I downloaded and installed Lacey Mail Server and was able to get this configured to do what I needed it to do by setting my email domain to localhost, and doing the same for Outlook Express.

I am attempting to set up a localized email server on a Windows XP computer. The purpose of this is to have an email server that is on my computer and that will send email from my computer to my computer, with no network connections. Basically, I want to have the local email server send mail to...

Hello, I am attempting to set up, if possible, a wireless connection from a computer located in another room, connected to a Netgear MR814 router, to my Westell 327W DSL router/modem located within another area. Both routers have wireless capabilities, but I am basically attempting for both...

Thanks for the information. One of the variables that I need to append to with a certain application involves JAVA_HOME, but there are others as well. Using setx.exe seems to work fine for the system path, as it does append to it, such as in the following example: setx path "%PATH%;c:\home" -m...

I've recently come across the setx.exe utility from Windows XP Resource Kit. I have been able to successfully append the system path, but whenever I attempt to append another variable, the value is overwritten. For example, I need to add a variable: setx JAVA_HOME "c:\java" -m This works as it...

I recently switched over to Comcast cable Internet service, and am having connectivity issues with accessing the Internet through my Linksys BEFSR41v3 router. I have followed some steps in other forums regarding setting the clone MAC address setting in the router, and have gotten the router to...

Well, it appears that the modem in question is not just a modem at all. It is a router/modem, thus the reason why I am having a problem. The problem that I am facing now is how to access the web-driven interface for this Westell 6100 Router/Modem, which typing in 192.168.1.1 does not appear to...

It seems to receive a valid IP address assigned by the ISP. However, what confuses me is that within the router configuration that a setting for the Internet IP address is reported as 192.168.x.x, where the IP address returned from www.whatismyip.com was reported as 72.48.x.x. As stated...

The modem is not a router; it is jsut a regular modem. When I attempt to connect to the router via the Internet, given the external IP address, the page times out. However, connecting across the LAN I have no troubles whatsoever. I have prot forwarding to a specific computer for VNC and FTP, and...

Hello, Does nayone know how to increase the registry size for Windows Server 2003? The instructions for XP/2000 do not seem to apply any longer. Thanks.

Hello, I am attempting to access a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router remotely, but am unable to do so. I have DDNS set up for the router, and am able to ping the router with the correct IP address. I have enabled Remote Management from the web-based utility while it was connected to the local...

Hello, I have been delegated as a system administrator, and would like to know what the pros and cons of allowing domain users to control changing their own passwords at their own leisure are. I have typically been under the impression that keeping a list of users passwords was the best option...

I don't know to whom exactly the policies pertained to. Is there a way to bypass the Group Policy for this machine? As of now, I can only run tow applications that were specified, even as an administrator. Thanks.

Hello, I recently made changes in the Global Policy Objects within Windows Server 2003, giving users access to specific applications only by using the Run only allowed Windows applications settings. My problem is that now even Administrators cannot access anything else other than these...

I would like to set up a remote share that is accessible via the Internet from my home computer. I am already familiar with setting up network shared folders, but only within a LAN environment. I would imagine the same sort of basics apply to a WAN environment as well, but I am unsure as to what...
