you may need to disconnect current drive mapping before running the above command. i.e. net use z: /d That should decrease any problems caused by users already having that drive letter mapped.

Becoming clearer by the minute. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply. Does it matter that previous database activities were done with the administrator account? I presume not, but as you can tell I am new to this side of life. Will this new user have the rights to create new base databases or will I need to change or assign specific...

I have inherited the support of a system that was set up with administrator as the only OPS$ account. I need to rename this to PVCS I think. Currently when trying to create a new base database the password is failing, mainly because the administrator account is obviously authenticating against...

I know this isn't exactly a helpful comment, but I thought I'd add it anyway. I have had similar problems in the past and the fix seems to be nothing more than carrying out the removal and reinstallation of networking components several times along with a few reboots. Presumably I have done...

Like you TheOldMan346, I am sure I have read somewhere in the Linksys literature that using port forwarding does NOT work with DHCP activated on the router. Try disabling DHCP, just assign each machine a static IP, and then use port forwarding.

sys69, You should be able to do that without a problem. I am running exactly that currently. I have my 'work domain' as my login, which obviously fails to find a domain controller, but logs me in instead with the cached profile. I can then connect to my wireless home network via IP quite...

What is the batch file doing? Can you not give the users access to the server through their domain accounts and nullify the need to enter the password on the server? i.e. is this a permissions issue. What password are they having to supply? Share password or application password?

what's the fix for a corrupted folder if that is the problem?

This is fully documented at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q150604. hope this helps.

The indexing tends to be updated hence the need to repeat it. Try checking in control panel for findfast and then open it and view the log. If these times tie in with when you are seeing the activity this could be the cause. Also check your antivirus setting, these may be set to scan system...

Are you using antivirus, findfast or indexing? Sounds like you are using one of these set to operate when the system is idle.

u could try using SUBST from a command line (think it still works under 2000 server, but I'm more than happy to be corrected) Alternatively you could try right clicking on the folder ya wanna share, setup a share and then map to that in the usual manner. If ya need more details let us know.

I don't suppose anyone has a database they use for this do they? I am currently in a similar situation to lisabennett in that the systems I am now supporting were previously not documented. Not only am I currently having to find my way around the systems and work out what has/hasn't been done...
