There appears to be a two-fold problem here. I assume first that all machines are on the same subnet / local lan segment. It seems that first, the Win95 client machines may be winning browser elections, thus causing incomplete browser information. To disable this, do the following on the...

You could also use WSH from the Resource Kit. Windows Script Host give you much more functionality than simply a batch or cmd file can. It uses VBScript of JavaScript natively, but will also work with shell scripting such as Perl.

Try using a password crack like Lophtcrack.

Well, to address DougP's point, did you physically replace the modem and the nic? or just update the drivers? If it were a HARDWARE problem, updating SOFTWARE would not fix it.... I mean... how can software fix a hardware problem? Only replacing or repairing hardware can fix a hardware...

Sounds like you found the problem with the RAS service. I would suggest the same thing as 2ffat, update the NIC and modem drivers.<br> <br> And to reply to DougP's comment, beware of the term &quot;always&quot; and &quot;never&quot;. Blue screens are NOT always hardware. That is false...

Are the address ranges of the computers across the WAN you are trying to connect to added to the LAT of the Proxy Server? This is probably why you cannot ping the machines or telnet to them. As far as browsing, I would change the proxy server so that it does not maintain the browse list. In...

Most likely what has happened was a 16 bit application that was being run on the machine crashed/stopped responding. The W that you saw was most likely from WOWexec. This is a 32 bit application that is used to control 16 bit applications running on a 32 bit architecture (wow - windows on...

Try Veritas Backup Exec with the Disaster Recovery Option.

On the workstation (router) Internal NIC uses no default gateway. External NIC proper IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the Internet. <br> <br> All Client machines that will use the Workstation (router) should have the Internal IP address of the Workstation (router) NIC as their...

Microsoft Proxy Server needs to be running Windows NT Server 4.0 and at least Service Pack 3. You may be able to use the workstation to connect to the Internet without using Proxy server, but you are then using your workstation as a router. You are exposing your network to the internet. You...

What do you mean it won't read the drive? If it detects the device, try to run a Catalog on the tape drive. This should cause it scan the tape looking for a catalog in preparation for a restore. If the tape was created with NTBACKUP, it should run the catalog on the tape. If it says that the...

Try using Partition Magic to resize the C drive. Also, to free up some drive space you can move your paging file to the d drive, and check the directory c:\winnt for a memory dump file, and delete it if it exists. If the server has ever blue screened on you and created a dump file, it is...

It sounds like someone was messing with the policies though. If the policy for Default User was modified to disable the File Menu from explorer, it disables it for everyone, including the administrator. I would run poledit and check default user settings.

Ok,<br> from what I am seeing, you CAN map to the Web server from a machine on it's own segment. You cannot map to a share from another segment.<br> <br> Let's start with the basics... can you ping the machine by IP address from a machine on network 1 ?<br> Can you ping the machine by Netbios...

Just a question.. Typically how long is the machine on line before it blue screens? If the machine has been running for a while, I doubt it is a hardware related issue. Almost all blue screens (except on initial boot) are software related... i.e. memory leaks within applications.<br> If the...
