XP_2600

Man why DvD rom? why you dont get a DvD rw i got one some monthes ago for something like 45$ it was Pioneer DVR-110D its dual layer and 16x for DvD burning and 40X for CD burning.

I like using netsh but i think in this case we dont need to it, first of all go to your both machines and type ipconfig /release (suppose to get a msg like 0.0.0.0 ), then run this command in both of machines too ipconfig /renew your machines suppose to get a new ip now, in some slight cases you need to clear your address resolution protocol in your machines so you can run this commands it will not make any bad anyway the command is: arp -d (run it in both machines) now ipconfig your machines suppose to find them received IPs from the router DHCP service, next step you have to ping both of machines from each other and ping the router itself if all of them pinged well so we have to move to the next step which is checking the machines if they have firewall enabled then checking the router if it have firewall enabled or not im not sure about your router configuration but if its allowed to be accessed from outside add me to your msn and i could check it for you.

Well, until now i didnt find any feature worth to upgrade my machines to Vista, i have vista runing in a test machine but all what i get is some nice sutff looks alot like Stardock products, no new feature and performance seems sucks even in a new machines, i know that it suppose to be faster in the final code but im still dont think its have a huge improvments or whats force me to upgarde, i know that MS gonna use DirectX 10 as a tool to force people to upgrade to Vista and it will work with gamers who gonna find themselves unable to play the new games in there XP machines, why ?! cause MS dont want to develop DX10 for XP, another why ?! cause they want to sell Vista, thats my opinion until now maybe its change later.

WolfX2 all of them are sooo cooool, nice work man, for me i prefer the last one.

You can use makecab command.

I agree, dont add all the eggs in one basket.

No its not the gateway, the router is the gateway, but the machine offer DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, Live Communications server, SQL, ftp and HTTP.

There is some workarounds for that in some Torrents clients

Machine name. UPDATE: sorry i remember now you can use: net config server /HIDDEN:{YES | NO} Which change the Registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters\Hidden 0 mean show 1 mean hide in case you dont have hidden already create a dowrd value and name it Hidden

Guys, if i enabled Windows Firewall (which come with 2k3 SP1) in a server running DHCP and DNS and Active Directory services, am i need to open all ports for all of these services manually or its open them automatically ?

Can you tell me how please ?

You mean you want to replace explorer.exe with your own shell ? if so you can use group policy to change it.

Is it a $ in the end of the name ?

I have Vista running IIS 7, i want to add a link in a web page to start a specified batch or commands in the server (not in the client machine) any ideas ?

grafx1, i think you better stay with 256/64 Kbs, i didnt notice defference between them just the price , ah btw ahlan ya man

I think it should have an option to enable and disable, something like Data excution prevention, you can enable or disable via a parameter in boot.ini.

Yes TAiN, thanks for correcting me.

For me Gnome looks best. KDE function best.

To be able to set permissions in Windows XP you need to have your partition formatted as NTFS then you have to uncheck: tools> folder options>View> Use simple file sharing (the latest option down)

Guys i need your help, i got Toshiba portege 3480 CT laptop for my boss, he was in harry cause he need to take it in a buisness trip, anyway i got it for him (used for sure) and i didnt test the sound thing he go in his trip and when he back he tried to play audio in it and he notice that there is no sound, i checked it i noticed that there is no sound card detected at all i ran scan for plug and play and so on nothing happend, i checked the bios too and there is no option for a built in sound card enable or disable at all, so what do you think it could be?, and in case its damaged can i get it replaced ? and can i get a usb sound device or something as a solution ? please help.

I AGREE.

7.20 GB (7,731,460,094 bytes) here, im using 32 bit, for me its sucks for an OS to have this size.

Im installing SQL 2000 in several machines, and alot of apps need SP3 to be installed to function well, is there anyway to slipstream SP3 with the SQL installation ?

I think its something possible via using Network Monitor, and a software designed to capture packets and make some statistics, but anyway better than the whole of that why you dont use ISA 2000 Enterprise, if you have permission over all machines in the network, or you can use http://www.bandwidthcontroller.com/, i think TAiN Links have alot of better solutions so, but im just telling about the things which i know .

I think you have to open your range of IPs in Tiny firewall, i mean if you use 172.16.0.1 to 0.254 you can open 172.16.255.55 as a wildcard, i didnt work with tiny firewall pro before, but its a general feature in firewalls.
