The Tech guys hired an expert and here's what he did. First he ran IPCONFIG/flushdns and then IPCONFIG/registerdns. That "seemed" to work for one workstation but on another one, he went into the Advanced TCP/IP settings and checked: "Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration". The...

I didn't try pinging the server but I can see it when I got to "Entire Network" (and navigate to it). I'm home, the next time I see the message, I'll copy it. Basically, it says it's not available or you don't have permission to use it. I'll check on the rest of this at work also. Thanks, Charlie

Our school is on a domain. We have separate file servers for students and teachers. In many of our labs, [which run Windows XP Pro] some of the computers cannot access the student file server. It's not because the user doesn't have permission either. The same user CAN access it from a different...

We have a 2 page newsletter that we'd like to convert to a web page. When we run the convert to web page, it only exports the first page. How do you export ALL the pages? FYI: We create a printed page first and then also post the newsletter on the web. Otherwise, we'd just use FrontPage (or...

Just to clarify, everything was working as normal until yesterday. Of course, teachers and students have been able to log on before, now we're trying to figure out what happened. If something was changed (not by me), it was not the intended result. Does anyone have any specifics (details...

Beginning yesterday, our teachers and students could not log on to our domain. They got a message saying something like "The policy of this system does not allow you to log on interactively". What caused this and how do we fix this? Details would be appreciated. Thanks, Charlie

Sorry, I posted the original question in the Windows 2000 Desktop area by mistake. I have since posted it in the Windows 2000 Server area where it belongs. Is there a way for me to remove my post?

ccdriver (Instructor) Jan 28, 2003 On a Windows 2000 server, I've shared a folder with several folders within the main folder. [The network uses AD but the server in question, is just a file server.] A particular folder contains many .jpg photos. Beginning yesterday, when I try to access the...

On a Windows 2000 server, I've shared a folder with several folders within the main folder. [The network uses AD but the server in question, is just a file server.] A particular folder contains many .jpg photos. Beginning yesterday, when I try to access the "photo" folder from my XP...

If you're using PICAS in Pagemaker, then the measurement you referred to (23p5) means 23 Picas and 5 Points where 12 Points make up a PICA. Another way to say that would be 23 5/12 Picas. If you change to a decimal that would be 23.42 picas. [5 divided by 12 = .4166666] I've rounded UP. In my...

I'll pass on what I've found... I added my students to the "PowerUsers" local group (on the local machine). (This was actually so they could run PageMaker.) So far, I found that they can run PhotoShop, but their settings and preferences are not saved. Every time they log on and start...

Thanks for that information and advice.

Our school network is on an AD domain. We used to only have Windows 98 computers. We have added a couple of Windows 2000 and also some XP Pro workstations. We have a new order of XP Pro machines on the way. We will continue to have a mix of Windows 98 and XP machines until the 98 machines are...

It could be that your profiles include "My Documents" which results in the download and update of these documents every time you log on and off. If it's just one machine, you can move you "My Documents" to a different folder. What I did as a temporary fix is created a folder...

At our school, we are currently using roaming profiles with a mix of mostly Win98 and a few XP Pro machines + 1 Win2000 PC. (FYI: This is a Windows2000 domain with Active Directory.) My question only pertains to the Win2000 + XP machines. I had recently created a new group (on the server) and I...
