Well you got a PCI card that provides connections for up to 15 wide UltraSCSI devices and transfers data at up to 40 MBytes/sec. I believe it supports SE and HVD devices. Wide means it supports the 68 pin standard. So the hard drive you are looking for is part of the SCSI 3 generation or older and the termination on that would be 110 active ohms. The cable you describe would provide the necessary termination. Probably a little too much information, but as long as you purchase the correct drive, you should be alright HTH

Gracias ... I myself was wondering this

Gracias ... I myself was wondering this

Incompatibility in doing what? What does the NT server run? Is it a file/print server as well? Is it a backend to a RDMS system with the client residing on the XP machines as well as the 98 machines? What database application is causing these issues ... Oracle, Sybase, SQL, proprietary? Does your printer server and DB reside on the same NT server, if so have you ..... changed the amount of space given to the print spooler server, moved it to a separate volume, upgraded your print drivers, reapplied service packs? ... just a few that come to mind. These should start putting you towards the right direction

One sentence.... I AM SO THERE THE DAY ITS BEING RELEASED AT BEST BUY!!!!!

Just a quick post about 98 direct tcpip printing.... you will need to download the LPR printing utility from hp.com ... XP home will have it built in natively. I will post more later. ZZZZzzzzzzz time

I would never be able to persuade my superiors into leaving IE for a third party browser .... Image using OWA, in a corporate environment, in "Lite" mode and not "Rich" mode ..... certainly wouldnt be able to get that to pass beyond the drawing board. On the other hand, for a Mac ..... IE is just plain horrible, I generally press Mozilla and Safari (even in Beta) onto the users of that platform. My $0.02

Just a quick note for a 98SE user In my experience with 98, I would recommend installing the Via 4 in 1 drivers ..... After Windows 2000 SP2 and XP, I have ceased to use the 4 in 1 though. HTH

Just a couple of things .... 1. Are you running this environment in a Domain context with the NT4 Server as a domain controller? If so, then XP home is "generally" unable to participate in a domain model. 2. Who has troubles printing? the 98 or XP home machines? 3. Anything in the event logs on either the NT server or the XP Home machines? 4. What machines are displaying this "data corruption" message? 5. Your network staff and your software vendor are both correct. But there are ways around everything .... supported and non-supported by MS. 6. Lots more details about what you wish to accomplish and answers to my questions above are needed so the members in these forums can help you.

Any particular reason you chose ICS over NAT through RRAS? In regards to netmeeting, 1503 and 1720 are for incoming connections, outogoing connections need no reconfiguration. So no, I don't believe they use the same sockets. For MS Messenger ..... I believe you need to open all UDP ports from 5000 to 65000 for non UPNP routers .... (I may be mistaken, I have never implemented this) ... At any rate, here's a link to configure this http://help.microsoft.com/en_us/HelpWind...tguideother.htm There is a white paper to download a few pages beyond the link. HTH [/code]

As always guys, its my pleasure.

But I'm sure the boot screen colour is changeable (as it is black on some of the NT workstations in the uni library I myself am curious about this, as I have not come across this .... sounds like the video driver isnt properly initialized ...... That screen has always been blue for me since SP2 .... pass the word if you come across the answer

My employer is seeking ways to track this on an enterprise level ... if I come across anything for the SOHO user, I will remember to post it here.

1. Open the ports for your VPN, if you use PPTP need to open port 1723 and configure GRE 47 .... I imagine on the Linksys models its just a check box or so through their web interface 2. Configure a VPN server. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/technologies/communications/vpn/default.asp http://www.labmice.net/networking/VPN.htm 3. Configure the VPN client.

How long has it been there? Hours .... Days? The browser service seems to be cachine old data, restart the service on your master browser for the segment causing this issue.

I would like to toss in my own $0.02 on this thread If you ever see the error "insufficent memory" in the middle of a CHKDSK then get out your restore tapes ... NTFS maintains several files, hidden from user access, which contain metadata about the file system -- $MFT and $BitMap are two of the most common, with $MFT being the Master File Table (as APK has so gone over) and $BitMap being the volume bitmap (a representation of which clusters on the disk are being used). CHKDSK has to have write access to the file system it's trying to repair (which is why the system volume has to be checked after a reboot to give CHKDSK access to system files which are normally locked). And one of the conditions of having write access is being able to read and write NTFS metadata properly. So if one or both of these files are damaged to the point where it is not possible to write new clusters to the disk safely, CHKDSK /F will not work and will abort with this misleading-sounding error. EDIT Duhmez is correct, the MFT is spread across logical volumes

Mr G No I dont believe there is a way to keep the cache from being flushed when the service is restarted / machine is rebooted .... this is why I recommended a server specifically doing cache only DNS. HTH

There are numerous freeware/shareware applications to create your own screensavers. www.download.com www.tucows.com The above are just 2 places to search for those applications. Doesnt XP have a SlideShow Screensaver for those picts in the My Pictures folder? On a Mac now, so I cant check

Sounds like you wish to configure your DNS box for a caching only server. I would setup an additional box just for DNS as when you reboot the server, this will flush cache. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/...gOnlyServer.htm Log files can be found can be found in %systemroot%\system32\Dns\Log\dns.log and what is audited can be configured through the DNS Snapin server properties ..... I dont have a 2003 box handy at the amount, so correct me if I am wrong. Have you seen this page for 2003 DNS Best Practices? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treevie...ver/default.asp HTH

If your organization needs to block their users from using Windows Update to update Windows components, you can use the following registry hack for Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows XP : Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate Name: DisableWindowsUpdateAccess Type: REG_DWORD Value: 1 Equivalent is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer DWORD value NoWindowsUpdate = 1 Another area to lockdown Internet Explorer is with the IEAK. HTH

Any recently installed new drivers? Failed RAM? Does a parallel installation of the OS function normally?

Create your own script/batch file to search for .tmp .chk .log etc through your HD.

Server Options is an area for global configuration, which applies to all scopes unless a specific scope over writes a certain entry. Sounds like name resolution is incorrect ... have you checked WINS and DNS entries ? Hosts files shouldnt be used for your configuration .....
