Hi Bill and welcome. Start->run->eventvwr.msc and check for events that might yield more information. If you find one/some, open an event,...

The example he linked is for a Unix GUI so wouldn't apply to your PC. Outlook allows what you want but I'm not aware of any way to do it in OE.
The hosts file is for matching ip addresses to PC names. It has been a part of IP networking since day 1 and you can find hosts files on UNIX...
Thanks. The only odd thing I see there is your DHCP server address. However, that should not be causing what you are experiencing. Lets try...
Have you tried sfc /scannow and chkdsk /f ?
If you have XP-pro, there is a better way. If you have XP-home, that better way is not available. Thus my original question about which...
Moving this topic from XP to Networking 1) I'm not exactly sure what the 'sfc' command does. I've looked it up and I've read that it replaces...
It certainly could be causing your problems. Recovery console again and run chkdsk /r to let chkdsk do a surface scan and mark any bad sections...
Keyer - config.sys is not used by XP nor is autoexec.bat. Changes to those files will have zero effect on how XP behaves. In certain...
Moving this to networking since that is the area of concern. Hi Griff and welcome to the forum. Do you connect directly to the broadband modem...

When i: "ping sjg1983" should it not list my ip address properly (10.0.0.3)? It calls me "::1 " Yes If something is unable to...
With static addresses, a quick 'fix' try that may well help and at worst will slightly speed up your other PCs connecting to each other is to use...
Good move. 5e, at least when I was dealing extensively with those drivers, was much more stable and less prone to wierdness than 6 and it sounds...
Agreed - mostly. But I still like pagefiledefrag with NT versions up through 2K (XP doesn't need it) because it deals with some registry hives...
Hi and welcome to the forum. What OS are you running?
Good. Got it and thanks. Are you using static/fixed/assigned IP addresses for all the PCs or using DHCP to assign them? And I'm up in about...
Yup. Sure can. Probably easier to right-click and pick Foxit as the default for .pdf files while you are trying it. Takes only a few seconds to...
Separate names with a comma.
