The fix is right enough for the PCAnywhere problem but in this scenario (I don't know if aditrusj will back me up here) the problems were much more serious- After booting in to Safe Mode (and Logging in) there was a Paging File error which is a more obvious result of the extra drive problem-...

Does anyone know if this worked? I have exactly the same problem- and it sounds a plausible explanation- unfortunately I'm waiting for my helpdesk to get back to me with a local administrator's password- to be able to boot in safe mode

The built-in Administrator account can't be locked out otherwise somebody could intentionally use wrong passwords to lock this account out leaving the machine unadministrable (if that's a word). If you feel that this is a security problem then rename the account HTH

These things work differently depending on which protocols you are using- assuming you have a Microsoft Networking setup using TCP/IP then yes there is additional traffic if you activate filesharing on a machine- for exactly the reason you said (so that it can announce it's resources)- however...

I'm not really sure what the problem is here. Does your new internet link work properly? ...and is this just a question of requiring to know how to configure your clients? Do your clients have the new gateway (ie. router IP address)setup? do you use a proxy? If these questions don't make...

Yeah- that's the beauty of the layered approach- as far as you or your application is concerned-e everything is the same (The only exception is performance- remeber WAN links are slower than LAN/ Ethernet)

Yeah- the router will have a LAN IP Address (on it's Ethernet interface) and IP addresses for the other attached interfaces (remember the router is attached to the LAN and The WAN)

I don't necessarily know what's relevant for your scenario but I had a similar problem last week and worked through Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q183060 which helped me out greatly

You can migrate everyone to DHCP and can allocate certain IP addresses to always be assigned to certain MAC addresses if you wish to retain the current static addresses

By definition a WAN is a collection of LANs separated geographically and joined together somehow. In very simple terms (though also true for the majority of cases) a LAN would be defined by an IP subnet and would be connected via a router to another IP subnet(s) forming a WAN (pedants- I know...

I know the following definitely works for win9x clients- I would imagine its something similar for NT wkstn: You can create your policy file and save it to an area that the users logging on to the workstations have read access (i.e a share on your member server- give everyone read access): you...

Ghost will do the trick but remember to use the change SID function (I think it's called Ghost Walker). Also ask yourself if you really do want to clone the machine (for instance this wouldn't make sense if you have configured the first one as a PDC and you were wanting to introduce the second...

There isn't really any difference between connecting your machine to a Lan or a Wan: if your Lan is part of a Wan and this host is allocated (via either method) an IP address then existing Wan infrastructure (i.e. routers) should make this host available (N.B. some configuration would maybe be...

I am assuming that you are talking about traffic (packets) to and from your machine or on a Lan segment. There are various tools out there including Microsoft's Network Monitor: I found a pretty useful shareware/demo utility called Comm View available from www.tamosoft.com : it's really easy to...

Site has 128k leased line and Livingston?! router and can successfully connect to and browse most web sites- IP Routing, DNS, Firewall configuration etc. are therefore all working fine. Here's the bizarre part: Browsing to some websites (e.g. bt.com, cw.com) results in the 'Web-site found...
