Butternuts

I apologize, I was out of line. It'll never happen again.

The Fact your giving out 404 errors shows that it is not finding what it wants. If those were not there. . . . .worry.

Check on your server under the configuration of your nic, make sure under the power management the box next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is unchecked. Otherwise it wont listen until you double click the drive.

I have seen this. I deleted and reinstalled the tcp/ip and it fixed the problem. Hope that helps.

Have you replaced the NIC yet to verify it is not going bad? If its an onboard I would just disable it and add in one just to see. Only a thought. I have had a few nics that would RIS ok, but then fail during file transfers after install. Replacing them solved the problem.

Have you tried adding it to their logon scripts?

Come on guys . . think . . . think . . . USE A SIF FILE, answer all the questions and start the install. It'll finish on its own and be up and ready to Rock and ROLL It is possible, we do it here. It works great!!

So is your name Really Clutch or is that an alias you hide behind? If it is, is Clutch your first name or your lastname? . . update: Sorry Mr. Carter, can I call you James? Why wouldn't you just go by James or JC or JCarter. Could you let me know why you chose clutch? Does it have to do with Cars? Thanks

Clutch . . yes I am having fun

Pathetic x) x)

Locked out huh? wierd. Well, I guess that is that . . CAN you say a future DOS? Thanks . . be chatting (via another name) To the rest of you . . . I will let you use my Buttery nuts to add flavor to your dinner tonight. Enjoy. I came to this board to look and see what was up, You guys ask some of the lamest questions. If you had any troubleshooting skills, or skills at all you could figure these things out on your own. But YOU DONT!! So . . how many here from Branch Support!! ( * ) kiss

Oh my god, get a towel. Are you looking for everyone to say "You are the man Clutch"? Fine . . . YOU ARE THE MAN!!! Talk about a needy personality, do you count up your posts and write them down on paper and roll in the yelling "people like me because I am smart"? Maybe you should take a step back and evaluate your priorities. Every forum has a "clutch member" this ones just happens to have the name too.

Clutch, I actually just decided to join under this name So anyway, what point is it I am sapposed to be expanding on? You seem to like to repeat what others say in their previous posts like you were saying them for the first time, why is that? The Question was about Windows 2000 work station and server. You missed some information then tried to blame it on the fact there is a flaw in NT. As far as I could tell we were not talking or discussing NT. When I pointed that out you tried to make it seem Like you had allready mentioned it. (why?) The reason for my agressive posting IS that I do not like to see information given out in a noncomplete iteration. I like things to be complete. If that is not the way people like the posts to be on this board then what is the point? As for witty . . naw not quite. BN

Clutch, Do you EVER admit that you may have been wrong or mistaken or possibly just forgot to put something in a reply? That said . . The FLAW was not and is not with Windows 2000. So I guess that just doesn't really apply. As for the Domain permissions, Silver-Dagger mentioned them not I. I was just stating that you did not say anything about DOMAIN level permissions in your reply. BN I know this will probably get a prompt reply from clutch with some witty comments, unfortunately I cannot monitor this board with the same amount of enthusiasm as Clutch.

S-D The answer is NO. A normal user cannot just ADD himself or anyone else into the Administrators group. You need to have someone with that permission already to add people or groups to the local machine. I am sure that clutch was going to add that in at the end but forgot. He also did not say anything that I read about setting Domain permissions. Well, you may want to talk to the SYSADMINS at your workplace and see what they say, I am sure there is some type of policy in place. BN
