When you connect to a service via TCP/IP, you always connect by IP address. You may first have to first resolve a DNS name into an IP address, but...
I'd recommend fibre too. It gets over all the safety issues (earth leakage between buildings, lighting strike issues, etc.), and distance...
Before hacking into the registry, try working through this helper on Simple File sharing. Also have a look at the Microsoft guide:...
Does the Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit know about the Active Directory? Are you setting up the NAS to use the Active Directory users, or...
Your going to find it hard getting answers to an OS/2 issue. You must be one of the few users still using that OS. However, my guess is that this...
It could be dll problems. I would expect a dll problem to only effect the PCs with the corrupt dll. That is unless the dll issue was server side....
RAID 1 is fast for read (if you have a decent RAID system). As all the data is mirrored on two disks, the system can pull one lot of data from one...
Mirroring and shadowing are quite different processes. Shadowing is a file based system that monitors files and saves changes/differences....
One thing to try that fixes a surprising number of permission/log on problems, is to specify the domain in the user name. So instead of logging on...
OK. That makes sense. I think you'll will find it hard to find a router that will act as an end point to a PPTP pipe. They tend to be set up for...
I'm going to have to take a closer look! Too many network apps, not enough time.
Good point. VNC is good if you want to show a user how to do something. One problem I have managing a 2003 server via remote desktop (basically...
Excellent advice. If you want to understand why this is such good advice, I'd recommend you have a look at Que's Practical Network Cabling book.
I haven't. I use TightVNC as my current VNC implementation. However, I've just looked at the ultravnc website. It looks interesting,...
I'm a little unclear as to what you want. Where is the network clock device; at the remote office or on your main network? Are you trying to make...
I definitely recommend using a domain.local address internally. Does your PIX have a DMZ port? If so, that's where you need to put your...
NetOP is splendid, and my prefered remote desktop solution. However, XP's in-build desktop sharing utility works well too. And as it's part of the...
First thing to try is to use tracert to see how close you can get. So if you want to trace the route to www.google.com, you'd type this at a...
The problem is that the speed is usually auto-negotiated. So that fact you connect a box into the port on the wall and that runs at 100Mb/s,...
Ha ha ha. Some one has written a database that crashes on 10Mb/s networks, and is blaming the network for the problem. Splendid. There are a...
Separate names with a comma.
