    Can burn everything except audio CDs - Why?

    I've researched the problem but have not found a solution yet. I can't seem to create audio CDs. With Nero I've gotten a "Power Calibration Error" message, which in my research seems to mean different things in different setups. Here's what I've tried: 1. I've ruled out bad media because I've...

    Using system restore to revert to pre-spyware state

    A coworker of mine accidently hit a landmine of spyware evil when he accidently went to sqldev.com instead of sqldev.NET. He's gotten rid of most of them, but one seems to be a persistent little bastard. When a spyware program removes it, it comes back. When he kills its process it comes back...

    Mouse moves and clicks itself

    We have a Dell Inspiron 8100 that has had mousing problems before. This was usually solved by disabling the pointing stick. However this time the problem is different. Instead of the mouse cursor constantly drifting in one direction, it seems to be moving itself and randomly clicking itself...

    How do I define this subnet?

    Here's the story: Before we moved we had an entire IP range and the subnet mask for that was fairly straightforward. But now that we've moved and switched providers, we only have a 25 IP range: .96 - .125. I need to adjust the subnet defined in AD Sites and Services. But what do I put in...

    How to disable telnet access to SMTP port

    We have a Windows NT Server (with latest SP) on our external network that runs Post.Office, which relays mail to Exchange 2003 on our internal network. The box needs to have SMTP running, but I want to disable telnet access to it. The Sonicwall firewall we have doesn't seem to have the ability...

    Computer salvage

    Anyone know of a company or organization that will come to our office in Santa Monica (Los Angeles County) and pick up our old computer and network equipment. Be a shame to throw away hardware but we can't use it and we're moving to a place that just doesn't have enough storage for it...

    Moving domain to new IP

    My office is relocating, which is forcing us to move to a new set of IP addresses. I'm a little apprehensive because it seems like there are a lot of things I need to do to move our network and get it up and running in the new location. The worst thing is I'm not sure what all I need to do...

    Moving to a new IP

    My office is moving to a different location, so we're forced to change to a different set of IP addresses. I've never had to move an entire network to a new IP before and am a little apprehensive since I'm not all that familiar with routers. Do I need to do anything with our Cisco 1700 router...

    BE 8.5 and Windows 2003

    We recently moved from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 (a completely different box, not an in-place upgrade). Will I be able to use Backup Exec 8.5 to back up Windows 2003 as well as Exchange 2003? It's been so long since I worked on version 8.5 I can barely remember how to install the remote...

    Converting RAID 1 to a RAID 5 without data loss

    I've been charged with the task of finding out what it would take to increase disk space using new hard drives. They're talking about converting a current RAID 1 (two 16GB drives) into a RAID 5 by adding a third disk. Is this a relatively easy task? I'm familiar with the basic RAID setups...

    Can't access inbox

    We had an employee leave the company but we didn't delete her account because she has a lot of project information in it. The only change I made was to forward incoming emails to a different person. We get the new emails just fine, but now we need to access the old emails, which are still...

    Changing display name in Active Directory Users

    It's a really minor issue, but it still bugs. In Active Directory Users and Computers, when I create a new user account there is generally a first name and last name. This populates the Display Name field and once the account is created, that's what you see listed. However sometimes I only...

    How to assign DNS name to VPN-connected session

    I only know basic DNS functions and am still learning all the advanced stuff. I need to be able to assign a DNS name to a user that connects to our network via VPN. The IP address of their computer changes periodically because of the ISP, so how do I do this? Something with Active Directory...

    Is this hard drive useless?

    I'm pretty sure something is wrong with this hard drive, here's the scenario... A Dell Dimension 8100 was sitting in storage for about a month. I brought it out, turned it on, and it wouldn't boot. So I booted with a Windows 2000 CD and attempted to reinstall the OS. It went through the...

    ATA-100, ATA-133, What do these numbers mean?

    I'm shopping for a replacement hard drive. It's been awhile since I've had to buy one, so some of the new terminology is going above my head. I just need a 20 or 40 GB IDE hard drive. But some of the online listings say things like ATA-100 or ATA-133 instead of IDE. What do these numbers...

    Malicious activity in web logs

    We hav a web server (behind a firewall) that has tons and tons of web log entries that look like this: 2004-02-18 00:15:37 66.12.130.190 - 172.16.201.65 80 SEARCH...

    Disappearing email?

    We're on a Win2000 domain with Exchange 5.5 and Post.Office at the front end. One user seems to be having problems receiving email from anyone within the network (writing from an account in Active Directory). Email from outside the network appear to arrive just fine. I've checked Exchange and...

    Installing a new Build version

    I'm running Backup Exec 9.0 on Windows 2000. I've never installed a new Build before, do you just download it and install it? Do I need to do anything special? Any precautionary steps? While we're on the subject of builds, which is the most stable, bug-free Build of 9.0? I definitely don't...

    Blaster worm and firewall alarms

    Hi, I've been receiving an unusual number of NS25 firewall alarms in the form of IP Sweeps. The vast majority of the alarms come from a 206.* IP, the same octet that my domain starts with. Am I correct in assuming this is due to the worm attempting to probe ports randomly in an effort to...

    Filter for Post.Office or Exchange

    I'm looking for a free or low-cost filter where I can manually put in phrases to block emails. The mail blocking options in Post.Office are limited to blocking specific addresses and domains. I want to be able to block specific attachments and subjects. Can anyone suggest filtering software...
