    - Local Area Network (LAN) Local Area Network (LAN) Both an EtherNet (wire) network and a wireless network are referred to as a Local Area Network (LAN). A wireless network does not require hubs, switchers, or routers to include additional users on the network. Additional wireless users are supported just by being in the immediate physical span of the network. http://www.askstar.com.cn/health/Installing-Wireless-Technologies.htm Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233672

    - First hop timeout problem Just upgraded from W2k to XP SP2 IE7 I was troubleshooting a problem with with the Windows time service not syncing with any public internet time server. Whenever I would try to update the time I would get a message telling me an error had occurred. I tried to determine if the server was active by pinging it and it responded OK indicating the the problem probably wasn't a dead server. However, further checking with Tracert indicated the the first hop timed out but all the other hops worked as expected. Turns out this happens on any tracert, not just the time servers. I'm far from being a network expert but this tells me that the reason the time update isn'tworking is because Windows Time isn't able to make connection because of the timeout problem. So, my real problem appears to be this timeout of the first hop...can anyone think of a reason this is happening. I am not experiencing any problems with browsing the internet, sending/receiving mail, or any other issues that I am aware of. Am I totally out in left field? I would be most appreciateve for any help getting this problem resolved. Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233666

    - sharing files with windows 98se PC I have AT&T DSL and a router connecting both PC's (windows 2000 sp2 and windows 98se) and both have good access to the internet at the same time. So far, so good. I want to share files on both PC's with each other, and I am lost trying to figure out how to do that. I viewed the following microsoft webpage: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/g258717/ but it is ahead of me - I don't have any way of seeing my windows 98se PC on my windows 2000 PC (or vice-verse). When I go to "network and dial-up connectons", under the TOOLS tab, I select "map network drive", but, under "entire network, and also "computers near me", I only see my own windows 2000 PC - my windows 98se PC does not appear. How do I tell windows 2000 that there is another PC (connected via the router), and that it has the same workgroup name ("HOME") as my windwos 2000 PC has and that it uses the same protocols. I don't see any button for "detect a locally connected PC" or something logical like that - how do you let win2k know about it so I can select which drive to map?

    - File Sharing Mystery I just did a clean reinstall of Windows 2000, and now, I cannot access shares on another Win2K system. Every time I try, I get the username/password box and each time the username and/or password is not recognized. This happens when using the default share (C$) or an explicit share name assigned to a folder on the other Win2K system. Sharing back to the reinstalled version of Windows from the other machine still works just fine. Usernames and passwords on both systems are identical, and they are both set up on the same WORKGROUP. I have run out of ideas as to what might be wrong -- any ideas? TIA -- Jay (remove dashes for legal email address) Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233659

    - printers This is probably a simple question, but.... Oftentimes when I setup a new PC they may have printers they want that user to have. But the user has no signed in yet. Is there a way to create it so that when the user logs in, whenever they do, they will get those printers? I only know of doing this with a logon script. Is there any other way?

    - Naming a Win PC workgroup on a LAN Hello, What is the correct way to name a Win PC workgroup on a LAN? Seems any non-spaced word is acceptable. Now, the network setup wizard provides options for a domain name "name.dns" (Business connection), if not chosen the only Net ID would be the workgroup name, presumably ok for peer to peer interactions in a home LAN. Now if the system is to be networked with UNIX machines, FreeBSD and others how should this be best handled? I have a system so set up, using just the workgroup name and using the same name on the UNIX machines, no DNS extensions. However, the system seems to have some instabilities, sometimes it works fine and other times it doesn't => with responses of "Mixedgroup is not accessible. The network name cannot be found." in a Windows Explorer Dialog Box. -- Adam -- Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233647

    - Weekly Hottest Computer Free tips (30-10-07) Weekly Hottest Computer tips Hello Dear, Computer Free Tips will give you practical advice, great tips, and few tricks every weekday. This newsletter is sent out every Tuesday and is designed for those who love to learn Computer in detail. These are the Hottest Computer Tips of the last week. 1- How to protect your computer with advanced backup and recovery? A backup is a duplicate copy of a file, program or disk that can be used if the original copy is lost, damaged, or destroyed. Thus, if you regularly take backups of your sensitive data or programs and update them as and when needed, system failures can be covered easily through these backups. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/27_ghost_backup.html 2- How is virus activated on your computers? There are different methods through viruses may be transferred from one computer to another. Now- a-days, most of the viruses spread due to receiving unknown e-mail messages that contains viruses. When a user opens such an infected message, the virus is also loaded into the computer memory. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/25_virus_activated.html 3- How to detect viruses in a computer using multiple antivirus engines? Virus detection and its removal are made through an antivirus program which finds out viruses in a computer and then possibly removes or repairs the virus problem. But today an interesting tip, how to scan your system without any installed antivirus program. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/23_detect_viruses.html 4- How to Enable Boot Logging to troubleshoot windows startup problem? You can troubleshoot many of computer startup problems using windows boot logging. When you start you computer with enable boot logging feature, a log file will be created to identify the drivers and services that is creating the problem during startup. http://www.computerfreetips.com/oct_computer_tips/21_boot_logging.html Thanks ComputerFreeTips.com Team Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233641

    - anti-virus suggestions We got Symantec Endpoint which is a very impressive program. The problem is that it's so high end that our systems are slowing to a crawl. We have 5 year old systems in a network that run Windows 2000/2003 servers with 60 clients. Is there any anti-virus with centralized management that won't slow older hardware down?

    - Network Issues keep on going Semaphore Timeout ? Recent issues with a laptop are still ongoing. The laptop can see and has access to each of the other computers as it should. The other computers can see the laptop, but, can not access the directories properly. The last error I got was that the "network path was not found". I recently had to delete the TCP/IP protocol and reinstall it. after doing this everything was up. Sorry for the long preamble - How do we set the variables / parameters for the networking? Even a hint would be good. Thanks JMAC out Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233636

    - 3 sec deadtime by opening windows shares Hi, we have a mixed network (Windows 2000 AD/ Netware eDirectory) When try to access a Netware share - the content is listet prompt. When try to access a Windows share - the content is listet after a pause. The same occurs, when open a link with unc-path, or when we klick on a mapped drive. The second time the link/share opens immediatly. I suppose this is a problem of the master browser settings. Whe have a Wins-Server and the clients are configured to use the Wins-Server.

    - logon window disappeared I am using a win 2k pro desktop as the server and internet connection sharing computer for a home network. Clients are both running win xp home. Using a Linksey router/access point ethernet connection to the desktop. Both other computers, a Gateway laptop, and a Dell desktop are wireless.(live in very rural area, nothing but dialup available.) My question involves security. When I first set this up you had to logon to the server computer to access files or printers. All of a sudden this disappeared and now it is open access.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thxs.

    - Access Denied Hi, We have 3 Win2000 Server SP4 on the network. 2 Members and 1 DC. I sometime have to fix my collegue computers and want to use resources on the network like shares folders and Internet access. Because the employes PC don't need to be part of the Domain, I connect to servers by typing the server name in the run box like \\servername. Then a logon windows shows up and requires a domain user name. I type in a username and can see and access all available shares on the server. This works fine on member servers but doesn't on the DC? I got the following : \\servername is not accessible....Rights...Please contact.... and then Access Denied. How can I make this work on the DC since I have to access share files? I don't understand why by provinding a username and a password, I manage to connect to member servers but this one won't even let me go further in the connecting process. This DC replaced a another one a while ago and on the olf one, I could access it that way! I took a look at DC and Domain Security policy and can't figured out if there is anything wrong. How can I fix this please? Thanks in advance. Steve Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233626

    - VPN Hey gurus, I have one main office(20 users) and two remote offices(5 users, 10 users). The main office has Small Business Server. All clients are windows XP. Each office has static IP ADSL. Can I do this: each remote office connects via VPN to main office and becomes part of same domain as at main office (eg connect to Exchange, dhcp, browse shares etc) but when remote office users browse web, their web traffic stays off the VPN. Always grateful for advice. All offices have nice ADSL routers but more hardware can be had if needed. Thanks, John Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233625

    - Windows 2000 port filtering Hi Guys, We have a Windows 2000 IIS box that used to be hosted offsite but is now on our office connection. We have tried to enable RDP through its LAN interface (which was disabled, but we have now turned on) however it does not work. The LAN interface allows the IIS box to ping all our local machines by IP address, but telnet and all other types of RDP/Remote Control apps do not work. The IP filters and IPSEC stuff is all empty (not enabled) under the properties of TCP/IP for the network card, so I am wondering if this is possibly enabled through the registry. Also, there does not appear to be any software based firewalls and what not on the server so it will be nothing to do with 3rd party software. Thanks in advance. Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233611

    - Windows 2000 port filtering/blocking Hi, We have a web server that was previously hosted offsite, but is now on our office connection behind a seperate firewall. It has two nics, one of the WAN and one for the LAN, but the LAN nic was not connected to anything for security reasons. We now have connected the LAN nic temporarily to allow RDP access to the web server from our LAN, but this is not working. We can ping the LAN address of the web server, and the web server can ping our LAN, but for whatever reason, RDP wont work. We have removed and re-installed it, but no difference. I have also tried thrid party utilities for remote control of the system but these wont work either. It seems the web server only allows ping traffic to pass over the lan interface to our network (not even telnet works). The IP filtering and IPSEC settings for both network cards are empty, so I am wondering if there are any registry keys or similar that could be blocking this traffic? Thanks in advance for your help.

For my application, I can not use a 10/100 autosensing hub; it must be a 10M hub. The netgear one is not being produced anymore so I am in need of a replacement of some kind.

    - Cannot log in after Win XP upgrade Can someone please help, and explain in idiots language so that I fully understand the solution. At my place of work, I have dual boot system. Windows 98 SE on one, and Windows XP Pro on the other. My computer is connected to the network and both systems did connect, and I was able to log on to the network. I have upgraded the XP system with Service Pack 2. Now, I cannot log into the Network. When I try to set up my Network I/D (using name, password and domain I know to be correct) I receive this message, ...."the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". Nothing has changed on the server, and I am still able to log in on the Win 98 system. I have administrator rights on the XP system, so please tell me what's going on. It's driving me mad.

    - My Network Places Hi, I have a small problem with My Network Places on our Windows 2000 Server. The issue is that a PC doesn't appear in My Network Places, ALTHOUGH you can PING the IP address and ALSO the netbios name of the PC. It has me very puzzled. I have even shared printers and mapped drives and they all stay successfully connected. But it will not show up in My network places on the server. The PC, however (WinXP SP2 *firewall off*) can see the sever and all the other PC's in the network fine! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233584

    - Event Viewer Anomoly I run the company and need to pay attention to technical matters. I examined the event viewer. What is have listed below are shorted version of the event. My impression is the event viewer should be relatively clean. I asked the Sys Admin to fix these issues. That was weeks ago. Am I overreacting? I'm thinking the network should be without blemish. We're using IP addresses to map over the Wan and I prefer FQDN. I told the Sys Admin it's only three servers and 25 computers -and it shouldn't be too esoteric to fix things. Anyway have a look at these persistent events and let me know if I'm too concerned. Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Event ID: 5775 Deregistration of the DNS record '_gc._tcp.Warehouse._sites.laeyeworks.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 3268 LADC1.laeyeworks.com.' failed with the following error: DNS operation refused. Event Type: Error Event Source: NETLOGON Description: The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from EYEWORKS-BDC to EYEWORKS-PDC2 for c:\winnt\sysvol\domain using the DNS name eyeworks-bdc.laeyeworks.com. FRS will keep retrying. Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning. [1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name eyeworks- bdc.laeyeworks.com from this computer. [2] FRS is not running on eyeworks-bdc.laeyeworks.com. [3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers. Event Source: DNS Event ID: 4004 Description: The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone .. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone. The event data contains the error. Event Type: Error Event Source: NTDS KCC Event ID: 1311 Description: The Directory Service consistency checker has determined that either (a) there is not enough physical connectivity published via the Active Directory Sites and Services Manager to create a spanning tree connecting all the sites containing the Partition CN=Configuration,DC=laeyeworks,DC=com, or (b) replication cannot be performed with one or more critical servers in order for changes to propagate across all sites (most often due to the servers being unreachable). For (a), please use the Active Directory Sites and Services Manager to do one of the following: 1. Publish sufficient site connectivity information such that the system can infer a route by which this Partition can reach this site. This option is preferred. 2. Add an ntdsConnection object to a Domain Controller that contains the Partition CN=Configuration,DC=laeyeworks,DC=com in this site from a Domain Controller that contains the same Partition in another site. For (b), please see previous events logged by the NTDS KCC source that identify the servers that could not be contacted. These are the most glaring examples. It's just over the wire, a Wan, office to factory, a three mile distance. With such a tiny network I'd think our SysAdmin could easily correct these anomalies.

    - Mapping in a Profile Hello All, My LAN consists of a Domain Server and its clients. There are shared folders on the server for each user, which the user maps on the client login where he/she logs in. How can I map these individual shares as per the concerned login? Eg: Username: ABC Username: XYZ Shared on the server: D:\ABC D:\XYZ If ABC logs in on any computer, his profile should automatically map the server's \\ABC as his local X:\ and if XYZ logs in elsewhere, his profile should automatically map the server's \\XYZ as his local X:\ Thanks in advance Dev Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233556

    - Confusing WIndows 2003 RDP Issue I have a client at a remote site. They are part of a domain called domain "1" that is physically located somewhere else. They use a printer called "printer x". That printer is managed by "server3" in "domain 1". They connect to a server to use an application via rdp that sees this networked printer on their domain. The actual printer, however, is located in their office. When they connect to another domain's server for a client they do billing for they want to be able to use that printer as well. But the problem is: 1. that printer is not physically connected to their machine so it won't be seen as a client printer 2. the printer is networked and shared on another domain. My question is would it be possible to use that printer when they use RDP to connect to another server in a different domain? Keep in mind that on their local machine that printer does come up under printers as a network printer. Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233554

    - DNS and WINS I have two domain controllers. The first one went down about a month ago. It served as the primary WINS server. Around this same time one of the applications we use started to get really slow especially during printer operations. Under network settings user's systems were changed to the secondary DC since all the stations were set to look at the primary DC for DNS. This hasn't changed anything, and I also see a DNS error in the event viewer. It looks as if the system is trying to transfer information between the primary and secondary DC. That's fine since the primary is down. I would expect that. What I can't figure out is what is causing this slowness. ANy ideas? It's a mostly Windows 2003 environment with XP clients.

    - Are NICs the gate... or is it the Fiber...? Howdy, I have a LAN that includes a 150 meter run of fiber optic line. Right now, on each end, our (Win 2000 and XP) systems talk to each other over that line using 100mbps NICs. Mostly, we use that remote system to store images of the systems in our office, and so, the files are sometimes on the order of 20 gig in size. As you would guess, it takes a while... If we went to 1000mbps NICS, would we see faster speeds, or would the fiber (or something else) be the gate. Thanks for any thoughts on this, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

    - migrate dhcp service from win 2000 server to win 2003 server Dear all, thanks for your help. Current config: Windows 2000 server sp3 with DHCP service enabled: - mulit scope has been created for different ip subnet. (no superscope created) - ip helper address is use in our core cisco switch to let different subnet's pc to get ip address from their own vlan/subnet correctly. Right now, I need to migrate the DHCP service to a new installed Windows 2003 servers. I will install two win 2003 sp1 with DHCP service enabled for load blancing and to prevent dhcp out of service if one of server was down. Can I move the win 2000's dhcp db to windows 2003 server? Or I have to re-created it in both new win20003 server? For more than one DHCP server in the same subnet, I have read the best practice doc http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/75cd0e1f-f464-40ea-ac88-2060e6769f331033.mspx?mfr=true It mention that I should use supercopses when create scope for each subnet and assign ip range 50/50 on each dhcp server: Please correct me if my understanding is not correct, I did the following: 1st DHCP server: - create scope for each sub. Eg. subnet 1 IP Range 192.168.0.2-254/24 Gateway is 192.168.0.1 Exclude: 192.168.0.130-254 subnet 2: IP Range 192.168.1.2-254/24 Gateway is 192.168.1.1 Exclude: 192.168.1.130-254 Create a superscope:SCOPE1 and assign scope subnet 1 and 2 to the superscope SCOPE1. 2nd DHCP server: - create scope for each sub. Eg. subnet 1 IP Range 192.168.0.2-254/24 Gateway is 192.168.0.1 Exclude: 192.168.0.2-129 subnet 2: IP Range 192.168.1.2-254/24 Gateway is 192.168.1.1 Exclude: 192.168.1.2-129 Create a superscope:SCOPE1 and assign scope subnet 1 and 2 to the superscope SCOPE1. Does the above steps correct? How about the reservation? Should I create same reservation entry on both DHCP server? Does the reservation still work If one of DHCP server was down? For the old win2000 dhcp server, ip has been lease to a lot of pc. Can I just stop the dhcp in the old dhcp server and start the dhcp service on the 2 new dhcp server? Any error when client pc's lease time expired? Can they renew the ip from the new DHCP server without error and delay? Thank for your help Regards, Patrick Tag: Best Print Server Tag: 233543

Hello all, I've been having problems where the print spooler service
keeps crashing. I figured that I would put the printers on a dedicated
print server device such as the one by D-Link. Unfortunately, it
hasn't gone smoothly. I can't seem to make the thing "see" the second
printer. Does anyone recommend a print server device that I might try?

Hello Nick,

What operating system do you use? And do you have errors in the event viewer
from the print spooler service? Then post the complete errors here. Normally,
if you have network printers you can just connect them to a switch. Please
give some more info about your setup.

Best regards

I've had good luck using a run-of-the-mill windows workstation as my print
server. Or, if I'm lucky enough to have HP laser printers, I have each
workstation print directly to the printer via IP.
