Hi GrimR, Server ranges are excluded specifically on the DHCP server. DNS records are correct for the affected servers, as are records in WINS. DCDiag and Netdiag both return no errors. After further research, I have found that I am not the only one observing these symptoms. There are even...

Have observed this behavior in two Windows 2003 Std SP2 domain controllers so far, different domains, same forest, same hardware. Both are/were configured with static TCP/IP configs. When the symptoms appear, if you view the TCP/IP properties for the enabled network connection, the "general"...

What happens if this users logs onto a different computer then attempts to access the same network folder? Is the problem isolated to a single computer, or a single user? If a single computer, you may want to investigate that computer's network connection.

Does the performance problem persist through a system reboot? Have you tried updating your NIC driver, as well as other system drivers?

The preferred way would be to plug a switch into the existing cat5 then connect both PCs to the switch. However, without knowing the exact details of your landlord's network, I cannot say with 100% certainty that this will work. Some home/small office routers have strict requirements in terms...

Ya know, you could attack this a different way. You could start by adding some debug logging into the code at various parts of the script. I have done this in the past to get an idea where a script is failing. For instance, when the script reaches a certain point, it could echo a message into...

Aww, don't give up. You should try DOSbox (I'm not the first person in this thread to mention it). I've managed to get a few stubborn apps and games to run this way with relative ease. Check out the following URL: http://www.dosbox.com/

I would also reinstall Flash and Java, as they can both cause these types of problems.

An aggregate is automatically created with a single plex consisting of one or more raid groups. An aggregate will have a single plex unless it is a syncmirror aggregate, in which case there will be two plexes. Data within a flexible volume will be striped (usually evenly) across the disks in...

There are no Data ONTAP 7.x releases for the F740. Therefore you cannot implement aggregates and flexvols since they were not introduced until ONTAP 7.0 However, on a system where a 7.x release was available, I'd go with a 3-disk raid-dp root volume.

I have a friend who asked my advice on a new POS system for a small retail shop. The shop is a not-for-profit, so cost is a big factor (although they might be able to swing a substantial discount on IBM gear). Their requirements are to ring up basic sales (mostly t-shirts and souvenirs), both...

Not only check file permissions for c:\program files, but make sure that the permissions are correct for specific subdirectories for the failing applications. In other words, make sure that your user account, or a group to which your user account belongs, has the proper permissions to the...

The connection itself is a possibility that needs to be eliminated. I guess it's time I have her connect via usb and re-test. I'm also asking her to boot into safe mode and test there (something I completely forgot to try). Additionally, I've asked her to boot via some form of bootable media...

Ok. She got back to me quicker than I anticipated. Looks like StickyKeys, FilterKeys, and ToggleKeys were all disabled. The on-screen keyboard displays none of the numeric pad issues (ie it echoes numbers to the screen via the numeric pad just fine). - Ravashaak

Linney, I'll have her check those and I'll post the results once she replies. It might take a couple of days. Thanks for the advice. - Ravashaak
