FAT64

Ixion, matey boy, I think you might be right (about my ISP not relaying port 25) - no-one likes a Smart Alec! I will get my domain hosted elsewhere, where there are no restrictions.

Another issue which has just occured to me is... If I have separate Web and Exchange servers, port 80 requests will be directed to the Web server and port 25 requests will be directed to the Exchange server, but what if want to access my emails via a browser?? Can a Web server redirect "mail.domain.name/exchange" requests to the Exchange server? Maybe a Proxy server can?

You presume correctly, ixion. Well, I tried the "telnet" test and externally it failed. I can't believe that my router forwards web and ftp packets correctly and not smtp packets.

Whereabouts in Exchange System Manager do I perform this?

Trying to setup an Exchange 2000 Server, mostly went without too much trouble. However, I am unable to receive emails, I can send OK. The DNS/MX records are with my ISP and are working. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should check?? Thanks.

Install from a boot CD and format your hard drive with NTFS.

We're on 2Mb with NTL, although their upload speed is pants, however accoring to th IT grapevine NTL are going to upgrade 2Mb to 10Mb for FREE!

Hate it with a passion!

Don't choose to repair at the first screen, continue as though you were going to install for the first time, then it will discover that Windows is already installed and ask you then if you wish to repair it.

1) Are they all part of the same workgroup? 2) Any firewalls in the way anywhere? 3) Any duplicate computer names?

You're not on your own, kelsenellenelvian, I don't see anything either.

I'll give it a bash, Stoic. Thanks.

This will be within a Windows 2000 active directory domain.

It might be a bit more helpful as to state where in Group Policy this restriction is, because I have searched high and low with no success.

Does anyone know how to disable or, better still, remove the Options button from the XP/2000 logon window?

Acronis - by far!

It is possible to create a boot CD (usually based on Linux) which can reset Admin passwords in case of issues like yours. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm I just did a Google serch for "NT password recovery"

If the product is reasonably priced and actually works! then I don't mind paying.

I wasn't aware they even had to be the same capacity, it's just that you'll only have the equivalent of the smaller capacity hard drive in the mirror set.

Create Windows 2000 boot floppies (4) using the utility on the CD. (D:\BOOTDISK\MAKEBT32.EXE).

Do you have FireWalls installed on either of the two computers?

It's certainly true that you cannot format the drive you boot to, but you most certainly can format any drive when you boot from CD. Is your BIOS setup to boot from CD first?

What's stopping you from formatting your drive?
