Hi all The problem started when a collegue of mine said that as soon as he started copying or saving files over the network the machine would just 'reset' I enabled extra logging so that it would blue screen but it doesn't, neither does it log anything to the mindump or event viwer. Next...

Hi all, I'm trying to get a piece of software to comunicate with another that's on the internet. The software uses udp port 9103. I have opened(?) this port in the proxy by setting the protocol tag to udp and outbound with 9103 as the port and associated the right permission but it...

Thanks Zoeythecat, It looks like your suggestion probably fixed it (I deleted some licences and machines taht were no longer needed). Thanks

I have just changed the password on the BDC for one of the users who can't access it and it the PDC has obviously replicated it bacause the user is allowed on to the domain. However they still can't acces the BDC? Any more ideas?

Hi all, I have recently had to build a new server which has nt4 server installed. Everything seemed to be working ok until a few days ago. I have noticed two things that didn't happen before on the older machine. 1) When I try to unlock the machine using ctrl alt delete, it says please...

Thanks for the help, I'll have a look around. I wonder if the old software that kept modems from dropping connection would work as it seems a similar principle.

Hi all, The problem I am having is that if I am downloading off ftp or peer to peer and I leave it to it, After a while (maybe an hour or a bit longer) when I come back the connection is still there but the bps has gone down to very poor modem rates. However as soon as I start using the...

Hi Nick, Yes I checked the security log and it looked no different to usual. The current setting for deletion is every 7 days.I wanted to give myself some information if needed. However this is filling in one day but wasn't prior to yesterday? Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi all, I have had my current server (PDC) now for 3 years and yesterday it reported that the security log was full. I backed up and deleted the log (It is the one in event viewer isn't it?) and carried on my work as normal. At the end of the day it reported the same error again. I...

I've just had an email back from adaptec and I cannot boot with scsi if ide is present. So I have installed nt again. Thank you all for your help.

Hi ski, As I mentioned previously, technically there isn't 'a' boot drive there's 4 (because it raid) I can move one of them to id 0 but the boot data is split over the drives so I don't know if this will help. If I do move one,this does it affect the raid at all as I have 50 gig of data that...

Nothing is set to id 0, however i can only set one of the drives to id 0 and there are 4 of them technically i suppose they're all the boot drive as it's raid 5. Unless you mean the id of the card itself which defaults to 7 but can be changed.

It's not branded as it was built by myself a few years ago. The motherboard is an Abit (probably lx series) and has a slot 1 pII 300 in it. 1 agp 4 pci 2 isa On a seperate note, a collegue of mine has said that ide will always boot first, if that is the case i will have no chioice but to...

The ide drives are brand new and the neither card is set active and the ide card is not set to boot but the system prompts "Disk Boot Failure, insert system disk and press enter" If I remove the highpoint card altogether however the system boots as normal. P.S I have contacted...

In theory it should have worked but didn't. It's Probably because the system will treat the ide raid card as scsi. I would put the drives straight on to the motherboard but because it's old now (PII 300 on a abit slot one) it won't recognise the size of the drives in bios. There must be a way...
