Drivers have always been the weak point - that's why Microsoft is pushing the whole signed/certified driver business. Of course if you just click past the unsigned driver warning, you're putting yourself at risk of using a driver that will bring down the system!

I'm probably missing something here, but if you just go into the Display control panel and go through each resolution and color depth and set a refresh rate for it, Windows will automatically use the refresh rate you set for each one the next time it's used. Just go into the panel, choose a resolution, then go to Advanced and (assuming you have the right monitor selected), go to the Monitor page and set the refresh rate - and so on.

GRRR Also, one last thing, if I check both a modem and the iVasion PoET adapter, it will autodial and connect, but of course it will get stuck on the modem and say that one or more additional lines did not connect. So it can autodial through the PoET adapter, it just doesn't "want" to unless a modem is there with it. Does any have ANY ideas? Thanks

Just as an extra note, I tested the on-demand dialling a bit more and found that it doesn't have a problem dailling a modem dial-up connection when needed by a client, but it does have a problem 'dialling' via my DSL modem. My DSL provider uses PPPoE which requires a pseudo-dial to start the connection. In Dial-up Networking, it looks pretty much the same as a modem dial-up, only the device selected is an iVasion PoET adapter instead of a modem and the phone number is just 111-1111. I don't understand why it would have a problem initiating a dial on demand with this instead of a modem.

In case you don't like the Administrative Tools given in the control panel (I happen to love this new layout), you can get User Manager for Domains off of the Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit CD (and I'm sure the Server Resource Kit CD as well). That is, if you can't get it off an NT4 server.

Has anyone had problems with getting Win2k Professional to autodial on demand with ICS? I set up my connection and then set it to be shared. I noticed the Dial on demand option on the sharing screen and checked that, but when clients try to access the Internet, ICS does not autodial. If I dial manually, they can access the net fine. I thought that perhaps my connection needed to be set as the default in the Internet Options control panel, so I did that and said to always dial my default connection, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
