Caching can be adjusted through the Ineternet Services Manager Console, and then right clicking on the site and selecting properties. However, whether or not you are hosting it online has no bearing on my question, as you will still need to run that process to host classic ASP pages. If the process is stalling out, then you could probably start trying to isolate the issue from there. Also, do you have your system all patched up from Windows Update?

I was going to get the hoseless comp by Aeris, but I liked the layout of this one a lot better, plus I didn't need to have a separate compass to fiddle with. Nice comp tho. I have a Nikon CoolPix 800 Digital Camera as well, just didn't think to mention it. Oh, and 2 servers and a second workstation, but I don't really classify them as gadgets. For some reason I forgot to post this little guy too: That's a Spacetec SpaceORB 360 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) controller. I got it with Forsaken when I pre-ordered that bad boy a while ago. Unfortunately, Spacetec was bought out by Labtec and the controller was eventually killed off (they still make the CAD/CAM desktop units that you may have seen elsewhere though, but under another name) Over at Birdman's they have new drivers that will enable most of them to work in Win2K and WinXP.

Have you tried checking your task manager while another machine was hitting your webpages to see if dllhost.exe (ASP hosting process) is spiking really hard during requests? Have you picked up the latest updates from Windows update? Also, when you say "upgraded" did you upgrade from an existing installation or format and install the new OS on the blank partition?

Many of the newer water craft do use both forms of speed measurement, and I never understood the reason to keep around such an old method like that either. However, since aircraft services have been using it as well it's jut another hurdle to overcome. We do have fuses in many things here as well, but they are usually inside the device rather than in a plug (seems like the plug would get fragile rather quickly like that on some devices). Oh well, it looks like we have spun off topic pretty badly. Onward to the point again...

If you would like, you can send the images to me and I can host them for a bit. I will then send you a properly formed link back so you can post it again. clutch@nospamdriventechnologies.com Since I can't remember if Philipp has some sort of anti-mail address grabber setup here, just remove "nospam" from the address.

Here ya go, here's a guy with too much time on his hands (like some of us): http://www.travel-library.com/general/driving/drive_which_side.html

Umm, well, as a US citizen I feel it is my duty to defend our nation against these false accusations that have been made : 1. I SCUBA dive, and my mom and stepfather were in the Navy, and I can't recall hearing the term "fathom" much. I wouldn't say that it's *completely* out of use (some fossil has to be using it, right?), but general measurments have been either feet or meters for depth, and knots for speed. 2. I don't know about UK plugs, but ours seem pretty tough. Then again, I haven't broken one nor have I had a need to break one. Also, every building that I can remember has had at *least* a central fuse box (buildings [censored] back to the late 1800's that were wired by Edison personally ), but usually have breakers. 3. I'm not sure either way on the driving thing, but I am sure that we (the US) could have found better things to be different on just for the sake of being different. However, I am interested in hearing what the logical reason for being on the left-hand side of the road would be. For some reason, I thought I had heard that as well once. Some of the others were just so wacky that I didn't know what to make of them (like wall-to-wall carpet in the bathroom ). But I do have one question; what do you mean by a "TV license"? As in a license to own and operate one?

I can't remember, I haven't had a need to get firmware from them in a long time, and I don't know of any place that would archive the older firmware versions either.

That's a known issue with the firmware updates for the Linksys router that enabled UPnP. The beta testers even had the issue and reported it, but Linksys wanted to get the UPnP function out to the public. I would imagine that a newer release should be out very shortly to address this, if it isn't on their site already.

The only reason why I can think of for not doing that would be to make sure it ran just once at a specific time (rather than possibly being in a loop if a client was mis-reporting its completion status). In this manner, it would simply mean "run once on Friday 03/22/02 at 0500" and all the machines would know to run it at this time.

Do the logs have anything to say about this? Have you tried not having the clients use WINS at all to see if that would speed up your browsing? You could have a corrupt WINS database if browsing is faster when the WINS-hosting server is offline.

It looks like you will still have to use the scheduler to make this work out. However, what you can do is just make it a one time scan, and then update the date/time whenever you want to use it again. I have done similar things with SMS, and it works fine. Just title the task "One time update" or something similar, and that will help you keep it separated from your normally scheduled DAT updates.

Well, I have done worse to get something working . I'm not sure if this would work, but have you gone to Windows Update lately? There is an update regarding that issue (system recovering from error prompt at boot time), and there might be some other issues as well that could be helped out with some of the updates.

Try this, bring up the task manager, and then select "Applications". Next, select "New Task" and type "explorer.exe" and see if this brings up the shell manually.

I can recommend both www.crucial.com and www.mushkin.com for memory needs, and http://www.coast2coastaz.com/ for software. They occasionally have some incredible pricing on software (we got MS SQL Server 2K Enterprise Ed, 1 CPU License) for about $13,000US cheaper than what our regular vendor would sell it to us for.

I am using 1.40.2, if that's any help.

As three mentioned, did they ask about your NIC MAC? If so, you can enter that into your router and it will show that number as your MAC to your ISP so it will think your machine is directly connected. That's the first thing I can think of.

When logging onto a domain/workgroup resource, you will be using NetBIOS traffic in most cases (unless using AD with DDNS and DS clients). WINS handles this far more efficiently than simply broadcasting using NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and trying to get reliable information from the local browse master can be problematic on even the smallest of networks, especially when mixing 9x with NT systems. WINS allows for the clients to register their respective names, IPs, and resource status along with other information and provides a central source for name and resource resolution in return (what printers are available? who is the PDC?). DNS does not provide for any of this, (DDNS does, but that's a function of AD which isn't the issue here) as it is static environment and the names have to be mapped manually, and you can't map the resource status of the unit (PDC? Printer?) in that database either. As a matter of fact, one of the most stable NT-based name resolution systems is a combination of both DNS (NT4) and WINS, where DNS can perform reverse lookups on names that it can't find in its own DB. In that case, any clients using DHCP can be found using a FQDN on the LAN. This was the first form of DDNS, if you will.

I haven't checked yet, but here is what I got from a brief check at Technet: http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q276472& This speaks of where it *should* be on the Win2K CD: Quote: Note : The Windows 95 and Windows 98 Directory Services Client package is included on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM in the Clients\Win9x\Dsclient.exe file.

Moved to Win9x forum since that is the OS being used.

I had started one a while back asking for good ones, but fortunately nobody had been burned in a while. Maybe there's a way to make a sticky post here. I'll take a peek around... edit Tis stuck now /edit

Go to %windir%\system32\drivers\etc and open the "hosts" file in notepad. Then, just put in the domain names that you want to "block" and the IP that you want the requests to go to (like 127.0.0.1). The hosts file will be scanned first before your DNS servers, so anything listed on here will be resolved from this file rather than an outside source. To test this, enter your domain name and IP that you want to block, and then bring up the command prompt. From there, type "ipconfig /flushdns" and that will flush out any DNS mappings that are already in the localhost. Then, ping the domain name that you listed.

Did you check your event logs?

Fine with me as well on my 2.4GHz, 1.1GHz, and 733MHz boxes (all Intel). Have you checked your task manager to see what process(es) is sucking up all your CPU cycles?

Damn, I seem to be missing quite a few posts lately... I have something that *should* work, so here's what I will give you: 1. Make a script file (.bat in this case as I still love batch files), and put the following in it without the quotes: Code: rundll32 printui,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\<servername>\<sharename> Replace the <servername> and <sharename> values with yours, of course . 2. Next, go to the OU for your students as CatDog was suggesting, and what I haven't tried yet (will try tonight) is go into the group policy assigned to it, and then browse to the user config as shown below and add this batch file to it. I would probably copy this file to the NETLOGON share as it will be replicated (in theory, to those who have seen otherwise :cool to your other DCs. If I find any other issues, I will post them here. But, this should do it. Since you are speaking of using AD everywhere, I am under the assumption that you are using Windows 2000 or better (this was tested on XP Pro clients connecting to Win2K servers), but this *should* work on Windows NT and 98SE+ (I think). Here are a couple of the sources where I got my info: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/print_...s=SMS+Installer http://www.myitforum.com/articles/print_...;s=VB+Scripting http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q234270 HTH
