    - Rights required to add and remove routes We need to grant our users just enough rights to add and remove routes so their VPN clients can complete connection to our network, however currently administrators are the only users who can add and remove routes (logically). What rights need to be granted to users before they can add and remove routes? Is there a way of doing this short of making them members of the Administrator's group? I'd like to be able to deploy the permissions via group policy, so I can do file/folder ACLs, privileges and rights, user group membership, etc. Any suggestions? -- Chris Martin SysAdmin Medfin Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287182

    - Upload problems with Windows XP SP2 I'm having trouble with uploads to web sites on my Windows XP SP2 machine. I basically can't upload any files in in a web request. If I try going to a bandwidth test page, it does the download test fine, but then won't even complete the upload test. I can't send emails through my web email client. I can't upload files to web pages. Each time I try it hangs and then times out. It shouldn't be a browser problem. It is the same with Firefox and IE. I thought maybe it was a hardware problem. I tried switching out the network cable, tried switching ports on my router, I even installed a different network card with the same results on the new card. Clearly it shouldn't be a hardware problem. It isn't the internet connection. I have another computer going through the same router to the same internet connection and it doesn't have the problem. I can upload files over the network to the other computer (though it does seem a little slower than download). Firewall is turned off. I really don't know what else to look for. Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks, Monk Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287181

    - XP Vista see each other but cannot connect I have 2 workgroup computers. One runs XP Media Center Edition and the other is running Vista Home Premium. I have placed both computer in the same workgroup and both of the machines see each other in the network views/network map. However, when I double click each machine from the other in the network view, access is denied. I have installed the Link Layer Topology Discovery on both machines and have verified that the related services are started for networking. On the Vista machine I have enabled private network. When I try to connect using UNC, it gives me access denied both ways. I have created a shared folder on both machines. My goal is to be able to install an accounting software server version on the XP machine and a client for the software on the Vista machine. I disabled both firewalls and even tried enabling them and tweaking the vista exception list with no luck. Please help. -- Kevin Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287168

    - Firewall in XP Home SP2 We cannot change the settings for the firewall, they are managed by the Policy Manager, but we are in XPHome SP2. We were trying to update Security Shield 2008 from PCSecurityShield, when the update would not install. Thier tech support had us uninstall the current version, in an attempt to install the update. No success. Our firewall settings are greyed out, and a bar across the top indicated they are being managed for our security by Policy Manager. We want to regain control of all security aspects of this machine. Any insight is appreciated.

    - XP SP2 Internet unstable, Vista on same network is fine My network problem is instability in the Internet access on my Windows XP SP2 Professional connected directly on the router with a UTP cat 5e. My notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium access the Internet smoothly, either wired (also UTP 5e) or wirelessly, using WEP. Both are connected to a DI-624 router. The router WAN port is connected to a Siemens Speedstream 4200 ADSL Modem for Internet access. I can´t find where the problem is. I am using Firefox on both computers. Doing basically the same thing. I can´t find even a starter point to solve this problem. My only guess is that it is OS related, haven´t installed Vista on the desktop machine, but that is too much, I just want my XP to work fine.

    - wireless networking and file sharing I know that you must have answered this question a thousand times and i apologise for that but as we two silver surfers are floundering around in a plethora of answers and methods I am hoping that you can point me to a link that will talk at me in basic terms. My friend and I want to share files between his laptop and my desktop. He already uses my internet connection wirelessly and without problem. what we need now is a basic instruction as to how to set up a network connection to share files. We have read all about mapping and have tried various wizards but every time we look into My Network Places we don't have any network places! I am sure that it is easy when you know how and we are probably getting nearly there but we don't know when it goes wrong. We both can complete the Set Up a Home or Small Office Wizard and we get to the bit where it says Finished and we think we have finished but.......... it is just teasing us.

    - FTP fails with <filename>: Invalid Argument I am trying to use FTP to move a large (>80 GB) file to our mass storage facility here at NASA Langley. At around 45 GB I get the subject error. I found a knowledge base article that describes the problem for Win NT 4.0 and 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259837/en-us I assume that these fixes are in XP SP2. I am fully patched. So I assume I am running out of paged pool memory (I have 4 GB installed, 3GB available on an HP xw6400 with 2 Dual Xeons). The error occurred while running overnight with nothing else running. It is repeatable. The error also occurs with Filezilla, but it manages to get to > 70GB. Any ideas as to solution or work around? How do I find out how much paged pool I have? How do I increase its allocation? Thanks, Dan Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287136

    - XP machine cannot see vista machine because of rights? I just installed a new Vista machine onto a home network with two XP machines running on them. The vista machine sees all the shared folders on the XP machines, and my XP laptop sees the shared folders and printer on the vista machine. But the XP desktop does not see the vista machine when accessing my network places. However, when I select "view workgroup computers" on the XP, the Vista machine is displayed. And when I select properties for the vista machine in that window, I get an error message that reads "You do not have the appropriate access rights for the server." So my desktop knows the vista machine is there. All the machines use PC-cillin, and have the same firewall settings. But, I did once have Norton Antivirus on the desktop, but I removed it using the Norton Removal Tool. Is there a more speciific settting I have to make in the Vista machine or the XP machine to allow the XP to access the Vista shared folders?

    - Requiring login values Hello experts, I have a simple network of 6 machines (all xp w/sp2). Machines #1 through #4 are work stations. Then I have set up 2 machines as basic file servers called FileServer1 and FileServer2. Currently, each machine can see all other machines on the network (including the 2 file servers). So, up to that point, I think I have everything running great. But, now I am stuck on how to do a few things on these machines: Firstly...how do I set it up so that work stations can "see" FileServer #2, but cannot log on to it (in other words, if they clicked on FileServer#2 in their Explorer, they would get a logon-screen). Then how do I get it set up so each workstation cannot see another.. (in other words, a workstation can only see FileServer #1, can see FileServer#2 but cannot logon (without the pswd) but can NOT see other workstations. I'm still working my way through the help files, but haven't found this yet. I'm sure it's something quite simple. But, I'm hoping you experts out there can offer some help.

Does anyone have recommendation for a wireless bridge that supports WPA2?

    - Downloads just stops Hi, I have a problem that occurs every time I try to download a (installer) program over the Internet. E.g. I tried to download/install acrobat reader and Google sketch with the same behaviour. I chose to download the program and after a second a dialog appears where I press the "run" button to start the installer and the file(s) download is starting. I can se how the download proceeds sometimes I manage to download 3% and sometimes 11%. First I thought that it was the firewall. I turned it off and even uninstalled it => no change. Then I tought it was the wifi network so I use cable => no luck. I did manage to download Opera browser when I chosed a FTP site instead of HTP (I could chose a download site in a scroll menu and I used one beginning with FTP instead of HTP) I thoought that it was IE7 but I have the same problem in Opera, I cant install Sketch Up from Opera either!! I have run Windows Update so I should have the latest patches etc... What could be the problem? /di98mase Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287088

I, eventually, after buggering about for far too long, just changed the scope for port 445 in the firewall to "All networks" (or whatever it is) which now lets me in via SMB. For obvious security reasons I would prefer to change the listening app to listen on the local subnet ONLY. I'm currently using a wireless adapter, so I'm not overly happy with all and sundry being able to access 445. Of course, the WiFi connection is encrypted with WPA2/AES and is behind a router firewall, but still... sometimes it isn't as I move around. Googled, but no help. TIA, Ken.

    - HP printer is wireless, what can it do? The small network here has a wired Linksys router, two PC's (Win-XP-pro), one wired print server (for a laser printer w/parallel port), and an HP7410 printer (with a network interface card) that is connected by cable to the local ethernet/LAN. This HP also has a "wireless" capability, a small blue icon stays lighted on front. Would greatly appreciate some insights for these (obviously) elementary questions... a) Is the wireless feature primarily ONLY for, let's say, a laptop to print wirelessly to this HP Printer, or just to clean up wires in the office? b) Is it true it can't be BOTH connected by wire and at the same time have wireless capability? That is... since it's connected by cable (presumably the HP's wireless is presently disabled), then is it true that I'd need to first DISCONNECT it from cable, then re-configure for 'wireless' by filling in the wireless settings on HP... which would mean now ONLY the laptop can connect and the PC's can't (unless I added a wireless-access-point (WAP) to the router, so ALL PC's could sent thru wireless into the printer, right?) c) Is it true this wireless HP device only really "receives" signals (things to be printed), or is it possible (or worse, "certain") that it could be used for someone outside home to "get into" my entire network (far beyond just printing)? Is this likely? (Right now, I assume wireless is disabled...but if it isn't, I noticed some settings that said "open" "no security/authentication". But it also said "Connected: No". d) Can the HP printer act as a (and be my) WAP and eliminate the need for me to buy a separate WAP? Is this commonly done? Any advantages/disadvantages? e) Is it true that the wired connection now in use (HP is plugged into router) would almost for certain be the fastest, and that if I re-configured everything to use the HP printer's 801.11b wireless connection along with a (newly installed) 801.11 b/g WAP...the connection would likely or for sure be noticeably slower? f) Any way to keep the fast wired-connection to the HP printer, yet at same time allow it to 'accept' a wireless signal from a laptop, so that laptop can print (thru the air so to speak) to the printer? (Sort of best of both worlds... fast wired connection for desktop PC's, plus convenience of wireless for laptop remote printing) g) anything else I'm missing here, that I should know about regarding wireless printing, networks, etc. Thanks, greatly appreciatd, George Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287069

    - basic need-to-know on buying/setting-up wireless Hello, Am using WinXP-pro on 2 PC's (want to do remote access later, too), got one wired-router, 2-PC's, in small 3-story house, in suburbs, not much traffic here. Trying to set up very basic wireless access (for future laptop, and small Wii in house), without spending lots of time or becoming expert, would greatly appreciate some advice in these below general areas, thanks... 1) WAP or Wireless Router? Already have a Linksys VPN router (works great, already set up, although don't use the VPN part yet). Looks like wireless access points (WAP's, $69) are MORE expensive than entirely new wireless router (sale $43). -Can/should I get the wireless ROUTER and just use it like a WAP... i.e. just use it for wireless access and skip all the router stuff. Can I do that? Is it easy to set up (just wireless, no router)? -Would I HAVE to throw out existing router and start over? -Is there some great benefit to paying extra and getting just the WAP (no built-in router) and attaching it to my router? 2) Which device? Looks like the Linksys WRT54G is good all around. It handles wireless-B too. -Is there any GREAT reason to pay much more (~$70) and get speed booster for 35% more speed. -At $43, seems I could always get a few years out of it and start over later if speed is a real issue, besides better deals/standards likely on market by then anyway, right? 3) Security... -How secure are these local wireless networks? Everyone says set up a password. Are there some basic things everybody sets up to be very secure? -Is the biggest risk a neighbor or drive-by connection? Is that really hard, or really easy? So what if they use my always-on connection, flat fee. -Or is the risk of an unauthorize sign-on that they could browse files and/or remote-control and damage my PC (a big deal). 4) Anything else in the really need to know or do category?

    - MTU Problem Check this one out, hopefully someone has some ideas on this... I have a bunch of XP Pro machines in one office where I had to lower the MTU setting to 1362 to allow traffic to work across a hardware VPN to the main office. The correct MTU size was determined by finding the max size packet that worked and then subtracting 10 (so in this case, 1372 was the largest size packet that would work). Anyway, this was working fine for all of the computers for months. All of a sudden, one computer quit working and it is displaying a very strange behavior... With the 1362 MTU size set, all of a sudden the largest packet that would go through from this PC only was 1334, so I lowered the MTU down to 1324. Reboot, and then the largest packet that would go through is 1282, so I lowered the MTU to 1272 and rebooted. This goes on and on -- you enable the correct setting, reboot, and then you have to go lower again. It literally never ends. I think that the registry has been tampered with as someone had set the TCP Receive Window setting to 1100. I tried setting it back to 64512, and even reset TCP/IP back to defaults with the guided help from this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357 After resetting TCP/IP, the TCP Receive Window setting is fine, but I still am running into the same MTU issue. I do believe it is something whacked with this particular machine. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

    - File sharing I know this topic has come up repeatedly and I have tried almost everything in every article and I am stumped. Please throw some suggestions. I have three computers running windows xp pro. Computer A is the problem. Computers B and C seem to be okay. Heres what happens. B and C can see each other and do file sharing. B and C can see A, but they both get accessiblity error messages when they try to browse A. Computer A can see and read and write to B and C. Computer A has two printers that are shared, but B and C can't access them (they don't show up when I try to add a network printer) All computers are running simple file sharing behind a broadband router so they all have private IP addresses. I have tried with the windows firewall on and off. No other firewall software is being used. I have CA antivirus and antispam running, but I have uninstalled and tried. All three shared computers have simple names like "chris" or "desktop" This all used to work and that it stopped, but I'm not sure when because I don't often print or file share from computer's B and C. I have also connected other computers that I am troubleshooting for people and they also can't access computer A, but they can always see it in the workgroup computer list. If you reply to my email remove the word "block", but I would prefer you reply here. Thanks in advance. Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287054

    - Disappearing server shares on specific XP/Office2007 client I'm running a Windows 2000 server SP4 with all the latest fixes. This server is sharing files and printers. The clients are all Windows XP Professional SP2 (dutch language) with the applicable patches installed. The problem seems to specifically haunt laptop computers that also have the new Office 2007 (also patched to Microsoft standards) installed. The clients log in, and have normal access to all the shares on the servers. The server keeps it's shares up and running (none of the clients with desktops or even laptops with no Office 2007 installed have the issue to my knowledge), but atleast two machines somehow 'loose' the ability to review shares on the server. I do have a few more machines with the XP/Office 2007 configuration I have not heard any problems from, but then again, that might just be a matter of time. Opening the UNC path to the server yields just one or two shared folders, and the contents of these folders are usually empty. Accessing a missing share or printer through the UNC path directly gives the notification that the share cannot be found of contacted. All the printers and the rest of the shares are just gone on the workstation. Going to a different workstation shows the shares and printers to be available, so it can't be a problem on the server-side. This is further staved by the fact that as the Windows XP client that has the issue reboots, all the shares and printers are back up as normal again, as if they never were gone to begin with. It's quite annoying because it removes the ability of the user to access network items, aswell as utilize network printers. I'm a bit at a loss as to what may be causing this, and thus would like to submit this thread to see if anyone could toss up some idea's of what might be going on.

    - IMPOSSIBLE Networking with XP I've got three computers hooked up to a network: First, a WinXP and a Win2000 computer both connected to the router via wired LAN. Then there's also a WinXP laptop connected via WiFi. I'm using a Linksys wireless router WRT150N. Internet access for all machines is fast and flawless. But file transfers are impossible between any of the machines, regardless of file size. I can do a directory view of any networked files, which usually gets me a few seconds delay and an hourglass, but any attempt at any file transfer gets me an hourglass that won't go away ever. Sometimes on the XP machines I'll see a frustrating crash of Windows Explorer (Win2000 never crashes, by God!). This occurs even when all firewalls are disabled. Each machine can ping the other. I don't have a clue as to what is going on here. I can browse other networked computer's files, but I can't access the files. I'm at my wits end. ANY help or debug ideas would be lovely. Thanks for taking the time. AAAHHH!!! Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287044

    - Do I need NETBIOS and the LMHOSTS file? I've got a home network, a WinXP and a Win2000 computer connected via wired LAN, and a WinXP laptop connected via WiFi. I'm using a Linksys WRT150N router. All I need are internet access for all computers (I'm using Comcast), and file/printer sharing between all computers. For all computers, in my Advanced TCP/IP Settings, do I need to have Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Or should it be disabled? Or use the Default option of Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server? Also, do I need to Enable LMHOSTS lookup? Thanks!!! Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287036

The 4 vista clients do not have this problem. We have tested the network speed between 2 remote locations (fiber connection) and the speed is about 95 Mbps. Anyone any idea ?

    - What hardware do I need for this netork? Hi, We will have 10 XP Home PCs and a network printer at work. Currently, we just have a 6 port switch where 5 PCs connect to one that acts as the gateway for the internet and the printer. The broadband is BT Business ADSL. What I want to do is have a wireless router so our 2 laptops can connect as well. Am I right to assume that if I buy an ADSL Wireless 4 port Router, I can connect 3 PCs directly to the router and the other port can be connected to the 6 port switch? I am a bit of a novice when it comes to switches and routers. If you can recommend a plan then that would be fantastic. We want to keep costs down as well which is why we are sticking with XP Home and not getting a server. Thanks for your attention and any advice you can give me.

    - brief IP address question (quiz?) Hello, An using an Win XP-pro computer and was looking at some internet connection things. Could I get a few opinions on IP addresses in general, particularly the last set of digits... BACKGROUND PC I did c:\ipconfig, and it brings something back like... IP Address 190.188.1.400 Default gateway 190.188.1.4 ROUTER The router has some settings where it has a fill-in box (default=0) to allow you to ONLY fill in the last 2 digits, like this 190.188.1.4 [ 0 ] (it has a default of 0) QUESTIONS OK so questions are... Is the router IP address of 190.188.1.4 the same as 190.188.1.40? _________ the same as 190.188.1.400? _________ the same as 190.188.1.004? _________ And, when the "ipconfi" brings back 190.188.1.400, is that the same as 190.188.1.40? _________ the same as 190.188.1.4? _________ the same as 190.188.1.004? _________ And, is the default gateways always the same (or a variation of ) the OP address, i.e. is the default gateway of 190.188.1.4 the same as 190.188.1.400? ___ (if so, why don't they put the 2 zero's here too?) ____ Thanks, George Tag: print cartridge light continues to blink after all efforts to reso Tag: 287003

    - Remote Desktop locks up local computer I am running RDP on my local XP pro machine (box 1). I connect to it by running the remote desktop client on another XP pro machine (box 2) on my LAN. Most of the time when I log off the remote session I cannot access box 1 from the keyboard, and the screen is blank. CNTL, ATL, DEL does not return the login prompt. So far, the only solution I have been able to do is shut down the computer and restart it. Are there any suggestions I can try to correct this problem?

Not sure about your printer but other printers have cartridges that
have a IC chip on each with a "expiry" date.

You may get more info for this on

This would be a question for HP tech support, it is not at all related to XP
networking.
