I figured out that the issue was actually with my workstation- my wife's machine works fine. Thanks for all your help! I now have a fully functional win2k server/domain controller/web server! =)

Ok, the server is now handing out IPs to my computers, they're on the DOMAIN, DHCP and DNS are working, and everything is great- except for one thing: Anytime I try to use secure http it says the page cannot be displayed. Is there something extra I need to setup? I'll do some searching, but I...

I'm only have one server- and I gave it an IP outside the range of IPs that it's handing out. It's handing out 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.110 and the server's IP is: 192.168.1.111 You think that's ok? Or does the IP of the server have to be in the range of IPs within DHCP (and then reserved so...

Ok, I'll switch it to 255.255.255.0 I know the machines can see each other. I restarted the DHCP on the Linksys so the XP machines would get an IP, and I could login to the DOMAIN w/o a problem. I also transferred some files back and forth. I can now remote into the server from work- so I...

Ok, now that's I've setup my server to have AD, and I also hard-coded my IP (192.168.1.111). I installed DNS and DHCP on the server. I then turned OFF DHCP on the Linksys. Now when I go to release/renew the IP on the XP machine I get that the DHCP server could not be contacted. I setup a range...

I do have a slight problem, but I can't figure out the easiest way to solve it. I bought a website name (let's call it www.geekguy.com, that's not really the name), and I am using ZoneEdit.com to forward the site to one of my XP machines. I also have the Linksys router port-forwarding to my XP...

Thanks for all the help! I'll disable the DHCP on the Linksys- that's no biggie. If the server ever has issues I can always start it back up. I just setup the Server with AD and DNS. When I come across more issues I'll post them. Yes, I said, "when." =)

You wouldn't happen to know how to do that off the top of your head, would you? =) Thanks for all the info so far- You've changed my mind! I'm going to leave the hardware setup as it is... now it's just a matter of getting it all configured correctly. -Mike

So you think I should just pull the 2nd network card from the Server? I see what you're saying- having the server hanging out on the Internet isn't the best idea- but I just didn't want a conflict when it came to both the Linksys and the Win2k Server handing out IPs. I'll have to check when I...

I have a problem, and I need opinions as to what is best... I have a small, 3 computer network connected to the Linksys 4port switch/router that is connected to my cable modem. The 3 machines are all running Windows XP Pro. I want to install a 4th computer that will be the web/mail server...

Here's a question: Why? Why do you NEED Win98SE if you're using XP? I used to feel that way too- but after 2 years I've finally come to the conclusion that there is NOTHING I can do I Win98SE that I can't do on XP. Even working with DOS programs I've found less problems running them in XP...

Why not just use Pro instead of Home? I'd never use Home if I had a choice. And since it's probably just as illegal to add "5 or 6 files" to Home as it is to use Pro w/o a legal license I say take the plunge. =P

What about in OSX? I haven't seen the option for 'connect on startup'

Ok, I'm responding to my own topic, but anyway- I figured it out (I think). If you change it to send using clear text, THEN click cancel when logging in, THEN try to log back in... that should work. At least it did for me so far. sigh... now if only it could be more secure... =/ -Mike Johnson

I'm not sure what exactly to do, but here is my problem. We are a medium sized company that has a little over a dozen macs, which make up less than 8% of the total computers within the organization. Needless to say, we've decided to upgrade to OS X, but there are some issues with how it...
