This is a followup of my post. I find that I cannot start the "TCP/IP Netbios Helper Service". I get an "Error 1068 Dependency service or group failed to start" In the system event log, I get two service control manager errors, one of which has a description "The NetBios over Tcpip service...

I have two PDCs in a small domain, both W2K. I notice that I cannot connect to shares on one of them, although I can ping it and remote desktop to it. I cannot even get it to share to itself, so it is causing problems trying to read the SYSVOL share. I checked the settings for the network card...

I would like to generate a report which tabulates results periodically. That is, weekly, monthly, hourly. So far, I have created a group based on a date field, and I can hard define that group to break on a period. But I don't see anyway that I can manipulate that period using a formula. Any...

I'm trying to generate a report which shows a summary of events by a time interval. Basically, I selected a group, set it to print for each week, and have it print a count of events in the group footer. So, I get something like this: Week, total 1,3 2,9 3,13 However, if there are no events for...

Some of the outlook users at my organization have set up their Outlook to deliver new messages to a local pst instead of the exchange server. Recently, if an email has an attachment, it will be continually delivered, as if the server is not finding out that the message was received by the...

I was talking to the domain registrar. They are the ones that told me to talk to bigguy.gte.net. I will be looking for a competent domain registrar when I need to reregister. Since then, however, we were able to get someone at Verizon to switch it, which makes sense since they probably own...

A school I help recently had to change fixed ip addresses on their DSL line at Verizon. When they somehow found someone at Verizon who could remap the existing domain name to the new fixed ip address, that someone changed the mx records associated with the domain name to point to a hosted email...

I have gotten the laptop to work OK. One of these two things did the trick: Based on another thread here, I installed Spy-bot and ran it. Mostly cookies were up; maybe 3 registry settings and one dll. This is probably what did it: I unchecked the TCP/IP protocol on my network device...

I have 2 laptops and one has mediocre performance with DSL. I have compared them by swapping cables, which did not change the performance, and doing a transfer test between each of them copying from a linux share. On the house side of the DSL, performance is equivalent. That is, the time it...

The Text::CSV module did the trick. Thanks

I am trying to parse a file in a csv format where the fields are separated by commas and the field contents are quoted, ala: "f1","f2","f3","f4" Works most of the time with this: @line=split(/,/,$_); Now, I find a file that has an embedded comma in one of the fields, ala...

OK. basically I need to replace the M: with \\.\backofficestorage\

Hi, I am trying to be a good boy. I have installed and ran the free, MS Exchange Server Best Pracitces Analyzer on our Exchange 2000 Server. It warned that the "Exchange Installable File System drive is enabled" and provided instructions on how to remove it. So I did. No problem with normal...

List $275.

Ok. I can put this one to bed. The next time I called, way different outcome. I got transferred again to the phone, but this time no busy signal; someone answered immediately and I was able to get an activation key very quickly.
