I have purchased a new Compaq Evo N1020v laptop with XP Pro pre-installed and require to set this up for access to my companies Token Ring Network. To do this I use IBM Token Ring PC Cards, but for some reason I cannot get the Card to work under the above combination. The cards work fine in...

This is where I thought the problems would come in as some data will need to be written to by both sides.

This seems like the best group for this query I have... I have currently on an NT 4 server a shared drive that is mapped to every user who logs on to the domain. The domain is across 2 buildings through a fibre link. I want to avoid instances where because there is a connection issue the...

Setting the pc to a dynamic IP address results in the 'Unable to resolve IP address...' error on startup of windows. So there is still something preventing the pc from accessing the server. I re-installed another machine with 95 and have the same problem, but in Network Neighbourhood I can see...

I'll give it a go over the weekend and see what happens.

The remote site has static ip and the main site has dynamic.

The default gateway is set up as the router for that site. There are a number of win 2000 pc's that are set up with the same gateway and they connect fine but I cannot get a pc (no matter the OS) to join the domain across the WAN. I have to configure the pc 1st at the main site then change the...

Receiving the 'No Domain server available to validate logon' message. Win 95 PC based across a WAN link on a subnet of 10.44.0.xxx NT4 Server PDC is in main location on a subnet of 128.44.6.xxx. Network is purely TCP/IP, but we have Token Ring in The Main Location and Ethernet in the site with...

I have installed a group of New IBM pc's with Windows 2000, but one of them insists on turning off the Num-lock when the 'Windows 2000 is loading' screen appears. It always powers on with the Num-lock on. The others do not have this problem and the Num-lock state is set to 'on' in the bios of...

There is no problem pinging the machines between each other and this is the only pc that gives out this error. Looks like I will be giving the user a printer of their own anyway now, but thanks for your time and advice.

I am trying to add an HP DJ 710c printer which is shared on Windows 2000 over the pc's parallel port. The pc I want to share to is a win95 machine, but when trying to add over the network selecting the windows 2000 machine genrate a message saying 'Error 2445' this is all that is contained in...

Pulled the modem out and that made no difference, so I've left it out anyway as its not needed. Put all of the power management options off and Windows failed to load. So I sat and played with all the options and eventually the power button started to play correctly and would switch off the pc...

I have a PC with K7T266 Pro2 (MS-6380 v2.X) Motherboard, running an Athlon XP 1900 with 630MB Ram, 300w PSU with Windows 2000. At the moment when you choose to shutdown the PC, it automatically reboots after the shutdown completes as though it was a restart instead. Even pressing the power...

I have 2 spreadsheets of several thousand rows. In one sheet I have a product code column (sorted ascending) and a unit price column. In the other sheet there is a product code column (not sorted). I need to search the product code in the 1st sheet for a match with the 2nd sheet and get the...

After installing an NFS client on a Win NT 4 machine, the small arrow that appears on icons to represent shortcuts and the hand that appears on icons to represent a shared file/folder have been replaced. Shortcuts appear with the desird icon but they now have a the floppy disk icon over them...
