Yes, this is one of the problems that can arise from using your public domain name for your private network. An easy work-around is to add an A record to your local DNS server associating the URL www.atslondon.com with the IP address of your web page. Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice Solutions of...

Tom, have you stopped and started the web site since you changed the security settings? If not, do that and test it again. The changes don't take effect until the site is started up again. Just trying to make sure all bases are touched. Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice Solutions of Joplin Joplin...

Is there something in particular that you want to be able to see on other computers? I don't know of a way to see Control Panel, but Dameware NT Utilities will let you see pretty nearly anything that you want. Maybe that will do the trick. Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice Solutions of Joplin Joplin...

TomGuy, On the same tab of Directory Security where you unchecked "Enable anonymous access," the bottom half is titled "Authenticated access." Did you click on a checkmark for "Integrated Windows authentication?" You have to enable one of those authentication...

Using compression or not for your backup will not cause files not to be backed up. Files are usually not backed up because they are opened exclusively by an application or part of the Windows operating system. If the files have names including WINS, DNS, or DHCP then they will always be busy...

Try this URL. It looks like it should be what you need. http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/iis5/ Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice Solutions of Joplin Joplin, MO, USA

If you want to control both access to the Internet and access to sites, then you'll need to go with WebSense or Screen Door, or one of the other third-party solutions. There's no way that I know of to do all that with Windows 2000. We have stopped users from running Internet Explorer by simply...

What kind of restriction are you considering? Do you want to prevent some users from getting to the Internet, or do you want to block sites? More detail, please. Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice Solutions of Joplin Joplin, MO, USA

Hi, Guy! I did this by running a Kixtart script to announce the logon server. You might also be able to do it with a separate logon script on each server - as long as you remember to kill file replication first. In the separate scripts, you'd need to run a batch file with an "echo&quot...

We just got some new PCs with Windows XP on them. When we try to look at the files in a folder with a lot of files (~12,5000) in it, XP takes a really long time to open the folder. Windows 98 would open it pretty quickly - just a matter of seconds. Why does Windows XP take so long? I've...

We have a person who can reply to e-mails from anyone here, but when she tries to reply to someone from outside our office, she gets an error saying, "550 not local host cableone.net, not a gateway." Our local mail runs on Exhcange Server 2000. I can't see anything different about...

Why aren't you running AD? Maybe there's something I missed in your description of your network. I've run mixed networks with few problems beyond keeping passwords synchronized. If your users were logged on to a Microsoft domain, this wouldn't be a problem. Skip Tarrant, MCSE Choice...

You haven't provided enough information. When you say that your PDC "dies," do you mean that it shuts down? Do you get a blank black or blue screen? Does it freeze (become unresponsive)? Is your PDC connected to a battery backup or a surge supressor? Do you see any errors posted...

Check the permissions granted the logon account on the workstations. You must be logged on as a *local* administrator. In other words, you must be logged on as an administrator of the computer that you're installing the software on. A Domain Admin will be a local administrator, but it's much...

Your first problem is that you cannot demote an NT server with dcpromo. The Microsoft solution is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall NT. The more practical answer is to get UPromote and demote your NT server. It's at http://www.purenetworking.net/Products/UPromote/UPromote.htm. I...
