LOL...too much, atreyu, too much...

Ditto here; used Nero 5551 for the first time, great stuff. However, I tend to use XP's built-in burning tools, making heavy use of the unreleased PowerToy ISO recorder-one step right-click on any ISO...very slick

asidie; taking it like a man means face-to-face with someone; verbal crap over the 'net mean nothing. anyway, the point of this forum is to solve people's issues, not berate them for questions. feel like making a point of it ? feel free to PM me with details of where you want to meet, we'll have a friendly chat. i'll be at dahlonega,GA,this thursday; i'll travel within a 500 mile radius this coming weekend, if you'd like to take up my offer of that chat regarding any issues you may have. if not, i fully expect you to respond in this forum - i'll take that as a self-admitted lack of follow through. best regards, sgt. chip.s., 75th.ranger btn., mos 18B.

When administering a remote system, it sure is hard to push the reset button...hence the restart script, all you Brainiacs with the attitude towards ahearnb...

Hi, all, With the latest version of Zone Alarm Pro, audio/video conferencing & Remote assisatnce does not want to connect...shutting down Zone Alarm Pro results in an immediate connection...any settings, config. help ? Clutch ? Used to run NPF 2002, no problems there... Am running XP Prof. on a cable connection... TIA No one ?

Almost every few minutes, CPU usage in the task manager goes to 100% & the system freezes up for several seconds...on shutdown, the 'Ending Task' window pops up, trying to end Explorer.exe Any thoughts ? This is on XP Pro build 2600 Corp ;-) TIA...

Control Panel/Folder Options/View, then under the advanced settings, uncheck 'Use Simple file sharing'.

Seems to be a bit faster + more stable than 5.5; helped no doubt by my 4.0MBPs Download/1MBPs Upload connection.

Oops...just edited my earlier post & saved, only to see you'd already replied... Yup, was cranky earlier due to burning problems under XP...but got them all sorted out now. Then, also, without diving into long winded political discussions here on my end, the current events haven't been too helpful; been having long secure discussions with my recent former colleagues.. Take care, friend, Chip

Hear, hear; gotta agree with jaywallen. To answer the original question-Sophos Anti Virus works incredibly well under both Win2000 & WinXP; it is aimed at NT based OSs. You can download a fully functional eval at http://www.sophos.com You can get free e-mail notifications of new viruses & links to download their antidote files, and while each eval copy expires in 90 days, you are prompted to download & install another eval copy (also free & fully functional) to use for the next 90 days. No nag windows or popups, and it's caught viruses which Norton products have missed. Hope this helps. BTW, JPW, how the heck have you been ?! ZA & ZA Pro have about a 50% success rate of loading up on my Latitude C810 running WinXP Pro (legit Dell Preferred Partner copy) So, I run Norton Personal Firewall 2002 on my XP notebooks-not my favorite software vendor, but the firewall works flawlessly under XP...

Anyone tried this with Win2000 Pro ? How's the burning support (does it support Packet writing/Direct CD?) and DVD playback ? Thanks in advance...

Anyone check this out yet ?

1/Display Properties/Appearance/Icon Size, then reduce size one setting.Click 'Apply', then increase icon size by one, click 'OK'. 2/Search/Files or Folders/'C' Drive/named shelliconcache 3/Delete ' shelliconcache ' & reboot. Hope this helps.

I've finally got IIS 5 running sweet & NTFS-tight, thanks to Clutch..after SP2, the current state of IIS apparently does not get updated with the latest xx026 rollover update, unless done manually. Hope that helped.

I've heard that IE5 is better than 5.5...but have no idea why.

Hi all, few questions; 1/ Can I configure separate root directories for each accessing client ? 2/ For FTP only access, should the clients be Users or Guests ? 3/ Any explanations of File/folder permissions & access rights for different users connected to my system would be great...FTP specific would be appreciated. I've used Serv-U & G6; while they're easier for me to configure as far as user access goes, I kinda like the idea of using NTFS to lockdown security... Thanks in advance, Chip.

Thanx; looks like my safest bet is to leave the Default FTP site/settings alone, and create another FTP site to mess with the settings..... Oh yeah, the databases are just regular Access databases with client info (billing, shipping, orders, etc.).

Yes, I have very limited experience in administering a network. I'm basically trying to setup an FTP site for 6 clients to upload/download inventory databases. Gotcha-I'll create 6 user accounts for them on my system. When I created a test account, I selected "other-guests" under user groups. Should I have selected "restricted user" instead since they'll only be reading/writing, via FTP ? I'm re-installing IIS to see if it installs the help file this time.The box I meant is one of those on the same view from FTP site/properties,where "allow only anonymous connections" & "allow anonymous.." are - it's directly below them. Thanx. * Just re-installed IIS - the Help files are all there now; the box I meant was "Allow IIS to control password".

Thanks, clutch; I installed the entire suite, then, when I tried to access help via the FTP site/properties/help, i got a message saying "fsconfig.HLP" was not available; a search produced no results either. Any ideas ? Next, your suggestion re. no anonymous users makes sense-the only people who access my ftp[ site are known, and have Guest accounts (under 'Other'). My directory structure is as follows- 1/ a main folder on a different partition 2/ a subfolder for each user 3/ two subfolders under each user subfolder- a/ downloads b/ uploads A user (Guest) must ONLY read/list from subfolder (a) & ONLY write to subfolder (. Can I delete the "Eveyone" setting for the above folders & subfolders, so only Administrators & System have total access, while each user (Guest) has Read/Write for only their specific subfolders ? Hopefully that should prevent my evn going into the Advanced tab under Security...? 4/ For my FTP site, one Virtual Directory per user (Guest) mapped to their user subfolder (as explained above). Read/Write/Log checked on each Virtual Directory. 5/ My FTP site's root folder is the default inetpub/ftproot with Read/Log checked (it's completely empty, + I don't want anyone to write to it) 6/ I plan to uncheck both 'Anonymous' boxes on my Site Properties; what about the 'allow IIS secure password/encryption/authentication' box ? 7/ Lastly,if I keep the lower 'anonymous' box checked under FTP site properties, do I actually have to create different Guests in Control Panel-Users & passwords, or since I have different Virtual Directories with the same names as the FTP users, they would all log on using the FTP site's built-in Guest account ? None of my users will be local/log in to my actual system, just via FTP. I apologize for these long-winded questions... Thanx, Chip.

Couple more things; 1/ I'd like to install the FTP server by itself; I don't really have to install the Web Server component as well, do I ? 2/ Installing the Web Server component in IIS install results in yet another tab under File/Folder properties-'Web Sharing'. 3/ I don't have to enable Web Sharing or even regular sharing, right ? What I'm trying to do is set up different folders for different users who will ONLY access my system via FTP. All the users are known/trusted, so I don't really need any anonymous logins. Should I completely stop anonymous logins ? Thanks...
