Thats just what I'm looking for!! Thanks Guitarzan!! Thanks also to Chipk for your input, most appreciated!

Thanks for your reply Chipk, I did'nt explain very well, but its the Computer Description that you would see when browsing the network that I'm looking for (set in My Computer Properties -> Computer Name). Sorry, I did'nt make that clear in my original post. Any ideas?

Does anyone know the values required to pull out the 'computer description' in XP using a WMI script? If there are any free tools anyone can recommend to help interigate the WMI database that would also be helpful. Cheers Darren

Thanks Dave, My initial worry was that I could'nt uplink these Aironets to a switch/hub. I have ordered 5 of these babies! Darren

Thanks Frank, The documentation on the cisco site is'nt very clear that you can just patch/uplink the aironet striaght into a switch or hub using a regular RJ-45 connection. Our security will be handled via a corporate RADIUS Server. - Darren

Hello, I am thinking of adding a wireless access point to our existing ethernet network. Currently the LAN has no wireless access points, and is cabled using CAT5.I want to purchase and add a Cisco Aironet (either 1100 or 1200). Can this easily be added/uplinked to the rest of the LAN (i.e...

I already done that earlier today, after increasing the number of licenses to 2500, when the 1500 limit was breached. This of course does not help me to discover what is causing the problem. I am getting an Event 201 being generated. The product out of licenses is SMB Server 4.0 (???). Any...

Hi, I have a problem. Over the past few days (coincidence or not that I recently applied security patch MS05-10) I have had to continually add licenses as I am getting messages in my event viewer stating that I have run out. When this happens our users cannot connect to network resources. I...

I only have experience of Netgear vpn routers but the principals will be the same. Make sure you've enabled Netbios to be transmitted accross the the VPN. Also I find that by adding a static route to the server from the 'main office' router helps. Check you can access shares by their ip address...

Thanks Dearingkr for your response. I was always quite sceptical about placing a small buisness server 'live' on the internet, using only ISA server as a firewall. However, I guess plenty of businesses do it, and surely all Microsoft Software can't be flawed....

Thats what I ended up doing. Cheers for replying!

Why is it so difficult to get a Graphics card with two VGA (15pin Dsub) outputs??? All cards nowadays only have 1 vga and 1 DVI ports. I need to get two monitors showing the same picture. Both are VGA, how can I do this, if the graphics card I need is not available to buy?? If anyone knows...

Hi all. Don't know if this post should be in another forum, aplologies in advance if this is the case. I have a Netgear FVS318 and Small business Server2003 running ISA Server (Internet Security and Acceleration Server). In order to get all the 'goodies' in SBS2003, I think I am going to have...

I managed to get it to work. It was embarrassingly easy. here is the code in case it helps other novices like me! :o] The string i needed to send (to pop a cash drawer open using an Epson TM-T88iii receipt printer) was (in decimal): 27,112,48,50,250 Dim myHex As String myHex = Hex(27) &...

Hi This is probably a really dumb question. Does anyone know how to send a Hex string to a printer (LPT1) in visual basic? I have the hex string saved as a file (created using a hex editor). I intend to use it to send a control command to the printer to open a cash drawer connected to it. If I...
