    - Can't connect to a wireless network in Windows 2000 I cannot get a wireless network connected in Windows 2000 Pro. I have set up a home wireless network with a Netgear router and two computers, one Windows XP and the second a MACBook, both of which network connect OK. A third machine, an IBM Thinkpad running Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) is a problem. It has a Sweex PC card, which detects my network, but will not connect. It just says "waiting for peer...". One thing that concerns me is when I open "Network connections and Dial Up connnections" and right click the LAN icon labelled for the Wireless card. The menu shows no items for "View available wireless networks", "status" or "repair". In Windows XP, "Properties" gives access to the network password setting, but I do not get this access in Windows 2000 and so I cannot set the network password. (The network icon is labelled "Local area connection" , but shows "802.11g/b Wireless LAN Client Adapter" when the mouse hovers). Could someone give me advice on this problem?

    - Incorrect Alternate DNS Server Hello, We recently removed a W2K Server that was acting as a secondary DNS server. We then added a new w2003 server and made it the DNS server. When I look at individual workstations on the network I see that they still see the old server and register it for the alternate DNS server The old DNS server does not show up in Active Directory Sites & Services. I did not see anything in DHCP. Between the primary & secondary servers the replication looks like it is working fine. Thanks for any help.

    - disk cleanup I have an SBS 2003 server running a SQL database application off of it's "T" drive. If I run disk cleanup while database usage is high the system freezes, and then gives the blue screen of death. Assuming hardware is fine, is there any reason this would happen? Or is it best to not to a disk cleanup unless users are out of the database on that drive? Basically, I just want to know if it's normal for a disk cleanup to drain so much of the CPU's resources. All it was doing was compressing 40 MB of old files. Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 234075

    - Idle sessions not disconnected Hello, We have a Windows 2000 Sp4 machine acting as a small file server. Therefore, we get the 10 sessions limit. The problem is idle sessions don't get disconnected at all (they show hours of idle state), preventing new users from accessing to shares. Initial value was set to 15 mn that I changed to 10 mn, but the problem is still there even after a reboot. "net config server" shows all those values OK. Any idea ? Thanks.

    - NDTG (NetDesicion Traffic Grapher) (MRTG/PRTG type application) The NetDecision Traffic Grapher (http://www.netmechanica.com/products/?prod_id=1022) monitors network and bandwidth usage as well as various other network parameters like memory usage and CPU utilization, providing system administrators with live readings and periodical usage trends to optimize the efficiency, layout, and setup of leased lines, switches, routers, firewalls, servers, and other network components. NetDecision Traffic Grapher is an easy to use software that monitors network parameters via SNMP or using custom scriptable polling agents. It allows you to quickly and easily set up and run a monitoring station for networks. With just a few mouse clicks you can log the amount of data flowing through routers, monitor CPU and RAM utilization, check disk space usage, etc. The most common case is monitoring the bandwidth usage of leased lines, routers, and firewalls via SNMP. You can also monitor many other aspects of your network environment and computer infrastructure. NDTG provides out-of-the-box graphs and dashboards for CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space usage, interface utilization, service response times, interface errors etc. This helps users gain better visibility into the performance of servers, routers and switches and the overall network. NDTG makes network performance monitoring effortless to set up and users can quickly get live, daily, weekly, monthly, annual or custom period graphs out-of-the-box. NDTG allows users to setup monitoring of custom SNMP MIB variables. Traffic Grapher makes network performance monitoring truly vendor- independent. You only need access to the SNMP MIBs provided by your vendor. Traffic Grapher allows you to monitor critical parameters of any device and setup thresholds. NDTG simplifies the process of setting up initial monitoring configuration by discovering network devices such as routers, switches, servers, printers etc automatically.

    - Network troubleshooting tips? (slow file transfer) I'm looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot a network I'm having some problems with. It's just a simple peer-to-peer, with about ten workstations. Most of the PCs are WinXP Pro but the PC I'm having problems with is our 'file' server and it has Win2K SP4 installed on it. It does very little else other than act as a File Server and a Daily Backup (automated). It's been fine for about two years but suddenly, and I mean very suddenly, the file copy time from one PC to another has increased dramatically. I have some automated jobs that copy a lot of files across the network (a couple hundred files, ranging in size from 5kb to 20mb) and this job used to take about 5-6 minutes. Now it takes over 20. Also, this network is 'isolated'; it has absolutely no Internet access (not even physically). Even so, I ran Spybot and an AV program to check and see if something had inadvertantly been added. These programs came up negative. I ran Network Monitor which showed that indeed the slowdown is with network traffic. At times, the data transfer speed is as low as 50-60kb/sec. Most of the network cards we use are 10mbs (a few are 100mbs). I've checked the task manager and it shows very little CPU usage even during the file transfers. I've checked the disk space and we're using only about 50gb out of the 150gb available. 528mb RAM, Pentium IV, some ASUS motherboard. Rebooted a couple of times, no joy. File copy 'within' the local drive (from Drive C t Drive C) is fine. I doubt that anyone has tinkered with the PC or the network settings as no one really has access to that room, and wouldn't know what to do to screw it up anyway. It's my job to screw it up. :) Ugh... I really, really, really get discouraged with Windows occasionally... Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 234054

    - W2K3 Server Logon Script Question... I have 2 DC's in my environment.

    - Windows 2000 Pro. sp4 crashes my router. I have a Airlink 101 AR680W 4 port/wireless router. I have 4 XP sp2 hardwired computers and 3 wireless laptops that work with no problem at all. If I plug in my Windows 2000 Pro. into the router it crashes the router. What I mean by "crash" is that all four of the lights that indicate traffic flow on each port blink at a very fast rate, you can still network on the LAN, but no-one can access the internet, it times out. This sometimes takes an hour or two to happen, other times it happens in seconds. If I unplug the Win. 2000 cable, reset the DSL modem and routher everything works again. I also plugged in a D-Link router and got the same results. I've looked at the MS knowledge base and found a few things that might have been the problem but the fixes didn't work for me. Any help is appriciated. Thanks, Dennis A. Halbasch Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 234030

    - all of a sudden, network password required? I have a 2 computer LAN and it's been working fine, with no problem accessing either computer from the other and moving files around. There are no passwords required for access. Today I had a corruption on one computer's C: drive and had to boot up to another Win2000 installation on the E: drive. Networking is functioning in the sense that the internet works on both computers(via a router), but when I try to access folders in #1 computer from #2 computer via My Network Places, a window pops up requiring a network password, with two lines to be filled, Connect As and Password. I'm stumped here since there is no password that I know of. How can I troubleshoot this. If I try the same type of access from #1 to #2, I get a message that says "the password of this user has expired". But this particular user name has administrator priviledges and also "password never expires" checked. What to do? I'd appreciate some suggestions.

    - Need EMC AX150 help BADLY, lost major share after reboot. HELP A client of mine has a 2003 server environment and a clariion AX1500SCI, he had a backup drive h:\ and then his c: drive was inflated much biggger that usual, which is an HP server acticing as a controller. He also installed Exchange on the server that is dishing out the EMC data. It was a bad purchase, like a10 man office, so they got ripped off. Anyways, this is all iSCSI, and in Navisphere I have 2 virtual disks Backup (drive H: which holds all the backup to disk stuff) and the Data, which houses the roaming profiles and user data, each about 400 GB in size. They are both assigned to the exchange server, and show as connected. Now, within the MS iSCSI initiator properties, I have everything set for both volumes to be persistent, whenI go to the bound voulumes/devices tab I see "H:\" and then "\\?\Volume\9bb23848-fe31-11db-bcbe-0019bbe55910}\". It has been a while since I have used EC, but H does show up in my computer and is browsable, just back-up dats. the other volume doesnt show and should contain the 2 shares and usually fals under c:\, if I try to remove the odd one from the bind tab it says it doesnt exist, but I can remove H:\. I really need to get the DATA, even if I mount it as another drive, anyone have any ideas?? I tried calling EMC, but they were completely useless. Everything was fine until someone rebooted the server. I didn't set this up, the firm that did took off, I am just trying to help them get functioning again.

    - Domain User get another profile I have a Windows 2000 Pro domain user connected to a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. This morning she login, but her desktop, My Documents and Outlook 2002 files are missing. When I check under c:\documents and settings it showed that she has a new profile folder, but her old profile folder still exist. When I went to RegEdit to do a FIND on ProfileList, her old profile information is gone. Is there a reason why a new Profile got create eventhough I did not delete nor create a new AD account for her? Is there a way she can be re-connected to her old profile folder, otherwise I would have to copy all her folders to the new profile folder.

    - cannot see a computer in My Network Places Hi eveyone! I have this issue that has been going on for about 8 months now and i CANT seem to resolve it. If you can help it would be GREAT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Issue: I Have a computer on a remote network that cannot be seen on my windows 2000 server (in My Network Places). HOWEVER, you can type the netbios name in directly and access all the shares on that remote computer. ALSO, you can access the remote computer's shares by typing in the IP address. You can obviously ping the remote computer as well ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been told that it has to do with the browser service, but I dont know how the heck that works (I have printed out the microsoft document, but it was just too confusing) and no-one can give me step-by-step instructions on how to resolve my issue.

    - setup shared pcs I have setup 2 PCs identically. Both have Windows 2000 Professional. Both PCs are sharing a router for Internet access. I have mapped the both hardrives to the other PC to make sure I have some kind of emergency way in...(hopefully). What I would like to do is allow users to login to either PC and their profile to be shared as one common profile so that regardless of which PC they login to, they will see the same profile information... ie. "My Documents" for the user that is logged in would synchronize? to the other PC. Is there a way of doing this? Is there an more viable solution?

    - Laptop does not allow access. I have a small network at home. Once networked in a workgroup each computer can see the others. I have a desktop (1) and two laptops (lets call them computers 2 and 3). Laptop 2 is a HP machine and Laptop 3 is a toshiba. Brand has nothing to do with the problem. Laptop 2 shows up on the network neighborhood directories of the others, but, when the other computers try to access laptop they get the following message. "\\jmlaptop is not accessible. The network path was not found. When I ping the laptop I get it just fine and Laptop #2 can access both of the other coputers just fine.

    - VPN Authentication to my Domain The issue is that my 10+ remote users connect to my network via a Nortel Contivity Client. The remote users are members of my Domain, but use cached accounts to logon to their laptops since the Domain/Controllers are not available. Once logged on they connect to the Network via the VPN client. They are connected to the network, but are not authenticated via the DC/Domain. My question is since they logon first, then connect to the network, how can I make the remote machines authenticate to the domain post logging on and using VPN software other than Microsoft and Ras? I have tried to map drives using IP addresses, but the users are prompted for credentials to access the mappings, which that session ends every time they logoff. I would like the remote users to be able to access everything they have permissions to access as if they were connected locally. Iâ??ve tried using the LMHost file to point to the DC and the TCP/IP Advanced setting to point to the DNS server, but that doesnâ??t seem to work to authenticate as if they were local, and they would need to reload it post logon. Also, I want to make this automated so the users donâ??t have to run any special commands, they just have to connect to the VPN and have everything at their finger tips.

    - User profile and logon script doesn't work over VPN I've been setting up an office with 4 clients using VPN to connect to a remote server. The whole idea is to get the user folders centralised so no matter what computer they're on they have the same files, as they move from the LAN to the remote office from time to time. I've got the VPN connection to work just fine. I can browse the LAN without any latency, but the profile settings does not apply when logging in. I want the 'profile' tab in AD to apply for VPN connected users, in the same manner as for the LAN users today. But I can't get it to work, and I've been all over the net trying to find a solution. The closest I get is this: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/inside/techan26.mspx?mfr=true (the topic RRAS, DUN, and the disappearing login script) This doesn't solve my problem though. I'd like to find a solution where I force the client to use the profile tab in AD. If I understand the above article correctly, it's a matter of a 5 second time-out. Is there no way to edit that time-limit? By editing the registry or whatever works... Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 233986

    - How to disable "Network Path Not Found" on Start-Up I have my desktop and laptop computers connected together in a peer-to- peer network with Windows 2000. Each morning when I turn on my computers, whichever one I turn on first stalls with a message that says something like "Cannot connect to computer B." Well, of course computer A can't connect to computer B because I haven't gone down to the other end of my apartment to turn on computer B yet. I can't very well be in two places at once can I? In the meantime, of course, Windows stops loading until I come back to the first computer and click a button to continue loading the operating system. There's also a little box that says something like "do not try to restore the connection in the future." Which I dutifully check each time. But the following morning the same thing happens all over again. How can I configure my network connection so that it will not stall Windows start up each morning when I turn on my computer? I'd like to be able to turn on my computer, go the the kitchen to fix a cup of tea and come back to find the operating system loaded and ready to get to work, instead of finding it stalled at that "can't find other computer" roadblock. Ideally I'd like Windows Networking to just wait its turn, and then after the operating system has finished loading, it could check for the network connection, and if it's not found, to just keep checking at regular intervals until I turn on the other computer. Can that be done? Will in Seattle a.k.a. "Clueless" Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 233939

    - M'I`5,Persecuti on ' my respons e to th e harassm ent -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= my response to the harassment. -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My first reaction. in 1990/91 was to assume that if I broke contact then they would not be. able to follow and would lose interest. So I did the things that have been suggested. by other people; I sold my television, stopped listening. to the radio and tried to withdraw away from the sources of abuse as much as possible.. I reasoned that they must have more important things. to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone if it were made difficult for them to continue. their harassment. I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness. of the abusers. They did not let up but instead "got to" people around me,. mainly people at work, to do their dirty work for them. I went. to see my GP, who refused to believe what he was being told, and refused to direct me on. to anyone who could be of practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed. that the GP admitted the matter. was outside his competence and suggested going to the police. In the summer of. 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a private detective agency to sweep our house and telephone. for bugging devices. They conducted a thorough search and found nothing;. but as noted above, since the. existence of surveillance was being forced in my face by the harassers, you would. expect them to have taken the possibility of a counter-surveillance sweep. into account when planning the type of devices to be. employed. In Easter 1995. I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but the police have. not expressed any intention to do anything about the continuing harassment ("we're not. saying it's happening and we're not saying it isn't happening" were the. words used). I think the officer I spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of. it happening, although other members of the police force. obviously do know. From April 1995 until the. present time the matter has been discussed in a lot of detail on the Usenet. (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion has given birth to the. article which you are now reading. My hopes in posting to. Usenet were that wider publicizing would discourage the security services from continuing. their harassment, and "draw people out" into concurring with the truth of what. was being said. Neither of those have followed, but the discussion has served a. purpose in allowing this structured report to be. created. 9038 Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 233930

So much so, that they tried strenuously to suppress what. was being said, both by breaking the rules of netiquette in their responses on the forum, and directly by action to revoke. the account from. which the postings were issued. Yet the postings were within the normal. boundaries of behaviour for uk.misc, and. other less partisan spectators did not see justice in the censorship which was effected, as the following. excerpt shows; :Karen. Lofstrom (lofstrom@lava.net) wrote :>It. does seem that the frequency and the size of his posts are :>approaching. net abuse. However, IMHO, they aren't quite there yet. If :>his postmaster were to act in this instance, it would. raise troubling :>censorship. issues. The inescapable conclusion of the. censorship effected on the uk.* newsgroups is that the British are intent on their wrongdoing. remaining concealed, and therefore seek to subvert and. suppress freedom of speech, not only in their. own country where the media shows xenophobic bias and bile against all perceived enemies. within and without, but also in other countries which have their own statutes to. guarantee the basic human right of. free speech. It is absolutely necessary to bring their hate campaign out into the. open where it can be placed under scrutiny. and the harassers seen for what they are. That is the only way of making. it impossible for the security services to. carry it out. There is a wider dimension, though. Xenophobia as demonstrated by. British people and institutions over the last few years belongs to the same stable. as racial hatred. In one case, two youths on a Tube train made that racism explicit by referring to their. victim as a "soft toy, not. up to British Standards". Doubtless others victimize partly on the basis of race (isn?t it odd that they chose to torment someone. who is not ethnically. English?) while expressing their abuse in terms of another. genetic attribute, namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a genetic basis is wrong, but. while racial insults are illegal, abusing the mentally ill is neither against the. law nor subject to similar condemnation when it. is exposed. 6608 Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 233929

    - M'I`5 Persecution ' a buse in set- up situa tions and in p ublic -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= abuse in set-up. situations and in public -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Strangers. in the street have recognized me on sight many times, and shown awareness of the current thread of abuse.. To give you one example, in 1992 I was seriously ill, and a manager. at work somewhat humorously said that "it wasn't fair" that people were bullying me.. A few days later, I attended for the first time a. clinic in London as an outpatient, and on my way out was. accosted by someone who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis on the word. "fare". He repeated the word several times in this different context; that they should. have paid my "fare", each time emphasizing the word. For. two and a half years from the time their harassment started until November 1992. I refused to see a psychiatrist, because I reasoned that I was. not ill of my own action or fault, but through the stress caused by harassment, and that a. lessening of the illness would have to be consequent to a removal of its. immediate cause, in other words a cessation of harassment. I also. reasoned that since they were taunting me with jokes about mental illness, if I were to seek treatment then the. abusers would think that they had "won" and been proved "right".. Remember, the constant theme of any persecution. is, "we must destroy you because you're X", whether X is a racial or other attribute. In this case the. X was "we persecute you because you have brain disease". The similarity of this. logic to Nazi attitudes to the mentally ill is. striking. The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair" asked me in. winter 1992 why I didn't seek help from a psychiatrist;. was it, he asked, because "they would think they had won" if I sought treatment? That was something. I'd never said at work... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many. such things. over a period of months proves conclusively that people in the company knew what was going on, and in quite a. lot of detail. Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your fare". Most people's imagination does not go beyond moronic parroting. of the current term of denigration.. That is not surprising given the average level of. the abusers; if they do not have the intelligence to distinguish wrong from right. then neither will they have the capacity for anything other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic term. calculated to fit into. their minds. The first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in the. summer of 1990, although they increased in frequency and venom with time.. In July 1990 the first public. incident occurred on a tube train on the Northern line.. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the women sprang to my defence, saying "He looks perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill".. Their boyfriends of course. knew better, and followed the party line; one of them made reference to an "operation", apparently to work at the. tube station but implicitly to a visit that I had made. to hospital a couple of weeks previously. In August 1990 going home from college, soon after getting on. a tube train at. Gloucester Road I was followed by a group of four youths, who started a chant of abuse. That they were targeting me was confirmed by other. people in the carriage, one of whom asked the other "who are. they going on at, is it the bloke who just got on?" to which the. second replied "yes, I think so". I was tempted to reply, but. as in every other instance the abusers are enabled in their cowardice by physically. outnumbering the abused; any confrontation would result in my being beaten. up, followed by a complaint to the police that "he attacked us", and of course. he's ill, so he must have been imagining that we were getting. at him. Shitty, aren't they? But the shittiness. of the four youths on the tube train is as nothing compared to the episode on the National Express coach. to Dover in the summer of 1992.. While going on holiday to the Continent I was verbally set upon by a. couple travelling sitting a few rows behind. The boy did the talking, his female companion contributing only a continuous. empty giggling noise.. He spoke loudly to ensure other people on the coach heard, always about "they" and "this bloke" but. never naming either the abusers or the person he was. talking about. He said "they" had "found somebody from his school, and he was. always really stressed at school". They must have dug deep to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped out. of school, someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous. and keen to get their own back? The boy also said "he was. in a bed and breakfast for only one night and they got him". By a not unexpected coincidence. I had been in a B&B in Oxford a week. previously, which had been booked from work; other things lead me to the conclusion. that the company's offices were bugged for most of the 2 1/2 years that. I was there, so "they" would have known a room in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll. bet "they" didn't tell the company's managers their offices. were bugged, did they?). After a few minutes. of this I went back to where they were sitting and asked where they. were travelling. The boy named a village in France, and the girl's giggling suddenly ceased; presumably it permeated. to her brain cell. what the purpose of the boy's abuse was. This and other set-up situations are. obviously calculated to provoke a direct confrontation which would bring in the. police, with the abusers claiming that they were the ones attacked.. Again in 1992, outside the house. where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked by someone - not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with. some verbals thrown in for good measure. That was. something the people at work shouldn't have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in. front of me about, "I heard he. was attacked". The UK police have a responsibility for preventing assault occurring, but they. do not seem to take any interest in meeting that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is. that harassment does. not come within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and they will only become involved. once that happens. That is of course quite the wrong attitude for them to take, but as. I now understand, the police investigate only the. crime they wish to investigate; if they do not take your complaints seriously then. there is nothing you can do to make them take. action. 4178 Tag: Netbios name issues on AD server Tag: 233928

I have an active directory / wins / DNS server, Server1, which
resolves to ip address 10.0.0.1. In its domain, I've got another
server, Server2, which has the ip address 10.0.0.2.

My problem is as follows:

When I run nslookup on Server2, from Server1, the correct ip address
is returned: 10.0.0.2.
When I check the wins service on Server1, the correct ip address is
returned: 10.0.0.2.
If, however, I try to ping the name "Server2", it resolves to 10.0.0.1
-- which is actually Server1!
Similarly, if I run nbtstat on "Server2, 10.0.0.1 is returned
(incorrectly), but this time with Server2's MAC address!

Any ideas at all?

Sounds like DNS and WINS aren't agreeing on some of the records. Check to
be sure that both WINS and DNS have the correct leases for the right names
and IP addresses, delete any faulty records.
