Hello itsp1965 and ShackDaddy, Thank you both for your replies. That is exactly what the problem was. As soon as I made the gateway .66 and assigned addresses up from there everything worked perfectly. Boy is my face red. I really appreciate both of your help! Members on this forum have...

Hi Everyone, I'm not 100% sure what the appropriate forum to post this in would be, as it involves two different operating systems, how It's the Windows side that is causing my grief, so I opted to post here first. I have a mail server and a web/FTP/OpenFire server (both Windows 2003 r2) that...

Hello everyone, We recently upgraded 90 computers to Outlook 2007. Each computer has an IMAP email account and I'd like to be able to have their emails disapear when they press DEL instead of just having them show the subject with a strike thru. I have already set (through GPO) them to purge...

Hi all, Thanks for reading. I'm trying to create a failover solution that would allow users to keep accessing network file shares in the even of one server going down. Here's a brief outline of our network: Two buildings, linked by fiber (two pair being used, I have access to 6 pair if...

I just got home from the industrial buildings where the network is located. It turns out that mice decided to chew on the cables, and some were down to the bare copper, some strands even being severed (or nearly severed but still rubbing) completely! As well as this, one of the wireless AP's...

Hello, I have an interesting problem that I hope someone can shed some light on. I have several computers setup in two separate networks that are bridged by a wireless connection so the two networks can see each other and share files, etc... Recently, computers on each side of the divide have...

Ok, here's a little update. I figured out what was causing the 2000pro workstation to slow down, it was MS hotfix KB885835 Once I removed that hotfix from each 2Kpro workstation, it became significantly faster. It does not seem to effect the XP workstation however, so I'm still playing with...

Hi Guys, Thanks again for all your help. The workstations are not running any annoy-ware (weather checkers, P2P file sharing, etc...). When I ran the profiler I had a fast machine login and connect, then I had a slow machine do the exact same (same user name login and everything). It showed...

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for the tips. I scanned each workstation for viruses / spyware, no viruses, and I removed the standard collection of spyware junk from those that had it. Nothing found on the server, it's locked in its own room and is not used by anyone. The maxuser connections is set to...

Hi Catadmin, Thanks for the quick reply. Here's a little more background info: The "fast" workstations are not effected by the slow ones, the server runs at full speed. The strange thing is, one of the fast computers all of a sudden became slow, and a slow machine bacame fast. Nothing was...

Hello, I have two questions, first some background info: We are running SQL 2000 on a Windows 2003 server for out aircraft parts database software. There are 7 workstations (windows 2000 and XP) that run the parts database. 4 of those workstations run really fast, the database calls are near...

lol yes.

Hi bcastner, thanks for your reply. Each 98 machine has TCP/IP on it (192.160.10.x) for internet, and Netbui. I was wondering if having too many connections was part of the problem, but some times it runs fast for several monutes with all 3 users logged in, then slows down, other times it's...

Hello. We recently changed our old 10baseT network over to a 100baseT switch, and put in a windows 2000 pro machine to act as a file server (instead of using a poor 98 workstation to also share files) The server is a PIV 2.4GHz machine, with 2 40GB 7200rpm drives setup for RAID mirroring...
