Sorry, the capability to "Bridge" adaptors was introduced with Windows XP. There is usually another way to set it up through.

You need to provide us more information about how your network is setup. By offices I presume you mean within the building not remote offices. What exactly do you mean by "can't see the server" can...

In this configuration, you have to connect all the hardwired PCs to the LAN ports on the router. You also must disable DHCP on the router. ICS provides DHCP services to all the PCs that are sharing...

Software firewalls installed on the PC are really for people who don't have hardware firewalls. I would never use one if I could avoid it. They are much more intrusive, ineffective at times and cause...

Actually, I have one. I was figuring sub interfaces on the inside, because he's trying to keep on the cheap. But you're right the hardware you suggest would work well if he can swing all the pieces.

Hehehe, Hi Alc. That's kind of what I meant by misconfigured. Since the setup used ICS, ICS needs to be the only dhcp server on the block. The router should be acting only as a switch/bridge....

The problem that you face is, you will not know for a fact if it will work or not until you actually buy the equipment, install it properly and see what happens. That's wireless. Since you are new to...

I think that would depend on whether or not THOSE applications had automated installation facility. Most applications have things that require user interaction during setup, acknowleding a license...

Thanks for the info.

The two subnet requirement takes you right out of the low end dsl type router bracket. I would suggest you try to get a deal on a used cisco 1500 or 1600 series. They are at least well documented and...

The 2 bluetooth adaptors will work in theory. Whether the distance and connection will be ok is dicey. Has much to do with site conditions.

For this to be true, you have something else misconfigured. In this type of setup, the router is not routing it's acting only as a wireless bridge so it's IP address is meaningless. The only...

I don't know of any way to do it and save the information that's on your computer. Are you trying to do that? If not then you can boot to a boot floppy and run format c: then just boot to the win98se...

He can't ask them because he is stealing their bandwidth. Kind of like asking the cops to help you find your pot, so he's trying to get you to do it. My comment was not about his problem, because he...

vgaoem.fon should be in two places on your hard drive
C:\winnt\fonts and C:\winnt\system32\dllcache\

you can start xp from the setup disk and choose repair options\repair console

do a dir...

You still would do it in Outlook. Auto replys always happen at the server.

And this folks, is why you need to learn to setup security and encryption on your wireless routers.

Also make sure you're not running any protocols on the 98 machines other than tcpIP,you will often find Netbuei lurking in there. And yes definetly, dump the Internet connection sharing and get a...

The ADMIN$ share is a standard windows share that is automatically created. Look in Control Panel/Computer Management/Shared Folders/Shared and see if it's there. If not, something has corrupted you...

You should not put two network interfaces from a PC on the same network. From your description, it sounds like you have both of them somehow connecting to the same router. Even if they have different...

Sorry, I missed your post. Ftp does use connected state and you can see the active connections in the ftp site properties box, but it won't show what the users are accessing. I really don't know if...

I suspect the problem is that the secure protocol that is being used when she tries to enter the site does not like the fact that the first machine is altering the packet. It has to do this in order...

If you go through the Add printer wizard and then point to network printer and browse to the printer you want, it should just go easily. The drivers have to be right if they are both using XP. The...

Hmmm. Maybe I'll install it on something just to see what it does....but frankly, I have enough trouble working in 2D space. ;)

No. The question actually has no meaning with any web server, because they don't maintain connections at all. Although you get the impression you are "connected" to a site, actaully you are only...

I would suggest that you try doing an extended ping with loaded packets to your ISP's default gateway and then to a known responder. You may have a connection problem despite what the techs said. Do...

I was not talking about XP's remote desktop feature. I was talking about 3rd party remote desktop software in a generic sense. Only about 1 packet in 7 in a VPN actually goes into data transfer and...

You can create a group for these users and adjust local security policy for this group on each machine. You may have to adjust the domain security policy also to allow it. You do this through the...

That is very interesting. I have never seen a case where a bad motherboard caused an external network adaptor to stop working unless there was some other kind of indication; Like not seeing the...

You can use remote desktop control software for this sort of thing. Then you don't have to mess with Windows networking.

Well, flashing the bios is always a dicey thing to do. I absolutely never recommend doing it unless you have to. Is the network adaptor in this board built in? Have you tried another adaptor?

Does it print a test page ok? How good is your link? If you have a good wireless link, then there is nothing about the setup that should cause you problems. Try printing something really small. If...

I find myself wondering why YOU have to be the one to go get it. But anyway, the only thing you can tell from the IP your describing is that they are both most certainly using the same ISP. If you're...

Are you using network connection sharing?

Well, I wish uninstalling things from MS was as simple as that. My experience has been that uninstalling service packs is a great way to insure that things will never work again. SP2 does work. I...

Try this fix from PCHell.com

If you are receiving this error, you should run the Microsoft patch (KB884020)...

Well, there is a huge difference between "limited" and "no connectivity". How are you determining this? Obviously you're not able to get to the Internet. Can you ping the machine that is sharing the...

See my response to Dark_Omen today.

It's pretty easy if they all three are XP. On each computer Right click on My Computer and select properties. Then identification. Make sure they all have different names and the same workgroup name....

I'm sorry for taking so long, I haven't been around much lately because I'm getting a new software release out. Ugh! You need to set up MS Networking on both computer then share the printer from the...
