Can you tell us what connection you are using: router, modem, connection sharing? If hardware make and model would be useful.
I like it. The best thing is that you get some history with it. For example, you can see which PCs users have used and when. It also has quite a...
I find a small shareware app called Didyma is simple and good to monitor devices on a small network. I've also used the free version of...
I don't know what to suggest next. I wish I lived in Texas, as I'd pop round and have a look.
I think standard version will be fine. Have a look at this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/ts2003.mspx I...
Microsoft are trying to drop NetBIOS in favour of DNS (NetBIOS is great on small networks - less the 200 seats - but doesn't scale well and...
That sounds like NetBIOS isn't working. Perhaps its not enabled by default with Vista.
I've been testing some free network monitoring software from Spiceworks: http://www.spiceworks.com/ It installs on a PC and then takes an...
Many firewall systems will not give you full functionality via an external IP address when you are inside the network, so you not getting full...
It looks like you need to join the PC to the domain. You will then be able to log in to a domain account. Identify or create an account for the...
I presume you are using an 192.168.0.0 address space. This is exactly why the 10.0.0.0 address space is so much better. It has thousands of...
Most personal firewalls will let you "trust" a range of addresses. As you are using a private address range (192.168.1.0/24), you can safely...
Oh! worth pointing out: In peer to peer, you need a user account set up on every PC you want to access. So you will need an sjones account on...
Workgroups are still manageable then. If you had twenty PCs the move to domain would make much more sense. How are the IP addresses set up...
OK - let's go down another router. One of the biggest problem I see with delays opening thing are links in the same area that are either...
How big is your network Steve?
It's very difficult to say what is wrong with your PC without sitting at it. It could be something small that we have all over-looked, but the...
If you've got 2003 server, why are you using workgroups? AD and domain provide much more reliable networking than peer to peer workgroups. It's...
I wish they'd fix the bugs in the old systems rather than working so hard to introduce new ones. Networking should be simple!!!! What do you...
The symptoms are classic for faulty hardware, but you've tried all the obvious hardware swap outs. However, there is one you might not have tried...
Separate names with a comma.
