I have a question, If you don't take certifications, but you want to get into UNIX then what would be the best way to get into it? I have been dabbling with Linux for a few years now and consider myself of intermediate knowledge and ability, but with Solaris or any other commercial UNIX I have...

Patty, There must be a firewall in-between the two domains. Has replication ever worked? If not then the firewall in the London office must be blocking RPC communications. I would suggest talking to one of the network engineers that maintains the WAN links (unless there isn't one) to find out...

Great! I didn't know there was a key to do that. I'll make sure to put that in my information log! --James

Yes, but the MMC doesn't have this ability inherently - only the snap-ins such as Group Policy will allow you to connect to a remote machine. It depends on the snap-in to allow you to be able to login as the local machine. If you're prompted for username and password then just supply local...

Yes - we use it on all our policies and have no problems with it. What's the problem you're having and what are you trying to do? All you have to do is create your policy on the OU that stores your computers such as: You have a group of 5 machines in a department that you want to apply...

Has the IP address of the machine changed? Can you ping the machine? Does NSlookup provide the correct ip address e.g. same ip address that you can ping the machine by? Check your pointer and host records on the dns server to make sure they're consistent. HTH! --James

Hello folks, I have a home network of 3 computers and I would like to create a Web Share on my Windows .NET domain to a location on my domain controller hard drive. The web sharing portion was not difficult and I know I have the DNS configured properly. I created the Web Share by right...

libraries in linux are almost exactly like libraries in windows. you need to update glibc - just do a search on RPMfind.net for an updated version for your distribution. --James

You shouldn't have to create separate installers for both. I create packages at work all the time using Wise Package Studio 3.2 and they work on Win98 through WinXP. Of course it depends on the software that you're installing. If the software doesn't support Windows XP and it does Windows...

gah! maybe i'll get it right this time.... rpm --rebuild package.src.rpm It's late! --James

sorry the rpm --rebuild package.rpm should be: rpm --rebuild package.srpm HTH! --James

You need to upgrade to at least XFree86 4.1. To do this: read the installation howto at www.xfree86.org You will also need to upgrade your C libraries for the drivers to work as well as any dependencies that xfree86 4.1 has. Then you should be able to install the Radeon Drivers. HTH! --James

Run rpm -ivh package.rpm --nodeps This command will force RPM to install and not check dependencies, however, I don't recommend doing this. Check your /etc/ld.so.conf for the correct library paths and try re-running ldconfig. You could always download the .src.rpm's of this package and issue...

Install Samba on the linux machine www.samba.org --James

Leozack, You said you're running MS Firewall Client - What exactly is the MS Firewall Client? Are you talking about the Personal Firewall that is built into Windows XP? Before NAT will work you're going to have to punch a hole in the firewall to allow that port to pass on the given protocol...
