 | I would be happy to assist with this issue but you need to be more specific and clear about your setup. Exactly what is the network topology and desired functionality: devices, services and ip info? What kind of VPN server? What networking devices are you using, what are you [i]trying … |

| | It'd be nice to know what it's barfing about in the blue screen as that will sometimes tell you what you need to do to fix it...I guess usually I'd start by replacing the system file if possible: [list=1] [*]Start your computer with the Windows Setup floppy disks or with …  |

[QUOTE][b]how do i auto-shut down windows XP?[/b][/QUOTE]In the [b]Control Panel[/b] go to [b]Scheduled Tasks[/b] launch the wizard and where it gives you the option to browse go to [b]C:\windows\system32[/b] for the name of the file you can use the [b]shutdown[/b] … |

| | This is exactly why I'll never buy another Asus board...seen this happen too many times and for no reason with their boards. Had one of these Asus boards do this to me one time, no reason it just stopped booting, I tried all kinds of stuff...ended up going in the … |

| | Is there some reason you can't just use RDP? I haven't messed with the VMWare much. I'd have to say something with the mouse emulation...seems VMware would know about that if that were the case when you called them. Good luck. |
| | Did you recently install anything such as a firewall or a VPN client...maybe a Windows update? Can you get into safe mode? Also, do you have the Nortel VPN client installed or any other VPN client? It would be helpful to know the model of your laptop, if this is …  |

| | [QUOTE=bops]is there any way you can open and close ports without having any special software and firewalls etc ?[/QUOTE] To be as general as the question posed, the answer is yes. Starting a built-in service such as Terminal Services on Windows XP that advertises a port will open the port … |

| | Before you do anything else tell your landlord to change the channel from the default (usually 6 on linksys) to 3 or 9...sounds like both of you are getting interference in the signal...probably another access point operating on the same channel. Another thing I've noticed with the linksys routers is … |
 | I too recommend Firefox - was quicker than trying to sort out whatever it was with Safari, though now I am curious about it too as I have had it happen to me as well. I mess with Apples when other people have problems with them, there is one in … |
| | Disable pop-up blocker...obviously seems like spyware is a common issue in here so that could be it. There's a particular one that shows up as something like "Web Tools for IE" or "search bar" that totally jacks JS - you'll forgive me but I don't remember right off hand. Another … |
| | You can use [url="http://www.partimage.org/"]this[/url] [b]free[/b] utility in conjunction with [url="http://www.sysresccd.org/"]this[/url] Linux rescue CD to take images and restore them as you wish. The utility currently only has experimental NTFS support, but so far it works fine w/XP for me...the author of the software says it will generally work for NTFS … |
| | He didn't say that he was trying to boot from floppy, sounded like he wants to boot a hard drive that already has XP installed. Check the boot order in the BIOS...if it's an Award BIOS you probably need to press [b]DEL[/b] to get into setup and then make sure … |
| | When you installed the cards they should show up as a "Local Area Connection" in Network Connections in the Control Panel. Right click the "Local Area Connection" of the card you've installed and go to "Properties". From there you should be on the "General" tab...there it should show the card … |
 | What's all this "cd"...if you are at the a: prompt and you want to go to the c drive just type [B]c:[/B] and then enter. Maybe I'm missing something here. Either way - you'll enjoy the live file system...pretty cool stuff. |
 | [QUOTE=rmbeckman;513879] Will I be able to use basically the same settings I have on my current router with the exception of the Wireless config of the router? [/QUOTE] On the ISP side of things it should be similar. I would use WAP for your wireless. The hacker kid tells me … |
| | Try resetting tcp/ip and see if that makes a difference: Click [B]Start[/B] then [B]Run[/B] type in [B]cmd[/B] click OK. In the black window type this followed by the "Enter" key: [B]netsh int ip reset c:\reset.txt[/B] I would also type [B]netstat[/B] after that...if you see crazy numbers showing up here there … |
| | It's been a while since I have worked with Ghost, when I did it was an older corporate version, but if I am reading this accurately I think you have the idea. As long as you can access those ghost images in the old "d" you should be able to … |
| | I saw the same thing with an update that didn't get a reboot cleanly after a larger update. Others are having the same kinds of issues. Older hardware running pre-existing programs probably have a conflict with something in the upgrade or cause the upgrade to corrupt the system on restart. … |
| | If it works in Firefox using IP then what is different in IE? Seems like a security setting could disable scripting across domains and consider "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" a "domain"? If your objects reference by DNS...different domain. Either way...defining the IP as a "local intranet site" and checking browser scripting permissions might … |
| | [QUOTE=DimaYasny;514093]the forum is here for other to see and learn from the troubleshooting done publicly. Apache, PHP and MySQL are very easy to install under windows. about the domain issue: setting up a domain in w2k3 is a breeze - just type dcpromo in the command line and the wizard … |
| | Sounds like DNS is working, either way you should be testing by IP first to rule out any DNS. But it sounds like there is something going on with a firewall here. When you join a domain it resets your firewall profile...have you checked that again to be safe? Make … |
| | I would bring this one up with toshiba. I believe this is going to have a EFI partition...maybe that's where the problem is. Not sure if [B]fixboot[/B] would be worth trying. Toshiba is known for releasing a lot of patches...might want to check for that stuff first as well if … |
| | First things first...make sure all the web services are up using the IIS admin management console. A quick and dirty test which should work no matter what if the services are running would be to go to the server itself, open a browser and try these sites: http://<static ip> [url]http://192.168.1.11[/url] …  |
| | I usually go for: [B]Ctrl[/B]+[B]Shift[/B]+[B]Del[/B] |
| | You should be able to do this since, as you said, your pc supports USB boot. I'm not sure if you'll have to install some sort of driver for the setup program to be able to see the drive, though. I doubt it. Let me know what you find. Assuming … |
| | I only know how to do this from the registry. If you want to change the path of the service do the following: 1. Click [B]Start[/B] then [B]Run[/B] in the run prompt and type [B]regedit[/B] and click [B]ok[/B] 2. This is the Windows registry. I just happen to exactly where … |
| | I'm with [B]hughv[/B] - reboots often are related to power stuff. Seems odd that it would just kick in out of nowhere. Maybe he should pull the CMOS battery see if that resets whatever kicked off when the other HD was installed. I would check cables and memory chips...a bad … |
| | Kinda sounds like it's getting stuck in a loop. Memory leak sounds promising but how to fix? Usually either something else is occupying a memory space or memory is spooling up somewhere that it cannot occupy...maybe a bad sector of the hard drive? I have seen it! I would do … |
| | So you see nothing on the screen for 8 minutes and then it comes on? Or is it just taking a long time for Windows to boot up? What kind of monitor are you using? Have you restarted the computer recently? Please provide any other details as I have never … |
| | I've used the old freezer trick many times and it works. For the record the command to use for a corrupt boot partition is not [b]fixmbr[/b], that fixes the [b]M[/b]aster [b]B[/b]oot [b]R[/b]ecord. For a corrupt boot partition it would be [b]fixboot[/b]: Writes a new partition boot sector to the system … |
