    - 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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.

    - 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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?

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?

    - 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC 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."

    - What "Use a proxy server for your LAN" setting means? Hi All, In IE Connection-->LAN_Setting Setting, can someone tells me what "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox means without setting Address and Port (and if you click on Advance, everything is blank)? That's how it's set in my work place. Thanks, Homer Tag: sharing files with windows 98se PC Tag: 233544

    - 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: sharing files with windows 98se PC Tag: 233543

    - Network Icon Speed differs from what I set to Hello: Using windows 2000 server, SP4. If I change the property "Speed & Duplex" under 'Configure, Advanced' to 10mb full/half, 100mb full/half and then restart my computer. When I hold the mouse over the network icon in the system tray the speed ALWAYS says 1.0 Gbps. How do I know if the change in speed/duplex is taking effect.

    - Registry Value for Network Adaptors I have windows 2000 pro and I installed a Belkin Wireless N Notebook Card on my PC. 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. Can anyone tell me why this might be? Thanks -- fmanko Tag: sharing files with windows 98se PC Tag: 233531

    - Major problem with hostname resolution in Win2K Hi, I'm having a terrifically difficult time getting the hostname of my win2k computer to resolve to the correct, external IP address (as opposed to 127.0.0.1). I think it's a Win2K problem, Here's the issue: I'm using java to display the network interfaces and their names on two identical Dell Latitude D800 Win2K systems. 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!

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?

THanks, littleberry

Under the Tools / Map Network Drive item, type this address:

\\Win98PC\Win98Share

Use the correct computer name and the correct share name
instead of "Win98PC" and "Win98Share".
