    - 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: anti-virus suggestions 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. (The Wins-Server settings are deployed by DHCP options) Thank you Lothar Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233635

    - 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.

    - active directory usage on client PC Hi there, We will migrate to active directory shortly. Does this incur a big load on the client PC? For ex. a W2K Pro Pentium machine with 128 MB of memory will see any additional load? Do I need to upgrade memory, CPU? Thanks a lot, T Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233629

    - 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: anti-virus suggestions 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: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233625

    - DNS question Hi there, I will be migrating to active directory. We currently use Unix DNS inside and outside. While I can use windows 2003 DNS in active directory on the inside to replace present Unix inside name resolution, can I also forward the external DNS queries from the inside W2K3 DNS to our outside DNS server to be resolved? Our outside DNS server also holds our domain. Thanks a lot Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233622

    - windows 2k login prompt or how I screwed up. I mistakenly posted this in the microsoft.=ADpublic.=ADwin2000.=ADgeneral before I found this group, sorry about that. Hi, We only run workgroups on our network, we do not have a domain. The other day the boss asked me to change the network settings so that all computers would be on the same workgroup. At the end of the day I had one more computer to go, I was in a rush and accidently set it to a domain. Now when the computer boots up, the administrator login requires a password and a domain to connect to. I want to get this computer network settings back to using workgroups. How do I do this? I have tried safe boot but no luck. Your help is greatly appreciated. thanks Bradley Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233621

    - Proxy server I have a windows 2000 web server which works fine for the last 5 years. This server gives access to the internet for 10 windows xp workstations through a proxy server. The problem is that some applications do not work because they need direct access to the internet. I have tried several times to setup the NAT service but the result was awful and I had to setup the server from the beginning. Can someone help me to solve this problem?

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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: anti-virus suggestions 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: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233543

The problem is that the networking utility that was installed with the card is not showing any available connections in it...even though the card is connecting as it should. This problem first started with my old wireless G notebook card..this is why I bought the N. It appears to be a problem with the computer, not the networking utility. I noticed in the registry under network adaptors ({4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}), it is not installing a new registry key for the wireless N card. I'm assuming it should be.

The (undesired) result I'm getting on one system is as follows: Interface: MS TCP Loopback Interface Canonical Name: Chris <---- computer name hostAddress: 127.0.0.1 Interface Broadcomm NeXtrem Gigabit Ehternet Driver Canonical Name: 192.168.12.20 hostAddress: 192.168.12.20 On another system called "Rock", I get the desired result, with the exact same code: Interface: MS TCP Loopback Interface Canonical Name: 127.0.0.1 hostAddress: 127.0.0.1 Interface Broadcomm NeXtrem Gigabit Ehternet Driver Canonical Name: Rock <---- computer name hostAddress: 192.168.12.40 Anyone know what could cause this behavior? I've tried just about everything. I think I'm going to have recode around this nasty bug. That means I'll have to modify some complicated, inherited spaghetti code, instead of a hoped for tweak. I've tried a bunch of things already (modifying hosts, lhmhosts, disabling dns lookup service, ipconfig /dnsflush /registerdns, enabling LMHOST lookup, changing the system name, searching through the registry for computer name and 127.0.0.1). As far as I can tell, all the relevant settings between the two systems are identical. Any help would be vastly appreciated! ps: java code used to display this output: import java.net.*; import java.util.*; public class GetPublicHostName { public static void main (String args[]) throws Throwable{ System.out.println("abc"); NetworkInterface iface = null; for (Enumeration ifaces = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces(); ifaces.hasMoreElements();){ System.out.println("efg"); iface = (NetworkInterface)ifaces.nextElement(); System.out.println("xInterface:" + iface.getDisplayName()); InetAddress ia = null; for (Enumeration ips = iface.getInetAddresses(); ips.hasMoreElements();){ ia = (InetAddress)ips.nextElement(); System.out.println(ia.getCanonicalHostName() + " " + ia.getHostAddress()); } } } Thanks!

    - Internet Connection Problems Hello, I'm building a mini/small data center or server network to study & practice network/system administration practices. I have a 3Com OfficeConnect Router (3CR860-95) & a 3Com OfficeConnect Switch (3C16792/16-port). I have 1 Dell C600 (Windows NT SP5), 1 HP Compaq nc6000 (Windows XP SP2), 1 Dell Precision 610 (Red Hat 8), 2 Dell PowerEdge 2400 w/2 NICs (Windows 2000 Professional) 1 Dell PowerEdge 2400 w/2 NICs (Mandrake 2007), 1 Compaq 5500 (Windows 2000 Server). Every component gets connectivity, but every 3-5 days I am not able to connect to the Internet, or when I login in the morning, I have to wait up to 2 hours to get connectivity. Can someone tell me what is wrong??? Thank you, Charles L. Phillips Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233513

    - Active Directory Design Hi At work we thought to build a fresh/new active directory with windows 2003 enterprise edition/exchange 2003 and isa 2004. But we have the following doubts: 1. How should we arquitect our active directory based on organization units (need examples and good white papers) A) Should AD / OU be build based on group policy? B) For better jobs assign should the OU be manage by a group of IT team and other OU by other tecnichians? 2. The actuall distribution list allow to a "normal" user add himself to a group at other group that it doesn't belong. How to correct this issue in the this fresh AD? 3. We have some locations with servers but other don't. Should we create a subnet for each location/ip address or just create a subnet where exists servers? 4. How often should sites replicate with each other? 5. Should be the router distributing the dhcp service or should be the server? What is the better choice?... and why. 6. In the actuall network infraestructure how can I see/do tests so I can be sure what was the first PDC to be build in the actuall network design? I hope someone have the patience/courage to help me out on this issues. Good work week, Thanks Ricky Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233502

    - Internet access with router I have setup a win2k server network with clients mainly on win2k and a couple on winxp. The clients have fixed ip addresses and look for a dns server. For a long time only one client has had internet access using a usb broadband modem. However, I recently tried to install a router and although I could communicate with it across the network, I could not get internet access. Eventually, after speaking to my isp, BT, they gave me 2 dns server addresses to try which gave internet access, but stopped access to the rest of the network from that PC. What should I do?!

    - Block Internet Access Hallo! Currently I am using 3Com router. I plan to block Internet access for the LAN users through the router. Initially, I plan to block port 80. Users can still check email through MS Outlook/Outlook Express. Any other suggestion that I need to take into consideration so that Internet access is totally blocked. Danke!

    - 2 machines cannot ping each other Hi there, I have 2 machines on the LAN one W2K Pro with no firewall and one XP Pro0 with the firewall off, they have DHCP IPs, same mask and gateway but cannot ping each other by either IP or name but they can ping gateway. If I bring a third machine they can ping it but pinging the 2 machines above or VNC into them, they do not respond. I have a feeling windows is corrupt.

    - Laptop rarely shows up in workgroup browser I have a peer-to-peer network with mostly Win2K machines. The master browser is my always-on main work computer running W2K SP4. I have a laptop connected via a wireless router, and the connection is solid and reliable. However, the laptop almost never shows up in the list of "computers near me". I can always open the window into its hard drive via its IP address, like \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\C. Quite often I cannot open the hard drive via \\Name\C, unless I first go to the laptop keyboard and open the hard drive of my work computer from there. What gives? How do I get a transient computer to show up reliably while it's actually connected? I've already looked around and found (and implemented) techniques to lock down the master browser, but that doesn't seem to help with this one computer. No other computers show the same problem, even though they are turned on and off fairly randomly. Steve Hendrix Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233491

    - 2 workstation names Hi there, For some reason I seem to have 2 workstation names on my W2K Professional. One is in My Computer, Properties, Network Identification or by issuing hostname command, let us call it workstation1 and one comes up when I issue the following command: echo %logonserver% command let us call it workstation2. How can I remove one name? I am also getting error 5719 on it for some reason it is not authenticating with the domain controller but with local machine's second name. Hosts and Lmhosts do not have the 2nd name. In ipconfig I do not have any DNS/Wins servers for some reason, I am on an AD network. Thanks a lot, T Tag: anti-virus suggestions Tag: 233486

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?

I recommend you to download trial versions of Trend Micro's antivirus
applications and evaluate them on Virtual Servers. I have used lots of
server , client and application specific AV applications from Trend Micro's,
Symantec's, McAffee's, etc. But I was happy with Trend Micro's Server
Protect products.
