markp62, You're right I did miss that part. I suppose that's what I get for skimming rather than reading. Then again, if I actually read...
Everyone seems to be overloking the obvious - a probelm with the anti-virus. The PC works fine until this loads, therefore I suggest simply...
Aida32 - Exactly. Thanks merlin. You're :cool: ;) I found the link by searching for aida, but my original search over the past 3 months...
As a result of a long story, I have a PC that I don't have any drivers for. I looked on the maufacturer's website, but can't seem to find it. I...
I should have been clearer. Yes, the PCs on the local LAN can ping the NIC attached to the WAN. The PC on both networks can even copy info from...
Got it! Goddez1, Your last link, referring to spaces after the PC name, solved the probelm. There was indeed a space at the end of the...
Hi Newt, I had to read the post twice to realise it was a suggestion, not a question. :) We have done all that, and clients can ping the NIC...
This is the sort of thing that gets the big bucks! :-) We have a PC running NT SP6. This PC was the link betwen our office network and our...
Hi PM, First of all, don't be intimidated by the length of the reply! :-) Is this one, two, or three error messages? I'm guessing that...
Goddez1, Thanx for the addinitonal links - the first one looks like it might be useful. Don't worry about being network experience deprived -...
:mad: <mumble, mumble> escape key <mumble, mumble> I had this reply all typed out, but then I thin I hit the alt key, and things started going...
Geez - I had a similar computer with the same problem - I asumed it was hardware, since I used the Maufacturer's CD to re-install windows. (Note -...
Sorry for the delay in responding, but I was looking at the choices, and neither of them seemed to be relevant. broni - Your link deals with...
I just solved a similar problem on a PC out here, altho their probelms were more extreme, in that "My Computer" would not open, could only be...
This problem was originally posted under W2K server, but after further experimentation (read: many days of hair-pulling) I have determined that...
Hi Newt, This is a brand new network. The client bought the server with W2K server pre-installed, and then asked us to configure the PCs for...
I thought this "Active Directory" Thing for W2K server was supposed to be an improvement. Instead, it seems to be doing it's best to prevent...
If I use fdisk /mbr, how will this affect any data on the drive? I have not tried anything yet, as I want to know everything I can first. In the...
Well, I woke up to a lovely X-mas present this morning :-( My mom's PC says disk boot failure when trying to load windows, and when trying to run...
First thing that comes to mind is permissions, even though they shouldn't cause the probelms you are mentioning. On the XP machine, ensure the...
