    3Com 3300 - is it busted or can I fix it?

    I've managed to get it to work at last - I downloaded the latest software (Sept 04) and the update tool - and figuring I had nothing to loose - ran the update. I didn't expect it to work with the serial port not responding. It took about 20 minutes but it's come back up fine. it's running on a...

    3Com 3300 - is it busted or can I fix it?

    Hi all, Sorry - put this in as a reply to another thread by accident. DOH! Have been given a 3Com 3300 24-port switch (3C16980), but I'm getting all the port lights on except 2 - varies between port 1 and port 3 - both green and orange flashing, and all the unit lights on. Looking at the...

    Hard reset IP Address on 3300

    Hi all, Have been given a 3Com 3300 24-port switch (3C16980), but I'm getting all the port lights on except 2 - varies between port 1 and port 3 - both green and orange flashing, and all the unit lights on. Looking at the online documentation I presume this means it's knackered. I can't log...

    Crystal Reports Viewer/ODBC 08004 error

    Nope - only one client has SP2, and that works fine. Sods Law and all that. It was the first thing I checked. The problem is intermittent, and works sometimes but not others. I'm wondering if it's a cross-domain thing, ADS to NT Domain.

    New to Automation Software

    Thanks guys. Training has indeed been booked, but forums are always a good source of assistance anyway and networking assists everyone. Will post any probs if I can and maybe help some others out later on, who knows? :0) Matt

    HTML Authoring - can't save ODBC linked fields

    Firstly - I'm no programmer, thus the old D'n'D approach. Running OOo 1.1.2 (just upgraded from 1.1.1), Win2k Pro on the laptop, XP Pro on desktop. Windows 2000 Server on the server. SQL Server 6.5 on NT4 (don't ask!). I'm having trouble with ODBC database access via a web page: I want to...

    New to Automation Software

    Sorry - put this in the wrong place to start with so had to copy it here. :0) I'm just starting up with RSLinx with Rockwell and Allen-Bradley stuff on printing press controls, so will probably be a regular here - fantastic to fins a forum on this. I know virtually nuffink about it - like...

    Forum for Allen-Bradley PLC and RSLinx ?

    I'm just starting up with RSLinx with Rockwell and Allen-Bradley stuff on printing press controls, so will probably be a regular here - fantastic to fins a forum on this. I know virtually nuffink about it - like learning networking all over again from the ground up! Got some stuff on OPC to...

    VBS and DFS

    Found the problem - it was jumping to an error handling routine before the verification that the share exists had had time to complete, put in a small delay loop and it works fine. Thought there had to be summat wrong somewhere, but this is the first time I've got to use DFS in anger, having...

    VBS and DFS

    The strServer is there cos I cobbled the script from elsewhere and I'm using the existing variable for the DFS Root share and mapping to a couple of individual links, dependant on which AD group they belong to. I could call it strDFSRoot I suppose. If I map direct to the server and share the...

    VBS and DFS

    Hi All For some reason I can't map to a DFS share from a VBS login script. If I use standard UNC paths to a server it works fine but defeats the object of using DFS. I've wondered if it needs a different approach but I don't know that much about VBS - still learnin'! Running AD on 2k Server...

    Mirroring Win2k shares over a WAN

    I want to be able to mirror some of the shares on 3 servers to shares on a NAS box over a WAN. It'll be about 10GB but has to run over night on a Saturday as that's the only time the network is quiet enough. Is there any software that I can use to do it? I've looked at things like xcopy, but...

    Inodes at 100% - intermitant problem

    It's been running for 2 years without a hitch (it is Unix, after all) but the HDD were increased a year or so ago from 4 drives to 6 I believe, I can't remember the exact number. We're starting to think it's a drive, but it only started after adding the NAS. SCO/Caldera don't seem to know, our...

    Inodes at 100% - intermitant problem

    The problem is on /u1, it's a Compaq Proliant with RAID 5 across 6 disks, aprox 250GB in total, but the files are scanned images, all tiffs about 3k in size and quite a deep directory structure. The NAS box was taken off as soon as the problem appeared and hasn't been on since - have good old...
