I am using it to monitor and record 2 video cameras 24 hours a day. When it reboots it goes right back to monitoring the cameras maybe once a day maybe twice. I loose about 1 minute of video recording time each time it reboots. Not a big deal just a little irritating. No onboard video. It was...

DNS runs on the Server. It is a small network with only one server. Everything seems to be working correctly but nslookup says it cannot find the server. I have re registered the AD using ipconfig /registerdns. I used netdiag /fix to repopulate the DNS entries. Running Server 2003 version 5.2. I...

Is there any way to join XP home to a server 2003 domain? I have only dealt with XP Pro but would like to know if there are other options for XP Home.
