Do you have your original 3Dfx CD? If so get the drivers off there. If not I'm sure someone has a CD with the drivers on them. I'll check when I get back from work.

My experience with Netgear has been great. FA310TX NIC that has been going stable and fast for over a year now. Linksys isn't the greatest but this FA310TX will be my "budget" (25 bucks) card for now. I tried a Linksys Cable/DSL Router and something didn't work quite right and I got mad ping spikes in Counter-Strike, am using a dedicated server machine w/ Win2k Server Routing and Remote Access (NAT) now to share internet.

The readme refers to the HPT BIOS and not the driver version. Only 1.28b will work with IBM drivers in the OS. As for speed, can't tell ya cause I've never used them.

Updated to latest HL version? Original and older versions don't work in Win2k.

Yes because there are incompatibilities with IBM Deskstar drives and HPT366 v 1.25. Goto www.highpoint-tech.com and download the 1.28 BETA drivers.

Check your share settings, that could be limiting the number of people.

You can make a Win2k CD with SP2 integrated on the CD. Search the forums and find the numerous posts.

Uhhhh dude something must be messed up with your config because I'm running a BE6 w/ latest BIOS and latest official HPT366 drivers and NO problems at all. What harddrive you using grim?

I'm using a Western Digital UDMA66 45GB and a Maxtor 15GB UDMA100 and all works good. The BETA drivers only fix incompatibilities with IBM Deskstar drives.

I'm using the 1.25 HPT366 drivers and I haven't had any problems with speed. I'm running an original BE6 so maybe something in the BE6-2 was changed.

When using NTFS securities, if a user isn't specified is it assumed that the user has no rights?

That's what I figured but I was just making sure. Thanks DosFreak

No I'm talking about securities on the drive that is using NTFS. i.e. if I have multiple users setup on my computer and only give specific access to me and no one else is defined and the Everyone security is gone will the other users have rights or is it assumed that if they aren't listed they don't have rights?

Using NTFS? Check the security settings if you are.

F6 loads SCSI drivers. I think it is F2.

Supposedly the Hercules Game Theatre XP or whatever is a nice card, has a box you hook up where your connections are made, it's pretty cool from the reviews I've ever. Even has Dolby Digital 5.1 support I believe.

I need some more help w/ PERL. This time I don't know exactly what to do (I'm a newbie in PERL). What I want to do is search through a file and if the content of a variable is present then redirect to a page saying yuo've already registered, and then if it doesn't exist it writes info to the file and redirects to a different page.

I used a little different method but it still works Code: open(FILE,"../www/roster_info/roster.txt");$exists++ if grep(/$name/i,(<FILE>));close(FILE);if ($exists) {print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<"EOF";<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.reservoirdogs.net/roster_info/already.shtml">EOF} else { After the else I have the original contents of the script so it checks first, then it decides whether or not to actually register you (this is for a LAN party registration). *EDIT* Got the other part I needed done.

Partition Magic is a GREAT utility in many cases, however I have found out there are somethings it isn't so great for. One is converting NTFS to FAT32. I've tried that a few times and it seems to always go wrong. Second is handling large drives. It seems that I could resize my 32GB partition once and then every other time it would give me errors, which means I have to try to back everything up (18GB or so) and then delete the partition and then recreate one. Also when I selected NTFS for filesystem and had to use Easy Recovery Pro later on, Easy Recovery couldn't tell the filesystem on my big drive but the other two, which were done by Win2k setup and Win2k format, were detected nicely.

Additional drivers aren't needed. Just share the printer and then install the Windows 98 printer drivers on the Windows 98 machine.

I'm sure a batch file could easily clean out your Temp folder, Temporary Internet files, History, and such. It all depends on where the things are located, the permissions and your DOS skills.

Logitech drivers suck totally. The default windows drivers allow both button push downs. I have done tests using default Win2k drivers, Mouseware 9.00, Mouseware 9.24 and Mouseware 9.28 and only the default Win2k drivers work good. This is for my USB Logitech Optical Scroll Mouse. Make sure you install Logitech mouse drivers but the ones that MS provides.

Can I reset the security of a directory so I can gain access? I set security on a directory using specific usernames and then I reinstalled last night cause of driver problems so now I have the same usernames (i.e. Administrator, OAP, etc.) yet I still don't have access. I need to be able to reset the security so I can gain access. I've tried all administrator accounts and they still don't work.

Well I got it reset and all is good now. A very useful command is CACLS, which can add access rights in Safe Mode.

Oh it finally does work. Here's what I did to get it to work. I had to reinstall Win2k fresh, went to Windows Update got the latest Compatiblity Update. Then installed Rainbow Six and updated to 1.04. I made a shortcut to it and went to the Compatibility tab and said use the Windows 98 layer. I tried the shortcut with no registry modifications and it loaded right up and I could play. It was great.
