Curious2 just taught me something. I guess not needing NetBios, I never even looked for it. I used to use a PPTP tunnel to link these particular locations and was accustomed to using WINS or ADDNS Name resolution. It will still be more reliable and faster resolving than trusting NetBios will...

Probably the biggest problem I am seeing with everyone's config who is having trouble is (as noted by NIK_420) your addressing scheme. 2 identical subnets cannot route between one another, Rule 1 of IP and routing. I use a 10.1.1.0/24 (255.255.255.0) on one end and 10.1.2.0/24 on the other (It...

Hey all, Just an FYI. I am running 2 BEFVP41's on cablemodems linking 2 remote networks. I am having no problems, (I actually run 2 2000 servers in the same domain via this tunnel, It's flawless) I am running a newer rev of the firmware (1.40.2, It actually allows the use of FQDN's now!) Works...

Maxtors are horrific drives with a miserable lifespan! Use IBM Deskstars! 30 gig, 45 gig, 60 gig. Fantastic, Super quiet drives, Long life span,7200 rpm, UDMA 100, 2 MB Cache (sdram) FFFFFFFFAAAAAASSSSTTTTT!!!!! I can't say enough good things about them. Tim

Hey Karl, Are you sure you didn't get an ASUS A7V? Or did you jam the duron in the slot? (K7V is SlotA) Just Curious.... I'm running the Athlon 950 t-bird in the ABIT KT7-RAID I gave up on the Asus, Boots waaaaaaaaay too slow! I'm up in WinME in 8.7 seconds. (Win98 SE still takes 18-22...

The directory schema is wicked complicated. I don't mean to sound insulting, but If you are the primary support person in a 2000 structure, You need to take a course or two. Respectfully, Timothy Cox When in doubt...........FDISK! ;)

It has SMTP service. go to add-remove programs, add-remove windows components, look in iis 5.0, smtp is buried in there. Timothy Cox When in doubt..........FDISK! ;)

Are you seeing both the PDC and BDC's in the WINS manager? Are all your servers at sp6a, They should be. Do you have any other IP's on the servers? If you do, Make absolutely sure the first IP listed on all the servers is in the same subnet (wicked important to avoid breaking wins) If wins...

This IS the easiest way to do it. trust me-I've done it SEVERAL times. I have to make some assumptions: Because you stated it's an 8.5 gig partition, Either you are running NT4.0 and this is a second HD,with exchange 5.0/5.5 or: You are running 2000 server w/ exchange 5.0/5.5/2000 In either...

Interesting problem, Personally, My solution would be simple. If you have your laptop fully sync'd with Exchange, And you can access ALL of your data from another workstation (And you are dead sure you are 100% sync'd) Then I would blow-up the existing profile on your laptop, (delete it and any...
