For Internet Sharing, the best product, IMHO, is Sygate. It does a great job, comes with DHCP, port forwarding, firewall and more. You can download a demo at www.sybergen.com

I don't know what services you set to manual, but when I went to tweak3d.net and followed their directions for services to set to manual, my Outlook Express stopped working. I can't remember what service it was. Have you tried re-enabling those services?

I have a home network with 1 Win98 and 2 Win2k machines. One of the Win2k machines is a "server" that just shares my internet connection. My dad needed help with something so I was going to PCAnywhere to his machine to help him. He is on a dialup. Anyway, my connection could never find him. When I tried to ping him from my machine, it kept timing out. If I pinged him from the "server", it would find him ok. When I would do a TRACERT from my machine, it would go through every step ok, till it got to the last hop then time out. I am using Sygate on my server to share my internet connection. And my internet connection on my box is working fine. I can ping everything else, but his dialup box. Any ideas?

Quote: Can you ping anybody else from your workstation? Yes, I can ping Yahoo or Intel, or whatever I want.

Ok, I figure if I am able to ping him, PCAnywhere should work. I still cant figure out why I can't ping him from my machine, but I can ping him from the server. If I do a TRACERT to him from my machine, I will get replies all the way except for the last hop. If I do the same TRACERT on my server, it will take the same hops, but will complete all the way through. BTW, it use to work before. I am not sure what changed. I did add a IP forward rule to Sygate, but have since removed it.

I thought about that, but if I log onto my server, I can ping him just fine.

Can't you have personal folder on a network share somewhere? Then just open the PST file no matter where you are on the network?

Do you have Direct X 8 installed? Does it work for any other games? I have a MS FF Wheel also, and had all sorts of problems till DX8 came out. Now it works great.

Is this Win2k or Win NT?

You don't need to enter any WINS address, just leave it blank. It is only if you have a WINS server running on your network.

Do you get an IP address? Try a free internet service and see if that works. That will tell you if it is your ISP or your modem.

Couple things: Do you have any collisions on your router? Have your tried running Performance Monitor on both machines? Might tell you something.

Sounds like you might have them set up for DHCP. Can you try giving them a static IP?

Can you ping the machines? Can you do a search of Network Neighborhood and see any machines?

So if PC1 is the one he wants the image of, and PC2 is where he wants to put the image. He can make an image to a second hard drive on PC1, then reboot and reconnect to the network and copy the image from PC1 to PC2 and use the burner.

I am not sure about drive image, but can you burn a copy of the image to the local hard drive, then copy it via the network to the 2nd machine?

What kind of tools does everyone use to monitor your webservers? I am looking for a good piece of software to do this. Price is no problem, but it must run on a Windows machine. Does anyone know of any good programs? TIA

I just need to make sure the web site is up. I need a tool that does more than just ping the server, I need to know the page on the site actually is loading.

If it is just start menu items you want go to c:\documents and settings\username and copy the start menu subdirectory to the new user's subdirectory.

Here is the problem. I have an NT4 box running IIS with ftp. If I go to the box and look at a directory, the files all have the correct timestamp. If I go to my Win2k box, and add an FTP site to "My Network Places" and browse the same FTP site. The timestamp shows if being 5 hours behind. Also, if on my Win2k box I use CuteFTP or the command line FTP the date and time are correct. It just happens in the FTP portion of Windows Explorer. Any ideas?

Yes, Win2k can read FAT, FAT32, and NTFS

Why don't you just install Win2k on drive D and leave your data on drive c?

As far as I know there is no ICS in NT 4.0. I use Sygate as my ICS software and it works great. You might want to take a look at that.

Have you thought about using IIS as your web/FTP server?
