Also, the reason I have to disable the Firewall/ICS service is because with it enabled, svchost continually eats up one of my two processor cores. Yes, I should probably reinstall Windows...but what a pain. I'm trying to hold off until I build a new machine when Nehalem comes out.

I have actually resolved this. A while back, I had disabled the Windows Firewall / ICS service. So I re-enabled it, disabled our AD policy for the firewall settings, rebooted, re-enabled the policy, rebooted, and turned off the service again....somehow...*poof*...I can once again connect to my...

I just started having this issue where I can't connect to my workstation from any other box -- RDP, file shares, PING....nothing Wireshark shows incoming SYN requests, but that's it. I have no problems RDPing to other machines or connecting to file shares etc. Updated by NICs to the latest...

Could someone please verify if this server has a true full-length expansion slot available? That is, will it accomodate a card that is 31.2cm long? Thanks very much.

I would like to route messages that come from the outside to a gateway address. For example, when someone sends a message to alarms@mycompany.com, the message should be routed to [OCTELAN:1234] so the Exchange gateway that handles that address type can process the message. I have tried routing...

Here's something that used to work for us before yesterday, and I don't know what changed. Our fax server sends SMTP messages to our users by only specifying the sender address as "FACSys Fax Connector@". As I said, this always worked. Now, Exchange 2003 is rejecting the messages with the error...

I would like to be able to open up a new window on a network file share (a DFS root specifically) and use alternate domain/username/password credentials that are entered by the user as part of the script. Is this possible? Thanks.

Thanks very much Patrick! I appreciate all your help. Joe

Patrick, Sorry for the confusion. I actually have Metaframe 1.8 Service Pack 2 (with FR1 installed). In this case, should I be entitled to an upgrade that supports Win2K3? Joe

Patrick, I had thought about ditching Citrix, but isn't the screen performance better (more efficient) with Citrix vs. Windows 2003? Do you know if FP3 is a billable upgrade? I see they have service packs 3 and 4 available on the web site, but this isn't the same thing, is it? Thanks! Joe

What will happen if I upgrade my existing Metaframe XP 1.8 FP2 server, running on Win2K, to Windows Server 2003? Will it work? Thanks.

Yes, I know that 100Mbps will give you 8-9MB/sec. My point was that my personal workstation achieves that throughput, while the PC that's connected through the 1711 to our network gets only 1MB/sec maximum. I'm wondering how to enable full 100Mbps functionality through the 1711. The devices that...

Nope. I just tested throughput on my machine, which is connected to this switch: 8-9MBytes/sec on average

Nothing is set to 10. There are other devices connected to the same switch as the WAN side of the 1711, and they can transfer at 100MBit.

I have been testing throughput on my 1711 router, and it seems to be limited to 10mb/sec. I've tried setting the "speed" parameter on the interfaces, but even if I force it to "100", file transferes are still locked at 10. Any ideas? Thanks.
