We have clients that access the internet from different subnets so we have to manually enter the proxy settings. Looks like the registry hack seems the best way to implement the change. Do users need administrator privileges to run a registry 'change' file? If so, it would be easier to just...

Is it possible to schedule a reboot of a NT4 server? I need to reboot a server at a certain time every week but don't want to have to dial in to our network to do it. Regards,

That's great. Thank you. I've tried and tested it and it works fine. Regards,

Sorry, forgot to mention. My form is a standard HTML form which is submitted to an ASP script via the POST method. Does this make a difference? Regards,

I currently have a form which sends details to an e-mail address using CDONTS. I want to be able to record the IP address of the form's sender and send this with the rest of the information to an e-mail. Is this possible and how can I do this? Regards,

Clients get IP addresses from our DHCP server. How will this help me? Regards,

Is there a way of easily setting the proxy server settings in Internet Explorer 5.5 for certain users in our NT4 domain? I only want to customise certain users' machines but as a last resort, all machines could have this information set. We are running a combination of NT4 Workstation and...

Thanks. That small bit of knowledge will help a lot. Regards.

My Company restricts desktops using system policies so that nothing can be seen. i.e. there is no My Computer or Network Neighborhood, etc. All they can see is a customised Program Files list and the Run option. Is there an easy way of finding out a computer name on NT Workstation/W2K Pro by...

Type the Event ID into www.eventid.net for a more detailed description and a list of possible solutions. Regards,

Can you browse the network from the W2K machine? i.e. go to My Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network. Do you see other computers on your domain? Check the event log of the W2K machine and look for any errors or warnings. If there are some, go to www.eventid.net and do a...

Check out www.eventid.net and do a search with your event id. This is a great site for solving problems located in the event log. I've pasted below some of their responses anyway: 1. This event can occur if there is not enough free disk space on the system partition. Once the space problem was...

That's strange but consider the following... In my System event log, the only events I usually see are Print notifications and the occasional hardware, DHCP and WINS warnings. If none of your member servers are print servers or DHCP/WINS servers then you might not see anything at all during...

You cannot remove a domain controller from a domain and replace it with a new machine and expect this to work. Servers and Workstations work on a basis of linked unique security identifiers to maintain security. Anyway... Insert your dying server back into the domain so you are back where you...
