I have an old Linksys BEFSR11 2 port [one in and one out] Router. When I install this router between the Computer and the Internet Modem the Internet will not work. ** I have the Internet Modem side plugged into the WAN jack and the Computer into the LAN jack ** There are 6 lights top to...

According to my IP I have a Trojan or something in a NT 4.0 SP6 workstation that is busy sending out SPAM. I have tried to download several pieces of freeware and they will not run on this PC. Norton 2005 will have no effect on this OS apparently. I have about a 4 hour 'window' during which I...

FYI - I finally gave the box to a techie I've known for 6 years and she googlesearched an article relating to NT 4.0 incorrect partition problems and ended up downloading a file from Service Pack 4 which allowed NT to properly recognize the partition and therefore finally load. Thanks again for...

Thank you so much rdroske for your input on this. Apart from this issue it is a good box so I think I'll put a 2 GB harddrive [it is new] into it for NT and use the existingn HD for the other stuff if I can. My other option apart from buying something is to use 3-4 year old boxes with 4 GB HDs...

I did as you suggested using E: as the CDrom driveletter and everything worked fine - Backoffice loaded to WINNT and then asked me to enter to reboot which I did ... and ended up at the same blue screen with 'MS Windows NT Ver 4.0 SP3 System Processor 255 MB Memory' at the top and the gibberish...

Thank you so much for all this info - just a couple of questions before I get started on all this while you are still around .. [1] I currently have 2 unused Static IP - do I use one for the router - I have never configured a router before [someone else did this when hooked up]. The server...

Thank you Wolluf [1] The DHCP service was not enabled on the Server. We have 4 static IP addresses assigned to us by our IP - 2 of which we are currently using. When the other PCs logged onto the Network they were assigned an IP automatically. All PCs are connected to a 3Com Superstack...

Thank you Andyho Just before I start this I tried browsing from Network neighbourhood and access was denied - unable to browse the network [I suspect because since the server went down we do not 'log on' anymore]. We never did have the 2 screen Windows Logon enabled. If I need this how do I...

Thanks Bluejacket I read the site and found that, as I have Win 98 on all the PCs, it looks like I need some software like Windows for Workgroups, which I think I still have. A question, if I rightclick on the c: drive in my Computer can I just share each PC and give permissions to anyone to...

Our NTserver crashed and while it is down I need one application to continue to run on some kind of a Network. All the PCs are Win 98 and are all connected to a switch. Can I load this Software on the another Computer, plug it into the Switch and have the other PCs be able to see it and access...

It is 8 hours later and I just realized that the PC I am trying to loan onto has a sound card built into the motherboard - I'll bet that is the problem. I'll try a format and load onto another older Seanix without the sound capability. This PC only has a 4 GB harddrive but after Backoffice I...

Thanks again - I have just completed deleting, creating and formatting a new Primary Dos active system partition 2047 MB on the C: drive with the Win 98 floppy. Loaded setup from the 3 NT floppies then the CD #1 and it hung up exactly the same as before - on the blue Win NT Server Setup screen...

Thank you rdroske I will start over and prepare the drive with the 98 floppy then go to the NT floppies. Whichever way it goes, I will advise in another post to this thread.

Thank you rdroske amd wolluf. I used a 98 boot floppy to scan and chkdsk and everything fine. It also told me that a 2 Gb Fat 16 partition HAD been created [NT Setup told me after 5 hours it was unsuccessful]. I have removed the CD burner, removed the SCSI card [to the DAT drive] and even...

Since starting this thread I notice i did not advise that the PC I am trying to load NT onto was running Win 98 as an OS. Also, a few other things: ** Upon bootup with the floppies it does not appear to recognize the SCSI card I have installed to the DAT Tape Drive - perhaps this comes...
