Sounds like you're trying to use your laptop as a wireless access point for the rest of your wireless clients, correct? If that's the case, then consider setting the wireless card up as an Ad-Hoc network adapter. You can find it in the advanced options for the card (usually under device manager). From there, it's pretty self-explanatory.

It's there becuase you have UPNP enabled (universal plug-and-play). It's normal behavior if your gateway supports UPNP, and allows you to connect and disconnect. Mine does the same thing...no worries.

I don't know if FAT32 will even support a hard drive that big...

The last I heard, they disabled access to hotmail from MS Outlook (by way of turning off WebDAV)...

He can have mine if he wants it...minus the media inventory, of course (what would he do with the 3187 CD's and DVD's already in the database?) --Kas

Here's the SQL Query I use for the software media library I designed (and still refer to from time to time) ------------------- SELECT DISTINCT Item.CD_ID, Item.App_Name, Item.Version, Item.CD_Key, Item.Vendor_Name, Item.Media_Type, Item.Disk_Number, Item.Disk_Total, Item.App_notes, checkouts.Checked_Out INTO Search_results FROM Item LEFT JOIN checkouts ON Item.CD_ID=checkouts.CD_ID WHERE (((Item.CD_ID) Like Forms!search!cd_id & "*" ) And ((Item.App_Name) Like Forms!search!appname & "*" Or (Item.App_Name)="ISNULL" ) And ((Item.Version) Like Forms!Search!appver & "*" Or (Item.Version)="ISNULL" ) And ((Item.Vendor_Name) Like Forms!Search!Vendor & "*" Or (Item.Vendor_Name)="ISNULL" ) And ((checkouts.Checked_Out)=0 Or (checkouts.Checked_Out) Is Null));" ------------------- Keep in mind that I have a separate table that tracks what media is currently checked-out, and excludes those records from this query. Just remove the join if you don't need that functionality. --Kas

Here's how I worked it out. I created a form with unbound fields (one field per field you want to search on), and structured the query to get the criteria from "Like [Forms]![search]![Criteria1]", etc. then I created another form for the results. The query is a make-table query. You can use a macro to turn warnings off to get rid of the "X records are about to be inserted into table BLAH" dialogs. Set the record source for the results form to the new temporary table you specified for the make-table query. Each time you run the search, the table is deleted and re-created, so you get no duplicate results. To leave criteria out (important!!) leave an asterisk in the field you are NOT searching on, and you can use asterisks as wildcard characters. If you need more help, or an example, I would be happy to help! --Kas

I would tell you to use the built-in mirror RAID function, but you can't use RAID on the system volume. You might try adding a third drive and use it for the system volume, then set the other two up in a RAID configuration. Keep in mind that this operation will delete the contents of both drives, iirc. Alec, where are you?

Windows WILL use a swapfile even if you turn it off. Windows cannot function without a swapfile... I read that somewhere, but I can't find the link anymore.

When you installed Terminal Services, it asks if you want to run it in Application Server mode, or Remote Administration mode. I'll bet you have it set to Remote Administration mode. What you'll need to do is go to Add/Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components. Go to terminal services, uncheck it, then check it again, then click Next, and make sure it's set to Application Server mode. Let us know how it goes!

I get the same error on a freshly-formatted NTFS hard drive...before I install an OS. Maybe that's your problem. Maybe DriveImage 2002 requires a FAT32 file system to function.

I don't know about FireDaemon's uninstaller (never had to uninstall it), but Dameware has to be uninstalled from within the program remotely. For example: I have two computers. Let's call them A and B. The client is push installed on B from A. You would have to open the Dameware Mini remote control from A and click on File, then Remove Service. Kind of difficult, but it makes sense from a remote perspective.

FireDaemon and DameWare are not trojans. Dameware is a Windows NT administration program (http://www.dameware.com). FireDaemon is a program that lets you run any application as a service (http://www.firedaemon.com). If you still want them removed, just follow Alec's directions (he's usually right!), but they are pretty harmless. I use them both here at work on a daily basis.

Since it was in RAID 1, you will not be able to access the data in windows because it is missing the RAID configuration bit (so that it doesn't know how to access the data). You *MIGHT* be able to use Ghost or Knoppix to move the data off the drive, but I haven't ever tried that in the past. Good luck!

Is this disk a part of a software RAID? If so, then you'll have to import all the disks in the RAID then break the array. I think, anyway. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

The MSCONFD file is part of the virus. It sounds like the file was deleted but the pieces that point to it in Windows weren't removed. Go here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.bookmarker.html and see what you can find. Hope this helps! --Kas

I'd like to know about this myself...I'm having the same issue. --Kas

Wow, that's an even better one! I'll have to add it to my list of "gotta have" URL's! Thanks dude! --Kas

Go here: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?corporate=true You should be able to download the individual updates from there. --Kas

Because of the way VPN works, there is no way around this. The whole purpose of VPN is to re-route the traffic to another router, securely using PPTP and/or IPSEC.
