Not a title for a song but a wierd problem... We have two Win2003 Servers, let's call them my_server and his_server. They are on the same physical lan but different subnets and domains although each server has a secondary ip address on the other server's subnet (just to make it easy to run a...

I'm loking for a good way to do reciprocal backups between two NAS's i.e NAS-1 backup on NAS-2, NAS-2 on NAS-1. They are located in different buildings each with a wired LAN but interconnected via a private microwave link so building to building communication is pretty slow. Each NAS will have...

I'm setting up 20 machines in a domain and want to have exactly the same user profile (everything, desktop, start menu, programs, folder settings, etc.) on each machine without having to set them up machine by machine. Then I want to lock them so the user can't make changes. We use single...

I've just installed a Win 3003 Server. All of our XP-Pro (32-bit) machines can join the domain but one running XP-Pro x64 fails. If I create an account for the machine on the server everything seems fine - I even get a message saying the account already exists and do I want to use it (so they...

I would like one of our Linux/Samba servers to always be the master browser for our workgroup. Any advice on how to do this?

I have a problem with machines losing access to a workgroup consisting of 18 machines: 14 XP Pro, 1 XP Pro-64, 2 Linux Samba servers and one NAS. There are 3 switches (2 at 100 Mb/s and 1 at 100/1000 Mb/s with all machines on the same subnet (192.168.100 mask 255.255.255.0). Netbios over tcp/ip...

I'm trying to install Voipbuster or Voipstunt on a PC connected to ADSL via a proxy server but both fail to connect so I can't even register a username. The same PC runs Skype with no problems (Skype found the proxy automagically - I guess from the IE settings). Any thoughts?

I'm trying to switch our ftp service from "anonymous and only anonymous" to users / passwords but when anyone tries to connect they get the message "530 username cannot log in, home directory inaccessible." I've checked the permissions for the ftp users on the ftp root directory and the virtual...

For years we have been running NS 4.7 with all users mail files kept on a Linux/SMB server for easy backup and archiving and so that the same mail account and files can be used from various machines (not at the same time of course). Never had any problems until we converted to 7.1 to get the...

I'm trying to clean up our WinNT Server after a virus infection. I've got rid of the virus but I have two processes running that I'm concerned about. Both are started from Run in the registry: nstrue.exe - registry name: Pofatch fqqe.exe - registry name: Norton AntiVirus (not sure I believe...

We have a very severe performance problem with one of our PC's (Dell 450MHz with 512MB). It can take many minutes to open an application that opens in less than a second on an identical machine. If I stick my ear to the case it sounds like the disk (IDE) is seeking like crazy. If I listen to the...

I want to set up a server (RH 7.3) with only the services that are really needed but there seem to be quite a few dependencies. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list along the lines of "if you want x you must also have y and z"?

We rarely use our server's monitor but when we need to we frequently find the Gnome desktop frozen - just won't respond to any input. The machine is running fine and we can connect to it is via telnet. Is there a command that will shut down Gnome and maybe also x windows if needed?

Does anyone know how to mirror data across two systems? I've seen it's possible across 2 disks on the same system and wondered if there's a way to extend that. I don't need guaranteed synchronization (we're not a bank...) or auto switching to the mirror if the main server fails.

Can anyone recommend a simple reliable backup/restore program for Linux. The programs I've found seem to fall into two categories "free" (but either very limited or don't work) and "priced" (claim to de everything in the galaxy, 99% 0f which don't interest me). I need: -...

I have just installed a Linux (Red Hat 6.2) client on our LAN. NFS client performance is very poor - about one tenth of the speed of other unix (Nextstep) clients. I've tried changing rsize and wsize (1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192) but see very little difference. The NIC is a 3Com 905B Any ideas...

We have a Tandberg (Quantum) DLT 8000 attached to a Linux 6.0 system and are trying to read tapes written with tar on a Silicon Graphics (IRIX) system. When we try to read or list with tar we see only one file anf if we try to open it, the data is invalid. If we perform a second read or list...

Does anyone know of a way to read unix "tar" tapes on Win NT? Thanks in advance, John Connolly

I have a constant problem with WinNT workstations loosing their SID. Does anyone know why this happens? How to stop it happening? The only way I know to recover from this is to switch the machine from our domain to a non-existent workgroup and then switch it back to our domain. Then the user...
