I've tried different cables and different ports on the router, which again did nothing. I've also tried deleting and reinstalling my network drivers and even the network connection itself but still no change. I even did a complete format and reinstall of XP, but yet again nothing changed. I'm completely stumped, if you have any ideas whatsoever I'd be really grateful.

    - How do I get the LAN card to work? I have 2 PCs. One is using realtek LAN card and the other is using Dlink LAN card. The realtek LAN card worked fine on either PC. The Dlink LAN card always get the message limited or no connectivity. How do I resolve this problem? I have already downloaded and installed the Dlink LAN driver for that card but to no avail. Current situation is as follow: I'm using cable modem connected to DSL router with 4 ports, one being the LAN/WAN port. The PC with the Realtek LAN card can connect to the internet without problem but not the PC with the Dlink LAN card. If i setup static local IP on both PC, both PC can communicate without problem which I concluded that the Dlink LAN card is not faulty. Help will be much appreciated.

    - managing a home network with Spiceworks hi folks i've got a small home computer network running thru an SMC Barricade router. 3 are XP machines, one is NT4, they all run either Zone Alarm or Kerio firewalls in combo with the innate XP firewall. I've downloaded "Spiceworks", mostly as a learning toy, to help me understand how to do simple network troubleshooting. the bad news is, I've never been able to sucessfully "see" the other computers thru my Explorer network window. only the shared folders. and none at all on the NT4 system. spiceworks asks me for my remote admin priveleges on all my computers. is there any way I can create this type of privelege on the XP/NT machines, to allow Spiceworks to log in to these machines? thanks for any help!

    - 9 or 10 user connection limit? Does XP have a 9 or a 10 user connection limit for file sharing stuff? I've only seen references to there being a 10 user limit, but I've always seen XP reject the 10th connection thereby limiting to only 9 users. I'm verifying the connected sessions by opening Computer Manager and under "Shared Folders / Sessions"...it only shows nine user sessions (refusing the 10th).

    - Help, Can connect to shared computers by IP, but not PC Name I am setting up a small network of 15 PC's, 6 Mac's, and 1 Unix Machine and have run into an issue on MY laptop. I am behind a ISP controlled router and use static IP addresses and DNS. I have reset ALL of the PC's (XP Home, XP Pro, 98, & Vista) to only use TCP/IP. When doing this only my laptop lost connectivity to the network when I removed NWLink Protocol from all the computers. I am connecting from my LAN card and have dissabled both the wireless and 1394 Connection. I have read all the websites, made sure my windows firewall has the file sharing exception, ensured the computer browser is started, enabled and disabled a guest account, checked restrictanonymous is set to 0, ensured the IP & DNS addresses were right, and I got the computer to log into shared computers (Mac & PC's) by their IP address. I don't want to manually force a computername to a IP address because this is a laptop and I want to use it on multiple networks. Can anyone help me make XP figure out that \\ACER is the same as \\192.168.100.01? Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289041

    - Wireless Networking - 2 computers Hello - I have a PC running XP Media Center, and a new laptop running XP Professional. I was successful in setting up my wireless router - both computers can access the Internet. I've shared folders, but cannot map a network drive - "it can't find network path". I've turned off my Windows Firewall . . . I can "ping" back and forth. As you can see, I need help!!! A friend says it's some kind of firewall issue? I removed Norton from my new laptop . . . and don't have any security (yet) on my PC. I contacted the router company . . . they said "it's not our problem, since you can access the internet". Many thanks to anyone that can help! Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289039

    - internet explorer 7 will not connect to the internet I am running windows xp home with sp2. My internet currently works in Firefox (I am posting this from firefox), but when I try to open internet explorer, I get a message saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I have run many adware finding programs and they are coming up empty. I believe it is more than internet explorer because programs like the zune software cannot connect to the marketplace, and Steam can't display the shop either. Any time my computer needs to use internet explorer for software, it completely dies. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289033

    - All XP home LAN - file-sharing stubborn bewteen just 2 systems I'm in the UK and have a Main computer (XP) that connects by ethernet to the BT Home Hub H (version 6.2.6.E) and a wireless LAN consisting of 3 other desktops and a laptop, all XP. I've had no big problems over the months I've set up file- and printer-sharing other than the typical Zone Alarm matters of ensuring the IP range is covered. I've suddenly lost file-sharing ("not accessible... might not have permission... network path not found") between the laptop and the Main desktop. Neither wishes to share with the other, although they see each other, and ping each other ok, as do all the others. All the others are ok and can file-share as normal amongst themselves and the Main one. The laptop shares OK with the others. It's just the laptop and Main that are having a spat. I've tried in vain setting up a whole new network name. I've tried in vain opening a new folder in each to share in the hope it might trigger some action. And I tried in vain deactivating Zone Alarm on both at the same time. I feel sure it's an XP file-sharing issue, but can think of nothing else to try. File-sharing is not something I do on a regular basis between the laptop and the Main system, but I suspect that this may be a post SP3 symptom - SP3 is on all systems now. I've enabled the Guest account on both systems. Any ideas please? Miles Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289017

    - Long delay in copying small files on shared drive Client PC: WinXP SP3 Server: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Ed. SP2 Problem: Often, but not always, when using Windows Explorer to copy a small group (about 3) of small (under 1K) text files from one folder to another on the same mapped drive, it will take about 30 seconds to a minute before the overwrite confirm dialog box appears. After confirming the copy, the file progress bar appears for another period much longer than should be necessary to copy files of this size. When copying the same files using the Copy command, there is no noticeable delay. The following packet trace shows a three instances of a long delay. Each seems to involve a TCP request that looks like: TCP wfremotertm > microsoft-ds [ACK] Seq=7911 Ack=10372 Win=65089 [TCP CHECKSUM INCORRECT] Len=0 There are no retransmissions, so I think the incorrect checksum is due to hardware offload, correct? The delays occur around packets 115, 264, 310, 362, & 434 Can anyone tell me what's causing this?

However, after closed the "network neighborhood" window and re-click again. Since, I always need to use that function in sharing files with other PCs. In other SP2 PCs, there is no such problem. Does the problem cause by SP3? Any solution is to solve it? Or, downgrade to SP2? Thanks Tlee Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 289011

    - telnet.exe logging in anomaly I am not sure if this is an anomaly.. but it happened today when I was messing with telnet. SFS off. So, using AFS. So, Classic user authentication. CompA, CompB. CompA connecting to CompB. Both had an account called Admin (matching passwords, prob matching fullname) To connect, I guess it logs in as whoever is logged in on CompA. So I was running telnet.exe from the command prompt, and using RunAs (in a bat to speed things up). So I could launch a command prompt as Admin for example, and then do telnet compB 23 If the Admin account on CompA was made Limited/LUA. i.e. removed from the administrative group, (CompB's Admin account, is Administrative) Then I found that in order to log on onto compB, CompB had to be logged in as Admin. If CompB was logged in as anybody else, be it, built in administrator (which is administrative). Or, as some limited user. CompA could not connect to it. I would get an error "Failure in initializing the telnet session. Shell process may not have been launched..........", when I tried to connect and CompB was not logged in as Admin locally. I think it gave that error message repeatedly e.g. 3 times in a row if I tried 3 times. So that was where CompA had Admin limited. compB had it administrative. But after alot of fiddling around, I am not sure what changed things, but now Admin acts like the other accounts. I can't reproduce the behaviour. Even if CompA's Admin account is limited it still works . Any ideas what would cause that? note- regarding that Failure error message, I managed to cause it another way, which eventually I couldn't reproduce. I found that if I made the Admin account non administrative on the remote machine, and logged in locally on the remote machine, as Admin, then it could not read the Admin folder. With that symptom, the other symptom was that when I logged in remotely as Admin, it would give the failure message. (note- with that cause of that failure, I think it only gives that error once or twice.. if you keep trying to log in, it logs in as TMP and as Admin.001 and things. And so I then fixed the Admin account to point to the Admin directory, restarted windows 'cos you have to. ) It's not of great practical consequence.. though useful to know how it is working. But it does mean that You can get failure messages the other odd behaviour described when connecting CompA to compB, and one of them is Limited the other Administrative. So it's nice to know a cause for that.. Since I got it in win xp 32- bit, and the windows kb article said it was a 64-bit thing. The KB article suggested something involving something like starting and stopping and unregistering and registering tlntsvr. (one might have to start it through the gui not command line, when I tried it I got an error from command line when starting it). It didn't make a diff for me anyway. The other thing I found was to make sure that the service "Secondary Login" was started (some people had their disabled or disabled theirs because a windows 2k3 security book or something said to) That didn't apply to me either, since mine was started anyway.

    - Timing out a client side deviceless connection Can anyone tell me if there is a way to time out a deviceless connection on the client side? I understand that the server side will timeout after a default of 15 minutes, but this does not help me. I don't need the deviceless connection to persist during the users logon session on the client side. I need it to timeout to force the user to authenticate again, because the next connection could possibly be a different user. The PC is a domain member and is auto-logged on to a local generic account on the PC and not to a domain account. This is necessary because this is a multi-user PC for our hospitals surgery department with one single LOB application loaded that connects back to the server with it's own user management. This application is used to chart surgical cases that may last longer than the nurses shift, so someone else comes in and continues charting the case. The software is on the PC (instead of a terminal server session) because if for some reason the PC losses connection to the server, the case charting software continues charting in local cached mode and will upload the information when the server becomes available again, thus the charting software must always be available during the case. But there are times where the user needs to connect to domain resources. So, our IT surgical support person has placed shorcuts to the necessary resources on the "All Users" desktop of the 11 operating room PC's that we have (as opposed to creating the shortcuts on each of the 70 support staffs desktops in their profiles and any new users that come along) What I need to happen is an authentication request to take place each time the resource is opened up. This happens with the first connection attempt because the account performing the connection is not a domain member and an authentication request takes place. The user will login with his own username and password which provides us with accountability (instead of the PC being logged on with a generic domain account with access to the resources). But once the user closes the resource, subsequent connection attempts occur under the last successfully authenticated user, even though their shift may have ended hours ago and the PC's logon session is still ongoing for another person who has come along to continue charting the surgical case. If you go to disconnect network drives, you see a deviceless connection that you can disconnect and this will force an authentication the next time the resource is accessed. How can I have this connection either locally disconnect after a length of time (as opposed to the server disconnecting after the default 15 minutes and still leaving the deviceless connection on the client side), or prevent the logon credentials from being cached (via the client side deviceless connection) for that connection so when the resource is closed, new connections must authenticate again? If this cannot be done via XP, can it be done in Vista? -- Thanks, Leonard (Bones) McCoy Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 288979

    - response time (for failure) is slow when accessing share and computer if I double click a network share e.g. "My Network Places" dirblah on GREYCOMP and GREYCOMP is off. It takes ages to realise it.. The window even crashes with a "not responding".. (same if I have a mapped drive to the network share and double click that) And if I double click it again, it does the same s-l-o-w- response again, not just a slow response, but windows looks unhealthy at the time. I can't click .any icon within the "My Network Places" after I have clicked a share where the remote computer where the share is, is off. (it is acting as if there is great cpu or ram utilization, though I don't think there is, but it's not a nice symptom). Is there a way to make it timeout quicker ? Yes, it should fail and give an error, but quicker. And pref without the bad behaviour. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 288977

    - ICS: Everything works except sending mails I'm at a friend who uses WLAN to connect his Windows XP SP 2 (Home) laptop to the Internet. I've setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on his laptop and connected my Windows XP SP 2 (Pro) laptop with an Ethernet cable. I can use various Internet services successfully except one: If I want to send a mail in Outlook the program tells me that no connection could be established with the mail server. I know it's wrong as I can receive mails from the mail server successfully. As I've a few accounts in Outlook I also know that this problem is not related to one mail server. In fact I can't send any mail currently at all (no matter what account and mail server I try to use). I've setup ICS a couple of times before successfully. If there was a problem the Internet connection normally just didn't work at all. It's the first time that I see all Internet services working and accessible except one. Any ideas what could cause the problem? I tried already to switch off an anti-virus program on my friend's laptop and even shutdown my own anti-virus program but it didn't help so far.

As I found out deleting a network is not possible so my thought was repairing XP. The question is: will that solve the problem or will the network still be there? If so, would a re-install do the trick? Thanks a lot in advance for your help! Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 288959

    - Internet connection times out System running XP sp3. Internet is DSL. Everytime my friend connects to the internet it is fine for 10-15 mins and then just stops saying that the connection has timed out. If you restart the computer it does the same again. Both connections tried work fine on all other computers. I tried his computer at my house and still had the same problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the network adaptor drivers, uninstalling and re-installing Internet explorer and firefox, setting up a new connection, i have also tried installing a different network card. I am now at a loss as to what to check next. The last time this happened i was downloading an updated driver for his netwrok adaptor and, although the internet would not work, the download continued. Any ideas. Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 288947

    - Byte differences... Hello all, Recently I've built a machine and decided on moving files from one machine to the other through the use of two ethernet cables and a router. I shared the data from the old computer and the new computer found the old in Network Neighborhood, I then simply copied the files to the new. The data consists of numerous files housed in several folders. To do a very very lazy and basic integrity check, I compared the folder sizes from the old and new machine. Since they house the same files, the same folders, they should be identical right? Now I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I noticed discrepancies, bytes that are unaccounted for. The differences seem arbitrary, on one folder there are 199 less bytes, in another there are 1,304,200 more bytes. The number of files and folders are identical for every folder transferred. What could cause a loss or gain of bytes after transfer without loss of files or folders? 1. The first time I noticed a discrepancy on the first folder I transferred, I changed some attributes of the original folder, deleted the one that made it through and transferred again. The folder came out identical in both "Size" and "Size on Disk". I do not know why this occurred. 2. Since then every folder to come out on the other side has a discrepancy either in the "Size" or "Size on Disk" values. 3. I removed the internet cable from the router to remove possible internet problems from the equation during transfer. The only parties to the transfer were the two computers and the router. 4. I've tried transferring a single folder over and over to see if random discrepancies occur in size to show some kind of corruption is occurring through travel. The result? Only a static discrepancy (if the folder made it through first time with 199 bytes less, every subsequent transfer of same folder yields same result). 5. The total size, roughly more than fifty gigabytes transferred. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here? 1. Could data have been corrupted through travel? 2. Could it be something like alternate data stream files such as thumbnails that were left behind? Though this doesn't explain why some files grew in bytes, or does it? 3. Is it safe and reliable to transfer files like I just did or is this why my result is like this? Tag: Computer loses network connection Tag: 288938

Windows XP Pro SP2, using static IP
Some programs, when shutdown, continue to appear running in Task Manager,
sometimes several copies.
Also, computer loses network connectivity - can still ping all computers on
the network, but can not connect; workgtoup finds no connection.
Full shut down and restart restores connectivity until the next time it
shuts dow.
Suggestions as to where to start looking?
TIA

Message unintelligible. Every Windows computer loses network
connectivity when it is shutting down and regains it when
starting up.

Which programs, and how are you attempting to stop them?

Look for clues in eventvwr
