    Hello everyone, This is more of an annoyance than a serious problem. I installed W2K Pro on a workstation that is connected to the internet through the Linksys EtherFast router (which is connected via cable modem; works FLAWLESSLY). The connection works, but after first starting up the machine, it keeps telling me that I'm not connected, Work Offline or Try Again. If I keep forcing Try Again one or two times, it'll get through and everything is fine from then on, but how can I get rid of this bugger altogether? If I want to run some self-starting services like FTP or web on here, I don't want to have to sit around and force the connection everytime I restart. ------------------ blur

    Best DSL/Cable router?

    Blur replied to farphle's topic in Networking

    I second that. I use the Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router (BEFSR41, with the 4-port 10/100 Switch) as well and it's been just great. Simplistic to setup, easy to manage, cheap, low power; what more could you ask for? (ok, a lot, but it is a very good product) ------------------ -- blur

    Direct CD?

    Blur replied to Mark W's topic in Software

    This issue caused me real problems the other day (which was my first time installing W2K on a computer with a CD-RW drive). Thanks for the info on the incompatibility. And to further discussion, I have successfully installed DirectC v3.01c *AND* Windows Media Player 7 on the computer I was having problems with. How? Instead of uninstalling all of WMP7, I chose the Custom setting to choose what I wanted to remove. The only thing I uninstalled was WMP's Adaptec CD burning plug-in (which is undoubtedly the culprit here). After that I installed EZCD4, then DirectCD v3. A few reboots later, no complaint from DCD and the computer still recognizes my CD-RW and DVD drives (which had disappeared in the previous installation because of this problem). While I haven't done any actual functionality testing yet, at least the original problems have disappeared and they look to be coexisting. I'll keep you informed. ------------------ -- blur
