    newbie - installing windows 2000

    Doesn't matter really. If you're going to allocate all the partition to data immediately then it's just as easy to make another primary partition.

    is there a default IP Address 10.0.255.255

    I would guess that your subnet is 10.0.x.x and subnet 255.255.0.0. If that's the case, 10.0.255.255 would be a local broadcast across the subnet. Could be an application or any 1 of 100 things (or a combination of all of them) really. As you've identified that it's coming from various machines...

    newbie - installing windows 2000

    Never, ever, ever put Exchange or SQL on the system partition. But yes, a minimum of 4gb is recommended really. You can specify the size in the setup process.

    Removing 1 drive from an array

    To the best of my knowledge imaging off, reconfiguring the array and re-imaging back will work no matter what OS or what dynamic/static disk organisation under that OS. I've never knowingly tried it with disks set up as dynamic before doing the process, so I can't say for absolute certain, but...

    Networking Windows 2000 and 98

    Aye that was why I mentioned installing NetBEUI to eliminate the TCP side, although it's still unlikely that a non-existant firewall program would prevent access, but technically yes it's possible. I'm curious though. Are these the same two machines you mentioned in thread616-518711?

    Removing 1 drive from an array

    You could do it that way, but it would take a fairly extensive amount of installation/registry work. It's certainly not as simple as it sounds (for instance, the OS will, as MrT points out, try to start the driver for the array on boot up and will blue screen when it can't). What you COULD do...

    Networking Windows 2000 and 98

    Zonealarm shouldn't work if it isn't started, and if the files aren't there then it won't start. If you wanted to be 100% sure, just load it on again and leave it wide open so that you know it's clear. This sounds like a cable problem at the moment - have you got another one you can try...

    Where' s the Temporary Internet Files Stored at?

    Alternatively, as the folder can be specified anywhere with custom settings, you could right-click on the Internet Explorer icon (or click on Internet in Control Panel) and click Properties, click Settings in the Temporary Internet Files section, then click View Files. This will show you the...

    Unable to Open a Link in New Window in Int. Explorer

    What app? IE works just dandy with the download on that link. I always found VM to be a buggy second-best. :/ Nice to see Microsoft being so helpful though...

    Task Scheduler Error

    Yep Montreal's suggestion was my next move. It does almost alsways boil down to cryptography if the PS service is ok. Worth exporting the key to a safe place before you do it though, just in case it throws up something unexpected.

    Unable to Open a Link in New Window in Int. Explorer

    Aha. Thought it sounded a bit too simple to be true... Although I know plenty of people who'd be glad of a way to stop pop-ups without installing 3rd party software..! Have you tried installing the latest version of Java to see if that will sort out the muddle...

    compaq (sony) SDT-9000 dat dds3 12/24gb tape drive

    Does the tape drive show in the POST? If it does, then it's a driver issue, if it doesn't then it's either an ID or a cable issue. Let us know which, and one of us can talk you in from there.

    Removing 1 drive from an array

    Yeah QC's hit the nail on the head there. That way works like a peach - done it many times on 3k controllers and 5i ones.

    Chicken & the egg: Compaq BDC & Onboard NIC...

    You need to be careful with some of the later boxes on the Intel NIC side - you're right, they do detect as Intel, but they'll also BSoD if you try to go through the Start Network phase of setup with them installed as such. I tend to just push them in as MS Loopback or quickly drop in a 905TX...

    ntfs - windows 2000 & windows NT - what's the difference

    NT will use NTFS4 and 2k NTFS5 as Aslam says. NT4sp4/5/6 updates the ntfs.sys file to allow NT to read NTFS5, but it doesn't give it the full functionality. The only real mainstream differences are encryption, mount point and disk quota management. As far as your long filename goes, it doesn't...
