Quote: I would like to be able to remotely control the same desktop as what is displayed on the server monitor and as such see the same actions mirrored on each screen (if you see what I mean). That would require a third party application ... PCanywhere, Dameware Utilities, etc ... Terminal Services is not meant to be a true alternative to the desktop/console. Also you can only remote control other TS sessions. If I am mistaken in something, please feel free to jump in.

Didnt know there was just a way to extract and package SPs for all the different versions of IE. I always believed that using IEAK was the best way to customize and build standardized versions of IE.

Event Viewer .... Control Panel / Admin Tools / Event Viewer Any extraneous processes running on your box? TSRs, etc?

T1 connection .... you mean from the CSU/DSU into the switch ? ... if so check to see if you are using a crossover cable.

Event Log?

Quote: easy way to run CAT5 from the den to my room. I wouldnt recommend using 802.11b in a home environment if you and your family have 2.4 ghz phones ... your signal degradation would be strong. 802.11a .... just aint worth it for you environment 802.11g .... ehhhh still no ... Perhaps the most "practical" would be to use external conduit and run the UTP. My $0.02

Outta curiosity Did you pin the speed and duplexing on the NIC?

LOL Thank you Champion_R for correcting my rather "gross" oversight. Man ... I gotta lay off the coffee

Use calcs.exe or xcalcs.exe from the resource kit for win2k ... they are built into winxp example calcs.exe c:\ /t > c:\permissions.txt to pipe it out to a text file. xcalcs and calcs /? for more options and switches HTH

If I understand you correctly .... you wish to modify the permissions of already created hidden shares on a NAS. You can script this through batch files using xcalcs.exe http://www.ss64.com/nt/xcalcs.html

1. Latest Firmware for the linksys? 2. Latest Nic drivers? 3. Any third party firewall software running? Now when you say loses internet connection ... does its DHCP lease die (NACK) and you either get all zeros, or a 169 address. Or does it appear that the actual physical connection dies, possibly indicating a bad port or a bad patch cable. HTH

Quote: Guys, doesn't he need to install a networking client package as well? He may have it in the mix already, but I did not see him mention this... a networking client middleware for DOS, should be on Server Cd's of NT/2k/XP right??) Yeah he does have to install MS client for DOS 3.0 .... i believe that is the latest version http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/dosclien.htm All the files you need are also located on the NT 4 Server CD HTH

If I understand you correctly now, you wish to print to a network print device from a pure dos environment. If that is the case, you will need to log into the domain from DOS, and load some applications such as tinyrfc and on to communicate with the printer. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/pfdocs/1999080407471425?Open&dtype=corp You will also need DOS drivers for your NIC and have them properly configured in autoexec.bat as well as config.sys We use this method to transfer files in DOS using NET USE, hopefully it will work the same for you to print.

net use lpt1 \\newvision_server\2nd_floor_printer /persistent:yes Persistent is for a permanent connection ..... if you dont use the persistent switch, then you lose the connection upon reboot. You should also be able to capture the printer port to lpt1 in the properties of the printer.

Got another "difficulty" that is being faced End users setting up there own "unsecure" access points ... and then tracking down these AP. Setting up a corporate/environment policy helps ....... but still, we have those rogues as well...

Quote: OK, there's a couple of things you need to know about how a system behaves with a file when it's local and when it's on a network. First, when accessing a file, you are *probably* getting around 4-5MB/s in access speed over a decently switched network over an SMB (network neighborhood/NetBIOS share) connection. Now, compare that to a local access of maybe 30MB/s or greater and you can see why accessing the file locally is going to be faster. Now, couple that with a high incidence of acknowledgment frames (a return frame that's around every 4th or 5th frame that says "hey, I got the other frames, send me some more") PLUS file locking mechanisms that have to interact between the client and the server, and you can now see why your access is so slow. This is why you want to use a "real" client/server DB setup (MS SQL, MSDE, Oracle, Progress, PostgreSQL, MySQL, DB2, etc) where the DB is a "living" system that can handle requests and return records on straight IP via data connectors (like ADO, ODBC, JDBC, etc.) which is much faster. Also, the system can be setup to handle queries locally, rather than having the client scour the DB itself of the needed information. As for the deleting question, Explorer is in effect "downloading" all the files in question, and then gives you the prompt asking if you want to delete them. Then, it repeats the process to delete them. This is why it takes so long, and can sometimes time out or have other errors. While it isn't really downloading them, it is itemizing them and during this process it takes about as long as copying it over to the local system. And remember, downloading/deleting a single 300MB file is a LOT faster than downloading/deleting 300MB worth of 1MB files. If thats not hitting the idea home ..... what is ....

What kind of DB ... Access .... SQL ??
