Hello, I have a network of four computers connected to a router, one running linux, one running XP and two running 2000 Pro. On one of the 2k boxes is a lexmarkX83 connected, which works perfectly locally. Except for the linux box, the other computers can print IF I first login by typing \\PrintPC and entering admin identification. If I use guest mode, I can access the printer, but when start printing, it sends about 4bytes of data to the computer and stays in the queue (and after that cannot remove the job, have to restart the PrintPC). So I thought of two solutions to this, but I don't know how to apply them: -Store somehow the admin ID on each computer so when starting up they connect automatically -Create a password-free guest account on PinterPC, which would allow an automatic connection without password storage (and wouldn't require to enter anything) I've tried both but never managed to get it working. Either after a reboot it would say on the "client" boxes that they couldn't establish a connection, or connection refused (if at least it would ask for a password), or it wouldn't print at all with guest account. If anyone has an idea how to solve this, it would be great help (been on this now for more then 12hours) Thanks a lot, tessx

Hum Maybe I can simplify the question: How can I create on my PrinterPC a "workgroup user" ? When changing settings in the security tab of my printer, i can only choose in the "look in/search in" field my local computer. besides, when I add a "guest" account, it adds PinterPC\guest maybe that's why a remote guest cannot connect ? Would I need some sort of WORKGROUP\guest ?

Pliz help me ! Well here are the two problems: -I've got a new xp1800+ G4MX440 msi KT3Ultra2 computer and GTA2 goes incredibly fast: with one move you cross the entire city... Ive tried the tab 'frame limit' but then it goes too slow. On another computer running 2k also (a celeron 368 ati rage 8mb), it works fine. I didnt find any patch or anything. What can I do ? -Now for half-life, no matter wich version ( i tried from the 1.0.0.7 to the 1.1.1.0), on the second computer (the celeron one), the game only runs on software mode, and won't run on d3d. In d3d it's ugly, and all transparent objects are black, and when I enter the menu, all i get is a black screen. I've got the latest ati driver. Well if anyone could help for one of these games it would be great. thx

well for the latest ati for w2k on their support website they tell me that the latest driver is installed with w2k sp2, and that tou can find it in some folder... As for the g4 I have it for 2weeks only but i'll check tonight. Thx

well on none of the machines. sp3 can't coz i don't have any space left (it takes 350megs), ive got dx8.1a on both, well one motherboard has the latest, but the otherone has a strange packard-bell motherboard, so can't do anything about that, and i don't know what WHQL is. sorry :x personnaly i don't think its directx neither sp3, but maybe the others... as i said earlier, one computer has a problem with gta2, and none with HL, and the other one has no prob. with Gta2 and has with hl. quite complicated, i know ;(

For wich game is it ? because hl runs fine on one, and gta2 works on the other one... but none have the 2 games running correctly

Well the game work well on winme before... even if it wasn't incredibly beautiful, it still worked d3d 640*480. anyway I can't change my videocard, it's integrated to the mainboard... I would have to change the mainboard and even the processor...

Help me! I get these messages with allmost every game I try to play on 2k! And worse, nobody seems to get these messages. ;( I have installed sp3 hoping it would change something and the problem is still here and the sp added 300megs to my hd. I heard that it's drwatson that creates these errors... Please tell me what to do

I find it strange to see everyone beeing able to run games like driver, rainbowsix etc on win2000 with apps like qfixapp etc. Every time I run driver or rainbowsix or most of my games exept HL I get an error message saying something like "the memory cannot be read" and a list of numbers. Ive tried for rainbow six all kind of methods and I still do get this message. ;( But I tried to start with 2k rainbowsix over a lan on a computer under ME and then i get a normal error message saying "Sorry, not compatible with nt". Why do I get all those memory error messages ? Am I the only one? nobody seems to have this problem ;(

;( How do I configure it less agressive ?

It's me again (or for some) I would like to know if there is a way of "blocking" -can't find the right term- the users on a computer: like disable acces to some folders or my computer or just to the files of the other users... is it only with ntfs ??

:x That's nice... thx for the info

well thx... I guess I should create a multi-boot with 98...

It is an empty hd that I formated... I don't really need it, I just wanted to know how it works... Maybe in the (near) future I'll need it

thx I'm formating my hd now...

no one to responde ???

to dosfreak: just one question, is it reliable ? It's just that I don't like the idea of creating a boot floppy and rebooting with it... Exept the games, my sys works fine, and would quite like it to work for some more time

looks great except that I wouldn't want to get on a platform "floating" (imagine the weight of 100,000 km carbonewhatever ribbon...) in the pacific ocean... they say there are no storms or whatever... But who knows in 20 years maybe the earth would be so polluted that even in the pacific ocean storms would exist hope not... I would prefer having the "base" in texas, siberia, sahara or wherever... but not on water.

I don't think its a 2k problem but just general: I've got a compaq desktop 5200 mmx running 2k on a pentium 200, and since I installed a superior version then 95, I can't acces the bios, and can't install 95 anymore... Is there a possibility that i removed some files after formatting (I don't know much about bioses) ? And/Or is there a way of reinstalling the bios, it'd be quite useful . Sorry I know that it has nothing to do with 2k (or maybe), but anyway, *please answer*

>> for clutch: love your homepage :x

So, I'll answer in order -Well I don't have the cds -When I say Bios, I actually try to enter it with F2, F10, F8 or DEL or something to be able to modify the order of boot, power options etc... -Yes I'm on FAT32... or (depends ) -And win does boot correctly Only that I've got a boot on cd first and would like to change that Also one thing, the bios (when I could still access it) was wierd ;( It was like running on win 3.1... using mouse and white windows... But I was limited to 4 icons I think and the checkboxes weren't like 3.1... :x

sorry, don't have amd, but a p200 & a celeron 366... wish I had an amd I'm going to check the mem with the app above... I'll tell you more later

http://www.compaq.com/support/files/deskpro/us/locate/20_69.html Could someone tell what am I supposed to download ? ;( There's quite a choice and as I said before, I know almost nothing about bioses... :x

yes i did delete the partitions I tried already once to find any bios files but this computer must have 6 years... I'll search again...

Or maybe it's that I'm not on ntfs ? Also, driver and rainbow six work fine on Me...
