    - WiFi "Limited or no connectivity" issues (XPSP2) As I understand it, the "Connected" but "Limited or no connectivity" status is active when there _is _an established "physical" connection between the computer and the router - but _before_ the WPA-key has been sent (or acknowledged?). When I shutdown the system it issues Info Msg 4201 "The system detected that network adapter xxx was connected to the network and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter". It is stated elsewhere that the msg is issued when the adapter is "enabled _or_disabled" which indicates that "normal operation" should be understood as "no operation" in this case. This is confusing, at least ;-) Upon startup the same infoMsg is issued twice, 45 seconds apart, but the internet connection does not get up. And concurrent with the second message, a warning 1003 is issued. "Your computer was not able to renew its adress from the network... cancelled by the user... will continue to try" BUT, a) it has a fixed adress already (so it should not be renewed in the first place), b) the user (me) has not interferred in any way (so, what user was that, actually). 43 seconds later it makes another try, which results in Warning 1008, with similar content asbefore "Your computer was not able... semaphore timeout... willl continue to try". 3 second later Dhcp has obviously given up getting the adress over the network and assigned it an entirely new adress of 169.254.75.111 (despite the fixed one, which is different). So now the computer is "Connected" but with "...no connectivity" and the wrong IP adress. I have to resolve this situation by manually disconnecting, and then reconnect again. Upon reconnect the WPA-key is being shown to me (in a sense, because only stars are shown ;-) which I then "OK" and send to the router. After that the link is up. I _assume_ that the problem is that the WPA-key is not sent (or acknowledged) as it should on the automatic connection tries during the boot sequence. So my big question is: Q1: What can I do to make the system establish the fully "connected" connection by itself during the boot. Curiosity questions are e.g... Q2: Isn't there some logical error when the "connected but not connected" state makes the system forget that the IP adress is fixed and should not be retrieved from the network. Q3: Is it really proper to issue a msg stating that the adapter "was connected to the network" and that the system has "initiated normal operation" when in fact the adapter has been disconnected from the network because it was disabled because of the shutdown. Q4:Why can't the system on its own identify this "connected but not connected" situation and re-establish the connection automatically, whithout my intervention? I should stress that this computer has a WiFi network connection only. It does have an Ethernet cable adapter too, but no cable is connected to it and the system makes no attempts to use it (at least none that makes a trace in the event log).

    - Help installing wireless routers Hi, I have been using the following setup for a couple of years now without any trouble. Netgear WGT624 V2 (Wireless) IN WLAN Cable modem OUT LAN to XP box OUT LAN to wired hub (see below) OUT to VOIP MODEM (Engin) WIRED LINKSYS 10/100 16 port IN FROM Netgear above OUT LAN to other XP boxes I also have a Compex Netpassage 16 which has wireless and 4 hard ports. I want to be able to use my laptop wireless which is quite away from the Netgear wireless but close enough to one of the XP boxes (say box 2) which is fed from the wired hub. What is my best way to do this? Can I feed the cable from box 2 into the Compex then out of the compex to the wired hub? Would I then be able to get a signal from my LAN to the laptop? Sorry if this is confusing.. :-) rock Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288611

    - Can't connect using Remote Desktop I am having a problem connecting to my home computer from my laptop using remote desktop. I have a Linksys wireless router with the desktop connected to the router and the laptop connected wirelessly. I can connect to my desktop from the laptop using the IP address that the router assigns, namely 192.168.1.100. However, I can't connect when I use the IP address assigned to me by my internet provider, Bresnan. I am new to this and would appreciate any help. Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects?

    - Bizarre wireless network config issues I use Windows zero-config for my wireless network access. I have a D- Link DWL-G650 card (b/g). At home I regularly connect using wireless. That's how I work most of the time. Two days ago I took my car in for service at a dealer and tried to use their wiFi access point. Whatever I did, the network would not show up in the "View Available Networks" window. I spent the entire 3 hours trying to resolve this issue. Then I went home and reconnected to my default network at home, where I worked fine for the next two days. This afternoon, I took my laptop to my daughter's music studio. When I opened the WiFi "View Available Networks" panel here, it showed a list including all the wiFi networks I couldn't see at the dealer!!! WTF?? After two reboots, things returned to normal and showed only the networks available here at the studio. What is going on? Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288606

    - Resolving MAC Address to Hostname Is there a command-line command to resolve the MAC address of a device to it's hostname? I'm getting a conflict that show's the MAC address of the other machine, but when I try to trace it by physically tracing the cable connected to the switch, I can't find where it goes. (poor labeling by the person who set it up). If I have the hostname, I'll have a better idea of what and where the device is. Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288605

    - Help - Generic host process needs to close Using Win XP Home Edition SP1. Every time I go online via ADSL broadband I get at least one "Generic Host Process .........and needs to close". The Event log has nothing in the App or the module entries. The error occurs usually during the first five minutes of online time. I have found that the controlling Windows process allows me about 30 secs to write my last will and testament before pulling out the rug. Also found (reboots were hugely annoying) that if I can log-off and close just AOL BEFORE about 30 secs, and then click the "Don't Send" option on the warning window, all I have to do to recover is restart AOL thus avoiding a cold restart. As for what changed, well AOL changed the broadband setup to something called "DialBB" (and told us they were doing it) but their help service doesn't seem to know what's going on my end. Anyone seen this please or got any clues? Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288589

    - extra connectivity icon in system tray yesterday, an extra connectivity icon appeared in my system tray. It doesn't light up indicating activity and I have checked my network connections in control panel and no new ones are reported. I thought it was a fluke that happened when everything loaded, but after rebooting, it is still there today. When I mouse over it, it doesn't provide a bubble explaining what it is, and if I go into taskbar properties, it isn't presenting there. I haven't installed any new software. How do I fix this?

    - "Limited or no connectivity" problem Win XP Home, dLink cable modem and dLink wireless router. Dell desktop connected via Ethernet to router. One other machine connected via wireless. That machine works fine. This problem just started last week on the wired desktop. All of a sudden, I'm seeing a "Limited or no connectivity" error message on the system tray. If I plug the desktop cable directly into the cable modem, it acquires an IP address as well as DNS info, and connects to the internet normally. The desktop IP properties are set to acquire an IP address automatically, and this is working when connected to the cable modem. Other things I've tried: 1. For testing, I connected a laptop to the router via the same Ethernet cable the desktop was using. The laptop works fine this way, as it does with a wireless connection. 2. I've tried swapping cables. I don't see anything blocked on the router. 3. I've powered down the modem, router, and desktop several times. 4. I don't see any odd settings on the router. 5. I've looked at other threads. One mentioned the "Limited or no connectivity" problem, but said rebooting the router fixed it. It didn't for me. Also, since a laptop will work correctly on a wired connection to this router, I think that means the router is ok. 6. I've seen this problem reported elsewhere, but those reports refer to a problem when SP2 was first installed. This doesn't apply here. Also, as I said, the problem is only with connecting to the router, not to the cable modem. 7. AVG 8 was running on this desktop when this started. I uninstalled AVG and installed the free McAfee from Comcast. This made no difference, as I expected since the Ethernet connection worked normally when directly connected to the cable modem.. Similarly, I've tried with Windows Firewall enabled and disabled. 8. One thing I did not try was giving the desktop a fixed IP address. At the time of my testing the problem, it was the only PC connected directly or by wireless, so there shouldn't have been any address conflict. 9. I did not notice if SP3 had recently been installed. (This is a friend's home network.) But again, the reported SP problem would block any Ethernet connection, not just one to a router. I'm baffled by this inconsistent behavior. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288563

    - removing 'internet gateway' in network connections. Hi group, (I asked this question in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and was advise to try my luck in this group.) [background] A few weeks back we had an ADSL outage. I setted up a temporarely wireless connection and shared it with others in the office. [/background] Now our ADSL is up again, but I cannot get rid of the this connection. I just want to use my good old Lan direct connection to the gateway. But I cannot remove the 'internet gateway'/'internet connection'. I have no troubles or anything (and all my networkfunctionality is up and running fine) but I prefer to have as little connections as possible to worry about. ;-) At the moment I have 3 other connections listed under "Wireless or high speed Internet": 1) Wireless connection (which is disabled) 2) Local Area Network (enabled) 3) 1394 connection (disabled) I check all three above via properties and made sure (under Advacnced tab) that the checkbox is NOT checked. Checkbox reads: "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection." How can I get back to my old situation and remove this connection sharing? -> rightmouse menu gives 'remove' but it is grayed out. A little additional info: - I run XP prof. SP3. - I have Windows Firewall disabled (In favor of McAfee firewall) - If I disable my normal LAN connection, the connection sharing disappears. It stays away after enabling the LAN connection. - After a reboot it is always back. So I expect it must be something that gets activated at startup. I couldn't find anything I recognize in startup or registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) Thanks for your time.

    - User wont auto login to mapped drives I just built a new computer with a fresh install of XP. I've been able to setup everything just fine except the mapped network drives. The first user I made works perfectly because every time that user logs in it will automatically connect to the drives and login. Other users will only connect but still require username and password Even if I *copy* that user account that works fine or try to make a new user account (recreate the mapped drives and setup the user/pass and option to automatically reconnect) none of them will automatically login. It's frustrating because I created the first user that will automatically log in just fine and I'm not doing anything different. I'm especially confused at why it wont work when I copy the user account to another profile. It should work but it doesn't. Thanks Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288555

    - Dial-up Modem Must be re-initialized every time to connect to my I Starting about a month ago, I can no longer connect to my ISP at will with my modem. I started getting the response from my modem dialog, "Connected to remote computer", "Connected to remote computer" (yes twice), "Unable to establish a connection". After a re-boot of my system with a "Z" in the initialization settings for my modem I can connect ONCE. After that, I must re-boot to connect again. This seemed to start with a windows update about a month ago. I know because I manually choose the updates due to my S L O W connection. My first step was to update my drivers for the modem which I did. No success. I installed a new modem and had success connecting about 3 times in a row but the next day I tried, I got the same error shown above. Now both modems require the "Z" command in the initialization to get them to connect. Help! Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288546

    - Frequent Network Drops Hi; I support a LAN with approx 25 WinXP Pro SP2 clients and 2 Windows 2003 SP2 servers. The servers are connected via GB and all workstations via 100Mbps. I have 2 Dell OptiPlex 745 XPPro SP2 machines that experience network drops quite frequently, sometimes up to 4 times/hour. They lose their connection to a mapped drive and are unable to ping either server when this happens. The connection is usually restored within about 30 seconds. I've tried different nics, updating nic drivers, swapping patch cables, changing ports on the switch, even changing the 48+2 port switch without success so far. Could this be a cabling issue between these two machines? Any good network diag tools I could run on these machines to track down this issue?

    - Sharing files and printers I am having problems sharing files and printers on my home wireless network. The server can ping the client and can access the shared documents folder and printers on the client. However, the client cannot ping the server nor access shared documents or printers on the server. Server is running XP Professional 2002 SP2. Client is running XP Home 2002 SP2. Problem began when I replaced the server with a new computer. The old server (XP Home) worked fine. Both computers can access the internet with no problems via a Linksys router and cable modem. The server connects directly to the modem, while the client connects via wireless.

    - Is ICS my only option ? Dear network experts. Hopefully someone can offer some solutions. Current network - Wireless router using 172.16.0.x range for my network. I have a XP MCE pc connecting to the internet using a wireless NIC PCI card. Connected to the LAN port of this MCE pc is a Sony PS2 console and I have enabled ICS on the MCE pc. Thus the MCE's LAN port becomes 192.168.0.1 and the PS2 is set to DHCP. With this configuration I am able to play online games on my PS2 utilising the MCE wireless connection to the router. My desire is to connect a 2nd PS2 to the router and play the 2 PS2s against each other. My problem is - because the 1st PS2 is behind ICS on 192.168.0.x I can't ping it from my 172.16 network and therefore I doubt the 2 PS2s will see each other. What changes do I need to make to get the 2 PS2s talking when 1 of them is going through my XPMCE pc ? Can I simply ditch ICS and just bridge MCE's wireless and LAN ports and then set the MCE PS2 to a 172.16.0.x IP ? How is bridging different to ICS'ing ? Thankyou very much.

    - Winsock Issues: Is this the appropriate place to post? DFXHHQ38 Hello, I am in desperate need of some help. I am in the UK and have recently changed my ISP from Virgin to Sky. Apart from the atrocious and pathetic service offered by Sky to me, I have discovered that my internet connectivity is down because of a Winsock error. The diagnostic program Netdiag is so unreliable that although it first notified me that the error was due to an LSP in the Winsock, it has never notified me since I deleted the Registry entry and the Program folder entry about the error ever again. Instead the Netdiag tells me that it cannot connect to the internet because the http, https and ftp ports are blocked by a firewall which is wrong because I turned the firewall off (rendering myself vulnerable) only so I could connect to the internet. After trial and error connections on many occasions I saw the Microsoft support page http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457156.aspx This advised typing â??netsh Winsock reset catalogâ?? in front of the C prompt. Although I have restarted the computer on a number of occasions, doing that has not restored connectivity even though the Winsock has been reset according to the computer. I only manage to connect to the internet by trial and error after many messages that the problem may instead be in the modem and to turn the modem off and on and then to contact my ISP which is pointless because as I mentioned above Sky broadband hardly ever respond. I tried another ISP and the computer connected without any hassle so the problem is with the ISP although I just want to make sure before I take the rogues at Sky broadband to court. Does anyone please know what to do about the Winsock error other than spending another 100/- and reinstalling windows and losing data just because Sky Broadband is a third-rate ISP? I also have received information that this is a Registry error but again am not sure how to ascertain or remedy that. I await your kind response. Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects?

    - Access to LAN, No access to Internet I have a wired home network and DSL. DSL modem, D-Link router/hub, 4 desktop computers (2 with XP SP2 and 2 with XP SP3). Everything worked fine last night. This morning, all the computers except one work fine. The dysfunctional computer (Dell 1100 with SP3) cannot connect to the internet now, though it can still connect with the other computers on the LAN and the other computers can connect to it. This is just the opposite of any network problems I have ever experienced, since it is usually trying to connect to other computers that is problematic, not to the internet. I have checked all the connections, restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the network card driver, ran the network connection wizard again, ran LSPfix (no problems found), totally turned off all of Norton 360's firewall, autoprotect etc., and have now hooked up my laptop to the LAN cable that was running to the problem PC, and can connect to the internet just fine on it (I am on the laptop writing this now). A couple of other oddities that someone may be able to connect all the dots together and know what the problem is. I cannot access the router via Internet Explorer nor ping it from a command window from the problem PC, and even though I can access all the other PC's via Windows Explorer (I even copied files between them to make sure), I cannot ping any of them either. I tried doing a system restore to yesterday, even though I have made no changes to the system in a while now, and it failed. I believe this is due to having the Truecrypt encryption program on 2 of the 3 partitions of the hard drive, though not on C:\ where the operating system is. I think I found out a long while ago that system restores always failed when Truecrypt was encrypting any partitions on a drive at startup, even if the one the operating system was on was not. I am not an expert, but not a novice either, and this is way to confusing for me. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Tag: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288499

    - 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: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? 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: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? 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: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? 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: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? 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: ICS - log users, connects and disconnects? Tag: 288415

Is it possible to get a list of users (computers) that are using connection
sharing? The "net view" command does not always work. Where can I get a
list of the ip's assigned to to which systems?

Is there anything like a client list where I can see mac addresses, ip;'s
and expirations?

..thanks..

No, that isn't possible. ICS has a rudimentary DHCP allocator and
doesn't make that information available.
