Can anyone help with a problem we have where file transfer between our 2000 server and our 2000 clients takes far too long. The clients can transfer between thelmselves very quickly but a 25mb file to the server takes around 20 mins!!!.The XP machines and 98 clients on the same network are fine...

Does anyone know how to fix a problem with older version of Claris Works asking for a wmf.f32 file on startup It occurs when the software is opened by a user other than the one that installed it. The OS is Windows 2000 so its probably profile related but I am not sure how to fix it? Anyone...

Has anyone had a problem with PC-Anywhere and RAS clashing even through they are on different modems and different telephone numbers. There is a support doc on the Symantec website which describes the problem exactly saying that if you get the black screen when logging in to PC anywhere then...

Sorry Crundy. I was a bit misleading there. I had a range of ten and then i tried dropping it to two with no success. The log doesnt report anything out of the ordinary happening. It does only happen on certain machines. I am going to see if its only happening on the people who have dial in...

Thanks for the reply Crundy. I originally had set aside a range of 10 addresses.Do you suggest even more than that? John

Guys. We now have administrative rights back.We used the makesu.nlm from dreamlan.com and that recreated a new admin user with rights to the tree. Its cost $99 but it was money well spent. Thanks John

Hi We have tried most of the utilites available ie makesu.nlm, genesis etc and they all failed with cannot load symbol errors due to the fact we didnt have the latest support packs loaded before this happened. I have managed to create a user with supervisor access using burglar.nlm but this...

We are going to try using the Genesis software provided by http://www.imailds.com but we need to update the support packs first. I will post the outcome here. Thanks for all your help John
