    - 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. Best Regards Insect Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287618

    - 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. Security software seems to contradict, stating that network belongs to PC2, and that PC1 isn't on the network. Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287597

    - 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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.

    - New connection, have I been hacked I use Live Messenger and a file sent to me was blocked. I have a wireless adapter and connect to my neighbours router (yes she gave me the access code) and I ussualy have a wireless connection logo in the system tray. When I started up the pc the other night I had an extra icon showing a cable connection to another computer. I also now have a modem installed in device manager. I think it is my neighbours computer which I am connecting to but aint to sure as neither of us is experts. The pc is also running much slower now.

    - 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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: Wireless Connection 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?

    - Dynamic DNS client for Windows? In my Windows PC I have three network cards. They pull dynamic IP addresses from my ISP. I already have a domain registered at zoneedit.com, with the necessary A records for each network connection. Now I'm looking for a Dynamic DNS client to run as a service on my Windows machine that will automatically update ZoneEdit whenever an IP changes on any of my three network cards. I was doing this successfully about a year ago, but I cannot remember what client software I used at that time. Google finds a few DDNS clients out there, but they won't handle multiple network cards, or aren't free, or just don't make sense when it comes to configuration. Can someone suggest a good DDNS client that would meet my needs? Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287513

    - Windows Built in Firewall... Howdy Folks, I have a user whos built in windows firewall is actually blocking the XP VPN client from making outgoing VPN connections. I have never before seen this behavior on the XP firewall. When the firewall is turned off the VPN goes through just fine, when it is turned on the VPN cannot establish any kind of connection. I have never come across this type of behavior with microsofts built in firewall conflicting with the default XP vpn client. Any thoughts? Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287503

    - SLOW file copy? I have a gigabit LAN here. My machine is running Win XP Pro SP2. The other machine is running Windows 2003 R2 Server. Source drive is a 320gig Seagate SATA drive on the onboard nVidia SATA controller. It's running in 3gig mode. Target drive is actually a RAID5 array. Five 500gig SATA hard drives with lots of space to spare. When I copy a large file (4+ gig) the network utilization is less than THREE percent. This works out to about 30mbit/second or about 3.8mbyte/second. Performance is MUCH worse when transferring small files. I just downloaded NetCPS and tested the throughput of my LAN directly and utilization tops out at about 60%. This works out to 600mbit/second or 75mbyte/second. Where is all the performance being lost???? Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287502

    - Insufficient system resources... "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested operation." I just started getting this error on a machine with XP Pro SP2 connected to my W2K domain whenever you try to access a network drive in Explorer or My Computer. Interestingly, I am able to use the network drive e.g. to install software by using Start | Run. The computer has 512MB RAM, and nowhere near all of it is being used. Swap file size is set to 648-1344MB in size. I tried searching on MS (Live search blows!) but the results I got back were all about Vista. One reason our company has not taken the Vista "plunge". No other XP Pro machines on our network are experiencing this issue. The network drive is our fileserver (W2K3 Standard) with a 750GB drive. Any ideas appreciated!

    - No clock synchronization Hello: I get the following warning for both time.nist.gov and, earlier, time.windows.com: Event Type: Warning Event Source: W32Time Event Category: None Event ID: 36 Date: 4/7/2008 Time: 12:55:49 PM User: N/A Computer: HANS Description: The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp. The system clock is unsynchronized. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. When I did "Update Now" (Win XP Home) , I got an error message for time.nist.gov , but a successful synchronization for time.windows.com. I'm not sure I understand the message "The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152 seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable time stamp.". Can anyone explain it. I understand that this can also be a fire wall issue (I have Nortin Internet SecuritY). While I know that the service is called "Windows Time", I am not sure how to enable nist.gov (and I do not expect anyone here to know, since this is not a Norton site, but if you know, I would appreciate a hint).

    - Pinging 192.168.1.x IP address returns wrong IP I have a couple Windows XP Pro machines with most of the updates. I have 12 of them at remote locations. I am using Netgear's VPN client to connect to the main office for the remote locations to enter their accounting data. This has worked pretty well on several PCs. However, on a few of them, when I ping any address at 192.168.1.x, it will return ping results for 10.44.something. I don't remember the exact IP address. I did google the IP address just in case but I didn't come up with anything good. I noticed this on two machines after installing the VPN client. Interestingly enough, it happens both when connected and disconnected from the VPN. My first thought was spyware. I used ad aware and spybot on the machines with caught a little..nothing significant. But didn't fix anything. I used this WinXP TCP/IP fix program that I found on the web. I like using it for certain spyware that screws up the protocol in some way. But that did nothing. I'm pretty good at eradicating most destructive spyware. Somehow though, I still think it's spyware...but I almost want to blame the VPN software. I actually uninstalled the VPN software on one of the machines to make sure the problem would still exist. It still returned the wrong address. So, I'm stuck. I'm not sure what troubleshooting there is left to do. Pinging an IP address to me seems like the most basic test to see if TCP/IP is working. I would assume it's not DNS...since pinging an IP address shouldn't query a DNS server. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? Thank you! Gary Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287489

    - Slow Network Logon Hello. I hope someone can help with the issues I have. Im having problems with machines taking up to 20 minutes to logon to the network, this does not affect all machines just random ones.(most machines) We have used a network sniffer to look at the traffic from the client machines and for some reason the client authenticates fine with the local domain controller, and know which site it is in, but then goes off talking to other domain controllers around the world in other sites. Im not sure if this is when it is trying to pull down the group policy, does anyone know why this would happen? Also if I ping my domain name the reply changes every so often, and its always from a DC in another country site, if we add a host entry for the local DC to the domain name it fixes the issues on some machines. Also on almost all machine I get the error in the event log "The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the server DNS/blah.blah.blah.com. No authentication protocol was available." What does this mean? I know that's all a bit random so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287481

    - Slow Network Browsing - MS Office Hi there, We have a small network, w2k Server and a combination of win xp Pro desktops and notebooks all with MS Office 2003. One of the notebooks seems to freeze up for a minute when trying to browse for an attachment using Outlook, and will regularly do the same when browsing for files from Word or Excel. It doesn't seem to make a difference if connected via wireless (54Mb) or wired (100Mb) If the network is disabled. you can browse through directories with no problem, but of course no network drive. Since this is happening only on this PC I don't think it's a Server issue? Am I wrong in assuming this? I would like to just format the drive and load the OS fresh. Is there something else I should look at first? Virus patterns are up to date and a scan reports clean, using Norman Virus Control. Thanks for the input... Bob Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287468

    - Authentication prompt when UNC into XP Pro machine from Win2K mach I have two cilent machines in a peer to peer network. One is a Win2K box (Client1) and another is a XP Pro box(Client2). They are on the same subnet mask and are able to ping each other. I have both firewalls turned off and have ensured that file sharing is enabled on both machines. Both admin accounts are named differently and currently have different passwords assigned to them. I can UNC into the Windows 2000 box from the XP Pro box without any authentication popups and can view any shares to include printers. However, when I attempt to UNC into the XP Pro box from the Win2K box, i get prompted for Authentication. On both machines, I set Digitally Sign Server/Client communications (when possible) to enabled and Digitall Sign Server/Client communications (Always) to disabled. Also I set Secure Channel: Digitally encrypt/sign secure channel data (when possible) to enabled and (Always) to disabled. My NTLM settings are Send LM and NTLM-User NTLMv2 when possible. My big question is do I have to set up like users with the same passwords on both systems in order to avoid the authentication? I know this will work, but am looking to avoid that if at all possible. Also if anyone could tell me how I am able to UNC into the Win2K box without authentication while I get hit with it UNCing into XP from Win2K, that would be excellent as well.

    - Access Denied, XP pro, SP2 5 machnes , Simple File and Printer Share Like Ron, several posts back, We have been running 5 machines on XP for 4 years with no problems. Then, all of a sudden last Fri afternoon the other 4 machines could not print to a dot matrix printer located on Problem XP. This printer is set up on LPT2 and everyone else redirects the output of their machine to lpt2 (NET USE LPT2: \\BRAD\SERVICE /PERSISTENT:YES). While trying to figure out why this was happening, I discovered that the problem XP machine could see and read all files on the other machines (that had shared folders) but even though they could see the shared folders on the problem XP, they could not open them. I also getthe "Access Denied... You might not have the permission......." error. Unlike Ron, We are just using the simple file share on all machines. I have turned off the Firewall (just to test if that was the problem - I already had the XP firewall off, we are using CA) I have made no changes to the system. I can ping this machine from all the others and again, I can see the shared folders on the probem machine from the others but can not access them. What else should I be checking for? I am hoping that whatever is going on will also let everyone print to the problem XP again after this issue is resolved. thanks ahead of time Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287453

    - Windows Firewall Weirdness on Multi-Home Machine My laptop is running XPSP2 with all updates. It has an Intel 2915abg WNIC (named WIRELESS) and a Intel Pro/100VE (named WIRED). For exceptions, I have "File and Printer Sharing", "Network Diagnostics for Windows XP", "Remote Assistance", "Remote Desktop", and "Windows Live Messenger". From another computer, I can ping WIRED, but not WIRELESS. Under the Advanced tab, if I disable firewall on WIRELESS, it still doesn't work. However, if I leave it enabled on WIRELESS and disable the firewall on WIRED, suddenly, I can see WIRELESS from the other computer. I went into "ICMP settings" and made sure that "Allow incoming echo request" was selected. If I completely disable WIRED, then WIRELESS works perfectly. Why would enabling or disabling the firewall on the other NIC matter? Another data point is that SMB (File and Printer Sharing) works regardless of whether the firewall is enabled on either card as long as the exception for it is enabled. I don't really care of I can ping this machine or not, but Remote Desktop also doesn't work when I try to connect using the WIRELESS IP when the firewall is active on WIRED.

    - Workgroup Problem... Please Help! Hi, I have 6 laptops all the same model, I am connecting them through a standard netgear switch (no DHCP). The TCP/IP configuration is as follows: Laptop1 - 192.168.0.2 Laptop2 - 192.168.0.3 Laptop3 - 192.168.0.4 Laptop4 - 192.168.0.5 Laptop5 - 192.168.0.6 Laptop6 - 192.168.0.7 The subnet mask for all are 255.255.255.0, I havenâ??t set any gateway or dns configuration. Each has the same Workgroup name. The purpose of the workgroup is to use ICS so all 6 can share the internet connection which will be using a express card mobile broadband service. I can ping all computers, I can see 5 computers but not one, itâ??s as if its holding a token and wont display, if I turn the computer off that is unable to be seen or see any of the other computers the workgroup stops working... this is really frustrating, does anyone know what I have done wrong? ICS and express card has not been enabled or installed at this point as I want to get the workgroup working and reliable! Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287437

    - I lost my user profile! What to do?!?!?! Hi All. Please help - I just lost my user profile in WinXP. I logged in as usual with domain user - DOMAX\dmitry_b but everything I had configured disapeared! :-((( No mail accounts, no my settings, only default windows theme, no links to applications I added, etc. Examining environement (command "set" in "cmd.exe") I found that path to current user profile is not "C:\Documents and Settings\dmitry_b\" but the "C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\" !!! Perhaps it is the reason why I lost all my settings - Windows not linked my exiting profie folder - dmitry_b with me. But why?! From day to day I logged in with the same user and all was fine. Yesterday evening I worked - all was fine. But now... WHY AND HOW IT COULD HAPPENED?! AND WHAT TO DO WITH IT NOW? Help me please. I do not want to lost lot of time configuring lot of things again... Any - why Windows done such thing? Regards, Dmitry. Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287432

    - Access Denied, XP Pro, SP2, Peer to Peer LAN Hi Running Win XP pro SP2 on 4 machines,,, peer to peer LAN (workgroup) My problem is, I can not connect to any of the shared folders Iâ??ve created on one of the machines from any of the other machines. Each machine can open any of the default Shared Doc folders for each of the users of all the machines. The machine that will not grant permission to view (open) any of its folders I have shared on the network can view (open) all the shared folders on all of the other machines. I first noticed the problem after installing a second license of QBooks on one of the machines. When trying to point QBâ??s to the company files on the host machine Iâ??d get this,,,, â??â??â?? \\ blah blah\shared folder name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the admin of this server to find out if you have access permissionsâ?¦. Access is deniedâ??â??â??â?? Also,,, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but,,, the machine with the second seat of QB, in the My Network Places folder is listing all the shared folders not on that machine as located on The Internet and not on the Local Network as it should,,,,,,,, Man am I confused!!!!!!!

    - Networking - Access denied to shared folders Windows Vista Premium & XP Home network comprising wireless router, old desktop XP PC and one new Vista laptop cable-connected to router, plus 2 laptops wireless-only connected. When I click "View Network Computers" from the cable connected laptop, the old XP desktop PC I want to access (call it "PROBLEMPC") appears in the Network map/liist but when I double-click on almost all of the folders I get an Access Denied message. That PROBLEMPC is ethernet-cable plugged in to the wireless router - the new vista laptop is also ethernet cable connected to the router. Each computer has three users. I can access my folders on the old xp pc - but not the folders of the other 2 users - even though they have been set up for sharing. So there obviously is a connection, all I want to do is access PROBLEMPC in the normal way through the network. Any ideas? Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287420

    - ?? Weird: Cannot Connect using Routable IP ?? Hello all, Sorry about the cross-posting but I'm not sure of the best group. If you have any suggestions for a better group, please let me know. The problem I'm having is easy to describe: I have a home network that's behind a router. I have set up one of my machines to be a web server and I've configured the firewall to point to this machine for incoming requests on port 80. Using a web browser, I can browse to the router's IP address and sure enough, I'm forwarded to my web server, it works great, but only if I am NOT on my local network! For example, if I am at work or at the coffee shop, I *can* browse to my router's IP address and I see the web page. If, however, I am at home, behind the firewall, I *cannot * use my router's IP. From home I have to use the web server's local IP: http://192.168.254.68. Can someone explain what's going here? Why can I only use the router's IP if I am outside my network? Here's the configuration: Web Server Machine: Virtual machine running Windows Server 2008, IIS 7 Web Browser Machine: XP Pro running IE 7 Thanks very much. -- Tom Baxter Tag: Wireless Connection Tag: 287402
