Clients are all Win2K. I'll try rebuilding the WINS database also. Thanks. Is that straightforward to do?

Thanks, I'll try that when I'm next at their site. I'll post back here if I have any problems. I'm assuming you mean this service should be started on the server.

Thanks, how do you change that?

Using small business server, I am able to use ISA and IIS on my network. For a small business is this sufficient security. Is there any need to buy an external hardware firewall?

I've recently installed Microsoft Small Business server 2000 for a client (basically win 2000 server with other servers such as exchange on top for those not familiar). It's been running fine for a week, then someone installed something on it and I got a call out because noone could connect to...

I've had exchange 2000 working for about a year, but now that I need to configure extra pop3 accounts for external mail, the changes won't be made (the dialog box just stays there and nothing happens). This was tried using both the internet wizard and pop3 connector snapin

I have a client with a small network (one server and four PCs) who wishes to connect to this network from one home location. They want ADSL at both locations and wish to use VPN to connect. For this purpose would hardware VPN/firewall be necessary or would it be best to use software instead?

Thanks

I work for an IT company who is about to start offering ADSL connections to clients and so need to get up to speed on it.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial for setting up both USB and router based adsl connections (ie exactly what has to be configured on each machine on the network to get it to work).

I use a USB modem which appears to connect normally to several different ISPs, yet once it's connected, no information can be sent (ie can't access webpages). Any ideas.

I've been using a 30GB 5400 rpm Maxtor drive for some time and am used to its near silent operation. I purchased a Maxtor 60GB 7200 rpm drive and it is considerably noisier than the older drive. Is this normal due to the higher speed or is there likely to be a fault with the drive. Thanks Edmund
