    - Unable to print in a workgroup Hello. I was working on a 2 PC Windows XP Home SP2 workgroup and I was unable to get a shared printer to print from one of the PCs. The PC hosting the printer was an older Dell Dimension desktop which could print without issues, and the other PC in the workgroup was a Dell laptop (Latitude?). The PCs are connected through a Linksys WiFi router (the laptop is wireless, the desktop wired). The printer is set to be shared, and both PCs can access the internet, and ping each other successfully. Running the Add Printer wizard on the laptop at the beginning of all this, and selecting "browse the network for printers" did list the printer share, but when I tried to select the share (or if I tried to enter the \\servername\sharename manually) all that happened is a small dialog box labeled "Connect to compnamehere..." appeared, asking for a password to log onto the desktop PC as "\\compname\Guest". The Guest accounts on both PCs were active, and *as far as I know* had no passwords protecting either one. Needless to say, whenever I tried to enter a blank password, or enter the password "guest" or "Guest", this dialog box errored out with an "access denied" or similar message. Running the Network Setup Wizard on both PCs changed nothing. I changed the desktop PC's computer name and the printer share's name, which did nothing (but see below). I tried to perform "net print \\compname\printershare" from the laptop to the shared printer, and I received this error: "System error 1385 has occurred - Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" or something to that effect. I tried to create a user account with the same name, privileges and password on both PCs to see if that would allow access to the printer share, but no dice. The printer share did not appear in the Add Printer wizard under "browse network for printers" after I changed the desktop PC's "computer name" and the printer share's name, although the computer name did appear. A "net print" from the desktop PC to the laptop worked without any errors. Both PCs are set to use the same workgroup, MSHOME. Finally, I tried to disable the Windows Firewall on both PCs, even though both reported that File and Print Sharing was being allowed through the firewall. Interestingly, on the desktop PC, I was unable to turn off the Windows Firewall through the control panel applet, because the option was greyed out. The only option I could choose was the "Don't allow exceptions" checkbox. At the top of the window, a message read something like this: "Due to security concerns, Windows Firewall is being controlled by group policy". As stated above, both machines have XP Home SP2 (actually, I believe the laptop had XP Media Center, but it definetly had SP2 installed). I was totally unable to access the group policy editor on the desktop (for obvious reasons). Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance for your help. I apologize for the imprecise nature of the above problem description, but unfortunately I don't own the machines in question and I'm not near them. Thanks again and cheers!

    - Windows XP networks work intermittently I have three computers, one running linux, one dual boots linux and Wndows XP, the the third only runs XP. The windows computer has very poor performance an all networks, including the dial-up connections and 100Mbit ethernet. The USR 56k modials and connects fine, but once connected, it usually will not resolve hostnames on the first try and will connect to the site after several tries. I tried changing DNS servers with no change in the performance. Once connected to the website, downloading starts and stops every few seconds. Sometimes the connection times out, and often I end up with no activity and a blank screen in my browser, most often after clicking on a google search result. I tried the same dial-up connection from Windows on the dual-boot computer and it works fine. The ethernet connection to this computer seems to have the same problem. The connection is slow and intermittent. The other two can communicate at near full speed with no problem. All three are connected to a switch with 100Mbit ethernet. I had ICS on the XP computer and the others configured by DHCP. Can anyone help me diagnose this problem? Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288436

    - Windows XP performance issue I have a Dell 5150 box that used to have Windows 2000 on it. I recently upgraded to Windows XP and noticed that downloading files from our server is extremly slow. a 2MB file takes about 5 minutes to download to the computer. However, if we upload the 2MB file to the server, it works great. What could be going wrong. When the computer was Windows 2000 we had no speed problems. As soon as we switched the OS, it's very slow. I tried changing the speed and duplex settings on the computer and switch but no combination worked. I even replace the network card and nothing. Any ideas? Thanks, Jasper Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288424

    - ICS host can't access internet After banging my head against the wall for weeks, i've decided to post here in hopes that smarter mind have an answer. my situation: I have one desktop (windows xp pro) that is connected to a dsl internet hookup. i have a laptop (windows xp home) that can currently only get online if i crawl down and hook it to the dsl box with an ethernet cable. my sister has a laptop (windows xp pro) with the same situation. all computers have wireless cards. I would like (love, kill for) to have the desktop share the dsl connection via wireless. so that both laptops and the desktop can all browse the web at the same time. [i'd also like to enable file and printer sharing so that all computers can print from the desktops printer and store file on the desktops hard drive] i have run the connection wizards on the ICS host...but after the lan connection shows as being "connected,shared, firewalled"...the desktop is no longer able to access the internet! at that time the clients are not able to access the internet either. (the wireless network look fine...they all say they are connected...and the shared files are accessible) i have not found any solutions in any troubleshooters or online help pages. i seem to recall having this problem in a windows ME ICS host...i think it had something do do with disabling a service...maybe DCHP? ... i can't recall. I'd just love it if someone could help me fix this. thanks, David Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288421

    - Home network with windows 98SE and XP computers doesn't work Originally I set up a network between a windows 98SE and XP computer and everything worked except I was unable to get printer sharing. Unfortunately, a problem during an unrelated upgrade of XP caused me to resort to a backup clone of the XP operating system (that did not have networking setup). I have been unable to restore a completely working network. I've seen many Win98-XP network problems mentioned on forums (including http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web/browse_thread/thread/53803cadadb55b11/3e595a275207227c?hl=en&lnk=st&q=how+to+home+network+with+xp+and+win98+computers#3e595a275207227c) but I have never seen a problem quite like I have. I've tried many different things but am not able to solve this. Without networking experience, I could use some detailed help. The problem: I have setup one windows 98SE computer (Dell with 128MB ram) and one windows XP computer (Blackbox with 2GB ram) connected via a DSL modem/ Router gateway using ethernet cables. Both computers reach the Internet well. I am able to share 98SE files and folders with the XP (both reading and writing) and have setup a mapped drive for a 98SE shared drive on the XP computer. I can NOT read or write to shared files on the XP computer from the 98SE computer. Both computers show the shared folders under their respective network/workgroup screens. When I attempt to read or map a shared folder from the XP on the 98SE computer, I get an error message. The message reads: "\\BLACKBOX \sharedfolder is not available. There is not enough memory to complete this task. Close some other programs." There are few things running on the 98SE computer and this same computer was able to read/ write to the XP before. Setup for the computers: The 98SE computer uses a Robotics 10/100 PCI NIC TX adapter with: Client for Microsoft Networks Dialup Adapter US Robotics 10/100 PCI MIC TX IPX/SPX compatible protocol -> Dialup Adapter IPX/SPX compatible protocol -> US Robotics 10/100 PCI MIC TX NETBIOS support for IPX/SPX compatible Protocol TCP/IP -> Dialup Adapter TCP/IP -> US Robotics 10/100 PCI MIC TX File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks The network adapter is bound to the associated IPX/SPX protocol and TCP/IP The XP computer using an Attansic L1 Gigabite Ethernet adapter with: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Summary: Both computers are connected from network interfaces though ethernet connections to a SDL modem/Router. Both computers are connect to the internet and both work with it fine. Both computers have shared folders defined. Both computers "see" the network and both show the correct shared folders for each computer. Both computers are on a workgroup called "Home". I can ping from either computer to the other one correctly. I can write to and read files on the 98SE computer from the XP computer but not the other way around. I have turned off both firewalls from the two computers without an improvement. I have run out of ideas as to how to get this network to work from the win98SE computer. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Remember, I am not experienced in networking and could use detailed help. Thanks in advance. Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288417

    - Windows AD accounts randomly locking on 1st attempt I have several users that may or may not have an issue when they log into their laptops using their AD accounts. On the first attempt the user will get an error that the password/username they entered is incorrect. On the second attempt they be notified their account is locked. This is not happening for all users, only certain ones at random. I have verified the lockout policy is set for 3 attempts. When i looked at one of the user's security event logs I noticed the following 3 events: Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529 Date: 05/20/2008 Time: 6:10:02 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: LAP-41614 Description: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: Smithj Domain: ENTERPRISE Logon Type: 2 Logon Process: Advapi Authentication Package: Negotiate Workstation Name: LAP-41614 Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529 Date: 05/20/2008 Time: 6:10:02 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: LAP-41614 Description: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: Smithj Domain: ENTERPRISE Logon Type: 11 Logon Process: User32 Authentication Package: Negotiate Workstation Name: LAP-41614 Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Logon/Logoff Event ID: 529 Date: 05/20/2008 Time: 6:10:02 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: LAP-41614 Description: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: Smithj Domain: ENTERPRISE Logon Type: 2 Logon Process: User32 Authentication Package: Negotiate Workstation Name: LAP-41614 I pasted these in chronological order as displayed the the event viewer. The next event reports the account is locked. Notice that these 3 all occured at the same time. I did some research into the logon processes mentioned and found that Advapi (not to be confused with Advapi32) could be spyware and thus the cause. However, I am sure the Advapi mentioned is legit as I checked several other PCs w/ no issues and found this same process mentioned in those security event logs. Also this laptop in question is one that was built and deployed to the user less than a day prior so, it is hard to believe they went somewhere and got it. I also checked the user32 logon process and found user32.exe is a known trojan. I scanned the laptop but could not find any traces of it. Also like I mentioned prior, this is a recently built laptop and it is hard to believe it is a trojan. I am certain the user32 listed is actually user32.dll which appears to be a legit dll. I checked several other users with these issues and found when their account locked the security event log reported the same events. I checked on the error listed event IDs and found ID 529 indicates the user tried to log in with an unknown account (duh) or bad password (double duh,) but it doesn't make any sense why windows is trying to log in 3 times on it's own in succession. All users are running XP Pro. I've verified the users have all the current windows patches to date, including SP3. I've tried having them try with and without a docking station, but none have worked. Does anyone have any suggestion on what else to try? I've been banging my head against the wall for a few weeks w/ no success. Thanks. Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288415

    - tcpip registry parameters missing - no network hello i am new to this, but after posting on several others and searchin endlessly for information online and other forums such as this, i hav found no post/thread specific to my situation, so i am going to start new thread. i would really appreciate any help you can provide!: our home has a cable connection and two computers, a laptop tha connects wirelessly using an 802.11g 4-port router, and a desktop with wired connection. the laptop never has had any problems; it wil connect directly through the cable modem, wired and wirelessly throug the router. the desktop has been having issues forever...it woul randomly connect to the network, work for weeks at a time, but the stop. it would always work connected to the cable modem. after tryin just about everything i (and everyone i know and spoke with) could thin of, i reformatted the desktop (there were other problems too...). whil drastic, everyone agreed that i had tried everything. i did not have the recovery disk, so after reformatting with xp sp2; went online with the laptop and got the necessary drivers and utilitie (mostly from the dell site) on a flash drive. i installed everythin and set the tcp/ip settings in the properties of the local are connection (which always has limited or no connectivity), but i stil cannot get online with that computer. (i can still get online with direct connection to the cable modem. after trying many, many things, someone suggested that i check th 'enable proxy' parameter in the registry, which was when i noticed tha it didn't exist. (not that i can see...can that be hidden???) neithe do most parameters associated with dhcp. this makes sense why i canno get an ip from the router, but i can find very little info (and i hav stumped many of my friends) on what to do if the values of them ar incorrect. i cannot even log into the router from the computer (nor ca i see the computer on the network from the laptop) there is no weird software (beyond some weird broadcom suite installed by mistake but i have checked...it's on my laptop and causin no problems). i have a degree in computer science, so i am not novice...although i did leave a lot out of this message (had i include everything i have done this would be the worlds longest post...4 month now). i also have been working out of the field for awhile (3 years) and when i did was in software design...most of my networking skills ar a bit dated (but i have always known at very least enough to have all m computers at home online with no problems) if you could, imagine i have tried all the basics...if you hav something new or different i can try, please help...until i fix th desktop i am <i>sharing</i> my laptop his desktop used to be used at his office so i do not have the exac specs on it...it's a dell optiplex gx280 (there is some info on dell' site) - basics; p4 2.8GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB maxtor HD...nothin specific. (but there are some things i have discovered in all of this so please ask anything that may clarify!) that also means it was on X Server network, but the reformat would have taken care of thos settings, right thank you jennife sorry i can't post the ipconfig /all, but i cannot get online using th computer with the problem!

    - OT: Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN stuck at 54.0 Mbps Does anyone know why a HP Compaq 6820s laptop that has an Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN mini-PCI adapter be constantly stuck at 54.0 Mbps when within 3 feet of the 11n router? I have followed the recommendations of Intel and set the router to WPA(2) with AES encryption. The card was warranted replaced and I have tried both the Intel Pro management software and Wireless Zero Configuration. Neither will get the Intel card to exceed the 54.0 Mbps speeds. The router is a TRENDnet TEW-631BRP and I know that the 802.11n signals are working since there is a D-Link RangeBoost N (DWA-142) USB adapter two floors up (router in the basement, D-Link on the second story of the home) which is connecting at greater than 200Mbps. BTW: Does anyone know if the number of wires connected to this model of mini-PCI wireless card is important? This one only has two connected to "port" 1 and 3. One is completely "non-existant" / not connected (port2.) I fear that HP has lamed this adapter since I found several references that this card needs all antennas connected but it seems that there is only one in this HP.

    - Wired connection problem I have a SURFboard broadband modem, a D-link wireless router, and both the PC and the Dell Vostro laptop are running Windows XP. Also running Nortons on the PC and Bitdefender on the laptop. I had E-Trust EZ armor(antivirus and firewall) , and Network Magic also installed on the PC. Both expired, so I opted to uninstall both. NM came off without a hitch, everything from E-Trust stayed after the uninstall, and I finally removed it by deleting it all from C:. Every since I started trying to remove it, I've had connection problems that make no sense at all. I can connect to my homepage(google), enter a search topic, view the webpage, and then when I try to visit another page, or go back to Google, I get the "IE cannot display webpage" message. My connections box shows I have a connection, my firewall shows no blocks, but my PC will not stay online. Through all of this, the laptop I'm typing on now, works fine. I've went through every Wizard program offered by Microsoft, to no avail. I've ran the cd that came with the router, reset the router, and ran any repair programs that are on the PC, and it just keeps happening. The last time I was able to get about 5 pages deep online before it booted me. I'm ready to throw the whole thing over the hill out back. Any suggestions?

    - Access to the Windows folder on a mapped drive Hello, In order to support a legacy application I have to grant read/write access to the whole shared C: drive of a Windows XP Professional SP2 machine acting as a file server, including the C:\Windows folder. In other words, the clients (which are also Win XP Pro SP2 btw) mapping the C:\ drive on the host machine need to read files in the Windows folder of that machine. Everything is OK except that access to the Windows folder is denied. I understand that this is due to XP's security policies nonetheless. To overcome that restriction, I added an admin-type account on the file server for each workstation that needs this sort of elevated access level. Those accounts are the same case and have the same passwords as their counterparts on the workstations. This, however, didn't make any difference as access to the <mapped_drive>:\Windows folder is still denied. So my question is: In an scenario like this, how do I grant access to the C:\Windows folder on the file server so that the workstations can access the files in it? Thanks, Fernando Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288375

    - Windows Networking Problem caused by ICS? I have an operating network with four XP Pro SP3 based computers, two wired and two wireless on a Linksys router connected to a DSL modem. I added another wired laptop (XP Pro SP3) that I have been using on a network at another job. It used Novel Netware Client for Windows which I uninstalled. I set it up for my local Windows network exactly the same as the others. It uses NAV 2008 as does three of the other computers and one is using OneCare. The Windows and OEM firewalls are off. All the computers are in the same "Ournet" Workgroup. From this added laptop, I can view and access the shared files on the other four computers. I can ping the added laptop from the other computers and ping the original computers from the added laptop. However, the added laptop does not show up in My Network Places nor in "Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/Ournet" on the other computers. Even though I cannot see the added laptop, I can use Windows Explorer on the other computers to map a network drive to the shared folder on the added laptop! I have checked settings many, many times, read Knowledgebase articles, and looked in Forums and could find nothing that fixed my problem and made Windows Networking display the added laptop. Any suggestions would be helpful. I did find something unusual that may contribute to the problem. The added laptop is the only computer on the network that shows "Internet Connection" (Sharing) as a Network Connection. I have tried to disable or delete this network connection without any success. I could find nothing that worked in the Microsoft Knowledge base. I have disabled the adapter and the "Local Area Connection" and "Internet Connection" go away until I re-enable the adapter. I set both connections so I could see when they were active in the system tray. "Internet Connection" starts up right after the "Local Area Connection" starts but runs at 8Mh rather than the 100Mh of the Local Area Connection. I have recreated the network with the Network Setup Wizard making sure I indicate that this and all network computers are connected to a router not to another computer. But ICS is still there. I have no idea if ICS is causing my network display problem but I would like to fix both. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill-R Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288358

    - Static/Advanced Routing I could do a simple thing and get a switch, but there are circumstances that make static routing more ideal - if what I am looking to do can be done. What that is is file and print sharing between computers that are associated with two routers - a primary router/gateway and a secondary router that is behind the primary router. Behind my modem is a router. Behind the router are two wireless computers, two wire-connected computers, and a VOIP phone. Behind that phone is another wire-connected computer. The problem is that this phone acts as a router and so the computer behind it is associated with a different subnet then the computers on the primary router. Is there a way to change this cinsequence through changing settings on the routers so that all computers are able to associate at the level of the primary router? How? I saw that there was a function on the phone to disable its DHCP Server capabilities and a way to apply Static Routing settings with a Destination IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, Metric, and Interface. Is this where the action takes place? Would I set the computer that is behind this phone to use DMZ? Here is some IP info for the main router... WAN IP Address: Will keep private LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Domain Name: Castillo Host Name: Castillo LAN MTU: Auto Local DHCP Server: Enabled Default Gateway: Will keep private DNS Server(s): Will keep private And for the phone: WAN IP: 192.168.1.250 (Static) LAN IP: 192.168.15.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 WAN MTU: 1500 LAN MTU: N/A Local DHCP Server: Enabled Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 DNS Server(s): 192.168.1.1; Will keep private Other Notes: WAN-level DMZ enabled for phone -- -Zakhary Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288352

    - Is network transfer speed limited by MS patch Yesterday I noticed that my laptop computer network appears to be limited. The laptop has a 100 Mbps connection to a Vista server with a 1 Gpbs NIC and switch. The Vista system is a SageTV server and I use the laptop to view videos using the Sage Client. While tring to view videos my laptop network speed appears to be limited to just over 2.5 Mbps. I then tested network transfers between the laptop and Vista server and they also were very slow, none completed properly. I then installed service pack 3 hoping that would correct the problem, it did not. Today I used my backup system which also has a 100 Mbps connection to determine when the problem occurred. It looks like patch KB947864 kills the network transfer speed on my backup. Removing the patch on the backup system correct the problem. It does not have SP3 installed yet. I tried to correct the laptop by removing that patch, it did not make any difference. The SP3 install could not be removed. I tried going back to previous restore points, none were successful. Can anyone verify the patch KB947864 (Cumulative Security Update for Internet Exployer 7 for windows XP) kills their network speed when connecting to a Vista system. Anyone know how I can fix the network speed on my laptop? Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288343

How do I regain the icons of the network computers?????????? Thanks, Gene Brabston -- Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288327

    - Static IP fails to DHCP We're trying to configure a static address on an XP machine. When the machine is restarted it switches itself back to DHCP settings. If we switch it back to static, same thing, next time machines restarted we lose the static address and reverts to dhcp. It's extremely frustrating and I can't find any help on this.

    - Ping "awakens" network browsing I have a home network consisting of a desktop and a laptop. I have FIOS internet, the desktop connects via Cat5 and the laptop is wireless with WPA2 encryption. The problem I am having is the 2 computers will lose their connection to each other from time to time, for example trying to access a shared drive on the desktop from the laptop gives you an access denied type of error. If I ping the desktop the connections "wake up" and I can then browse to the shared drive or to shared folders. What do you think the problem is and why does it work after a ping? I ran "browstat status" and it says browsing is active on the domain and the laptop is the master browser, any help is appreciated. Thanks Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288316

    - 2 networked pc's one can't access other I have 2 pcs on a lan, both are winxp pro under the same work group etc. Both have their desktop shared. On pc 1 I can go to network places, work group and computers, and double click on pc 2 to access its shares. However, if I do the same thing on pc 2 and try to connect to pc 1, it says it is not accessible or I might not have permissions, access denied. I have even gone as far as making a user name on pc 2 that is the same as an existing user name on pc 1 but no success. Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288313

    - On home network 2000 sees all, XP doesn't Forgive the cross post, but am unsure where to go here. I have three computers on my home LAN, two 2000's and 1 XP. Both 2000's can see and share all three machines. Yet the XP can only see one of the 2000s, not the other. Yet the 2000 that the XP cannot see, can see the XP and it's shared drives. It's like a one-way network. Can anyone give me a little guidance as to what they think I need to look at/change so my XP (desk) can see that 2000 (hidden behind some furniture and uncomfortable to work from)? Many thanks ahead, as always. Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288310

    - I cannot see my shared printer drive? I have selected file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks, and share my printer for public. My PC's IP is 192.168.10.10. When I type \\192.168.10.10 under window explorer, I still can see my shared printer drive. When I type \\192.168.10.20, I can see other shared printer drive on my computer. However, when I go to the PC \\192.168.10.20, I type \\192.168.10.10 under window explorer, this IP address cannot be detected, of course, I cannot see the shared printer drive too. I get no idea what it goes wrong on the network. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

    - Dual NIC's in one PC - Internet & LAN Hi, I have a Dell Preceision 960 with two NICs installed. The first NIC is an integrated Broadcom NIC and I want to use it for Internet and remote access via web. The TCP/IP is set for auto IP and DNS. The second NIC is an Intel Pro 1000/GT which has 4 virtual NICs setup on it. One for each VLAN that have their own IP, Subnet and gateway defined in the TCP/IP config. The VLANs to the Intel come off a Cisco switch in a closed network with no internet access. The input to the Broadcom comes from a different hub that has internet access. I can get internet access through the Broadcom if I "disable" the Intel in the Network Connections window but then I lose the data tracking to the apps while it is disabled. Typically when the Network is connected through the Broadcom it has an auto assigned IP of 10.0.0.13. The VLAN IP's, subs and gw's are: VLAN 90 - 192.168.42.108, 255.255.255.128, 192.168.42.1 VLAN 91 - 192.168.42.140, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.42.129 VLAN 92 - 192.168.42.208, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.42.193 VLAN 93 - 192.168.67.10, 255.255.255.192, 192.168.67.1 I need both to play nice so I can keep the VLAN apps running and be able to get internet and remote access (via VPN) when I need it.

    - Slow network Hi, The network that i've setup is slow. I've discovered that it maybe to do with the protocols. The protocols on both the server and the client are different. One is ipx and the other is tcp/ip. Which should i be using? What boxes should be ticked in network protocol on the client and the server? Such as "qos packet scheduler" etc... Do these options differ from server to client? -- Man oh man! Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288275

    - Remote Desktop Connection problems http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/05/advanced-file-sharing-tweaks-in.html#NTRights I looked at the above link for help on connecting my home network's "Remote Desktop Connections".

I can RD into my Vista machines from my XP Pro machine but cannot RD into my XP Pro machine from my Vista machine. I tried looking at secpol.msc but do not understand how to use it. It has several options to set security policies but I do not want to touch those in case they would allow foreign intrusion through my Windows firewall. I have matching user accounts/passwords on each machine and can ping without loss. What is the problem with the Remote Desktop Connection? Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Default gateway behaviour Hello, My network has two default gateways and one is a faster connection than the other. My computer is set to use 192.168.7.1 with a metric of 1 and 192.168.7.2 with a metric of 20 This works as expected most of the time with everything going out of 192.168.7.1 unless it's dead. But just occasionally when everything seems a bit sluggish I check the routing table and it lists as follows =========================================================================== Interface List 0x1 ........................... MS TCP Loopback interface 0x2 ...00 11 50 44 16 21 ......

    - Help w/ hooking up 2 computers to a modem I've hooked the modem to an Ethernet switch and the 2 comps (both running WinXP SP2) with CAT5 ethernet cables. First computer is connected fine (your proof is this post) but the 2nd computer ain't obtaining an IP address. The lights on the switch confirm the port is in operation. My ISP said they don't do technical support for Ethernet switches -- that it's a matter of plug and play if it really worked, hence I waste y'alls precious time with this post. What could I have fucked up? Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288232

    - Web-folder connection causing system slowdown Hi, In My Network Places, I have a connection set up to a folder on a SharePoint Server site. After I boot up, I can click the folder in My Network Places from within Windows Explorer. It asks for my credentials, and then I'm in until the next reboot. The problem is that once I've authenticated, my entire system is slowed down. I'm not sure why that is so, but I thought that an easy fix would be to disconnect (rather than having to reboot or just live with the slowness). However, I can't find a way to disconnect. Right-clicking the folder does not produce any Disconnect option (which does exist on Windows Vista). Disconnect Network Drive doesn't work because I haven't mapped to any drives. Any ideas? Thanks!

    - blending? dsl and cable connection to one computer Im curious if the following the can be done. Could i run a dsl and a cable connection to one computer in a way that only requires one network connection enabled yet utilizes both connections? I use my computer for day trading(stocks, options, etc) and need to reduce/eliminate any connection drop offs even for a few seconds. The trouble is the software i use for trading requires a connection license thats about $800 month and only allows one connection to be running at a time for one license. My thought was perhaps running the dsl modem and cable modem into a router and then connecting my computer to that would allow me to log into the trading software such that if say the cable connection would drop off the dsl would still keep the data flowing and vice versa. Anyone have any idea if this is possible and perhaps how to do it??? thanks for reading Tag: XP SP3 & Vista Networking Troubles Tag: 288224
