I know there is a way to see what mac addresses are going to a particular port by using the SHOW MAC command on a Cisco 3500 switch, but is there a way to show the NETBIOS names of the workstations that those MAC addresses go with? If I cant find the NETBIOS names for the workstations, is there...
Some web pages will not print to networked HP printers from NT client computers. The job will spool endlessly and will either give a printer error, or never print at all. The solution is to install the HP Network Printer Install Wizard located at...
We have several HP 4100 network printers that have problems printing certain webpages from NT clients. A good example of the problem is when you try to print a map off of http://maps.yahoo.com. The problem also happens in the web based version of PeopleSoft, but not everyone uses PeopleSoft. The...
We have a cisco 3500 and i know i can lookup what mac address are attached to the ports by the show mac command. Is there any way to find the IP address (only given the mac address) either from the IOS or from the Windows command prompt (without a third party software)?

I noticed that on NT, if i run a batch file that calls an .exe, then the batch file waits until the active window has finished doing whatever it needs to do, and when it completes, the batch file continues running. This is not so on a Windows 98 machine. The batch file calls the .exe and then...
One machine has problems making hyperlinks to other excel worksheets. We have reinstalled office on that machine but it still wont create hyperlinks. I did notice that on machines that it works on, if you link to a sheet that is in the same directory, then it doesnt put the entire path to the...
I have an extremely simple batch file that requires a Y/N input from the user. Is there any way to set the answer from within the batch file? The line reads net use * /d.
Some of our Windows NT clients do not respond to the CNTRL ALT DELETE button in the remote tools window. I heard this was an issue, and to resolve it, i was told to reboot the machine so that the proper registration entries were written in. I have done that with no luck. Does anyone know which...
I can open up NT diagnostics on my local machine and see all of my mapped network drives, but when viewing NT diag. thru SMS on a remote machine they do not show. Is there a query i can run to give me the same information or is it a security "feature" that wont let me view networked...
I have several machines that need all the mapped drives deleted and remapped using a batch file. I figured the quickest way to do it was add a NET USE * /d command at the start of the batch file and then map the drives that need to be added. The problem is, when you run the command, it prompts...
We converted an Access 97 database to Access 2000 and now when a certain macro runs, i get -cannot update- database or object is read only. The macro imports data (fixed width) from a text file (.dat) into a table which has no restrictions on it what so ever. When looking at the VB code in...
I connected to a machine on our network using \\machinename\share and tried looking at the recycle bin and temporary internet files but it pulled up what was in MY recycle bin and temporary internet files. Is there any way to see what is in those folders without logging in on that machine locally?
"...the file may be read only or you may be trying to access a read only location, or the file server has stopped responding." This error comes up when trying to open a couple of Xcel spreadsheets on our network. The post from microsofts support page has the same error, but it is only...
When trying to open a certain Excel worksheet, i get a "Device I/O error". This happens even when i copy the file to a different location. It happens on excel 2000 and excel 97. I can pull up the file in Word, but that would be alot of data to reformat and i dont think it is complete...
We have some NT clients that spool certain web pages, but they never print. I found what the solution is but i need to know if i can fix it or if it is a setting in the HTML. Here is the issue... if you go to a web page and go to file and print you will see a selection for printing frames. Some...
I have setup a VPN connection from a workstation that dials up via proxy server- which is my client machine, and one that connects thru a direct cable modem connection- this machine is the VPN server. Both machines are Windows 2000 When trying to connect to the VPN i get "there was no...
I have heard alot about HP openview, but on their website they have alot of Openview software. Which package relates to SNMP and what does it do in a general sense.
>(::O>
I am fairly new to SNMP and have just started to do some research into the subject. Is SNMP just a reporting tool or can you actually manage system resources on remote PC's with it. For example, we have printers that are hooked up directly to the network, so if a printer queue jams on a local...
