Glad to hear you got it working, by the way. Now slightly off-topic: for anyone who really wants to screw up their entire way of thinking about IP, install IPV6 support from the beta service pack and connect to the 6 bone on a tunnel, then check out those new-fangled IP addresses. Old IP...

IP address changes cause the connection to be disabled, then enabled. This is by design. It allows the IP stack to check for the presence of duplicate IP addresses without violating network rules by having two destinations with the same IP address at any time. Shaith Network Engineer MCP...

Take a look at the profiles you're using - that's one of the likely candidates for lengthy logins, particularly if you're using a roaming profile. You'll need to change the "My Documents" mapping to point to a global location instead of a local one. Shaith Network Engineer MCP...

Seems the only thing you haven't tried is right-click-dragging the file to the destination and letting go, then clicking the Copy Here selection when the dialog box popped up. Check your event logs and see if there are errors there - you may have a bad sector on the hard drive, and this is...

Try assigning an administrator password to all of the machines (the same one of course). Remote admin isn't allowed without passwords, nor is remote desktop. This is for security purposes. Tip: BAD idea to have a bunch of machines with no administrator password. Then establish a...

Ran across this one after a network card replacement. When trying to assign a static address to the replacement, I kept getting warning messages that the IP address was already assigned to an adapter in the system. A little bit of research showed the simple fix. The full error message you'd...

In the regional options, under languages/details, check for what input languages are installed. Under the advanced tab, check for what language to use with non-unicode programs. In the regional options tab itself, check format, and location. In Internet explorer, under tools/internet...

For Drive Mappings: Open Explorer. Click tools, then Disconnect mapped drive. Select the mapped drive and click OK. Repeat process until all mappings are gone. For Printer mappings: Start/control panel/printers and faxes Delete all printers you don't need by clicking each one and hitting...

I had this problem with one machine as well. Uninstalled all creative software, then went and deleted the Creative folder under Program Files and rebooted, then installed the drivers from the Creative website. worked like a charm, no problems since. Shaith Network Engineer MCP, Windows XP

To im2dtailed: nprotect.exe is the symantec recycle bin protection. Right-click the recycle bin and turn off all norton protection for all drives. This should prevent nprotect from loading. See if you still experience your problem after doing this. Shaith Network Engineer MCP, Windows XP
