    For some reason, when we turn our WinXP machine on here at work, it won't reconnect to 2 mapped drives and a networked printer, but only when we log in under the "TEMP" account. Is there an issue with naming an account temp? The other accounts work fine. If I double click a mapped drive it pops up a logon screen. I use the same account name and pass asI do logging in and it will work. It just doesn't connect to them automatically. The option to do so is checked by the way =) I even re-mapped both drives AND the networked printer. Is there a policy that needs to be edited? I checked the computer I am logging into, and everything is fine. Permissions are good and password is set to never expire for the temp account. I can't seem to find the problem.

    Bit Torrent(s) are formats of lossless music files. You can read more on this at www.sharingthegroove.org. I just started working with bit torrents, and I'll tell you, the sound is incredible. You can find soundbits recorded from Masters. I have a bunch of these live shows. Check it out.

     

    btw..I don't have any tray icons for my downloader.

    We just bought a brand new Courier business modem to replace our old sportster. We use it for faxing with Winfax Pro 10.02. If anyone else uses a courier with Winfax I'd be curious to know your initialization strings within Winfax. We have had nothing but problems with this modem. We can send fine, but just can't receive. I have used all the recommended settings from Symantec's site and also been on the phone with USR tech support going through all "their" recommended settings. USR said it should work right out of the box.

     

    Stuff I have tried:

    1.) New Install Of Winfax on 2 diff Comps (Win2k and Win2k3)

    2.) Tried another Cable

    3.) Tried multiple INIT settings

    4.) Had fax line tested

    5.) Tried various Courier drivers (Old ones seemed to work better)

     

    The one thing I wanted to try but didn't was using another fax program. Where we just got the darn thing, I called and got an RA and had them send out another modem. I just wanted to know what others are using for init settings.

    Ty for the reply... Our business is small with only 12 PC's. We are however upgrading our win2k Pro desktop to an actual server finally. The server specs FAR surpass the older comp, so hopefully we will see a small diff.

     

    Going from a PII 400mhz with 128megs of pc133 to a P4 2.8ghz with 512megs of DDR. Plus the hard drive is a little faster. We are going from a 5500rpm to a 7200 enhanced ata100. It's not scsi but it's an improvement.

     

    Alec, the program we use is designed by Carecentric. It is sort of like a dos emulation program. We are also using Pervasive SQL v8 on all our clients. All the settings for Pervasive are default so I am looking around for ways to improve performance via that route as well.

     

    As far as source code..I wish =) The program is pretty big, over 200 megs for the many .exe's, tac on a bunch more for all the db related files.

     

    Well our new server should be here today or tomorrow. Pretty excited about the whole deal! I'll probably have a few questions regarding Win2k3 at some point, but for now, thanks for the info you have given me so far. (Although some went right over my head hehe)

    We are now in a need to upgrade our version of windows from WIn2k Pro to Win2k3 Server for our small business. I know that this is going to open up a whole new world for us.

    My main question is this. We use a database program called DME v6.5 for managing our oxygen clients records, equipment etc. Currently our client workstations access the program through a simple mapped drive. The program resides only on the server, no part of it is installed on the clients.

    After we implement Win2k3 Server, will there be a way to make the program run a little faster over our network? Someone said that Active Directory could be implemented and that it might benefit us. I am new to active directory, so I don't really know what it does. Can someone please explain what AD is and what the benefits are from it?

    We have a total of 10 workstations networked to our Win2k Pro Workstation (Acting as server) We had the user limit message pop up this morning, but we only have 10 computers total NOT including the "server" workstation. Does the server count as a connection?

    We have a small fax server here at our business, and currently use a US Robotics v.92 modem. Is this the best quality modem we can use? We have had a couple people say they can't fax to us. The problem might just be on there end, but who knows. I was told by a couple techs that USR modems are one of the best for dialup, but for fax use, they have some weaknesses. I guess I would like to know what others use, and how their experience with it is.

     

    We use Winfax 10.02 Pro for our fax software.

     

    Thanks all!

    Did anyone ever find a link for IE6 that was a full setup? I did a search and saw the download method using switches. Thats great, but my time today is limited. If anyone knows of a link for a full download or has an ISO for the cd, I'd really appreciate it.

    I have a friend whos powersupply went in her system. We found her a new case with a P4 powersupply, and made the transition. After getting everything in the new case, we tried it out. As soon as we plugged in the powercord, a buzzing started. If I unplugged power to a drive it would change tone, I got it to stop after unplugging the floppy drive. I tested another MB just to see if her old one was damaged, but the buzzing won't go away. Can a drive cause something like that, or did she get a dud PSU in her new case?

    My manager wants to set up a wireless network in his home. It will consist of 1 desktop computer (Printer And Internet Access) and 2 laptops. He lives in a no broadband area -( so he wants shared dialup. The desktop right now is Windows 98 which we might be upgrading to Win2k. The two laptops are Win XP Home.

     

    What will he need to purchase to get started?

     

    I assume:

     

    2 Wireless PCMIA nic cards

     

    1 Wireless PCI/USB nic card

     

    1 Wireless Access Point

     

    Is this it? Does the access point work as a switch or is a switch also needed. Remember this will be sharing dialup.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Never done wireless.

    Will be using on a Win2k box.
