Sorry m8. As klasika says restart from the command prompt by typing net start http /y or by using services, Start, Run type services.msc.

I think we need to try and find out why your copt of XP wants to activate when you turn it on. I know you can save two files which will stop the need for activating, thsi site will give you the steps to back up these files: - http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/43-p1.php. I am presuming you have ran a full virus scan and ran adaware/spybot, etc, etc. Are you definately sure that nothing has changed in your system?? Have you tried to restore from the restore CD's that came with the PC?? Backing up all essential data first of course.

Install IIS

Are they all on the same subnet, i.e IP 192.168.0.1-4 SNM 255.255.255.0? In the same workgroup or domain? Can you ping the loopback address? 127.0.0.1

I've been working on this today and here is the answer Download a small, free tool called Telnet Scripting Tool. Actual exe is called TST10.EXE. Create a batch file called e-mail.cmd and enter the following commands tst10.exe /r:script.txt /o:output.txt /m Create a text file called script.txt and enter the following commands Your Mail Server 25 wait " " send "helo your_domain_name\m" wait " " Send "Mail From:Sending_E-Mail_Address\m" wait " " Send "RCPT To:Receiving_E-Mail_Address\m" wait " " send "DATA\m" Wait " " Send "Subject: Test From telnet\mWullie wrote this.\m.\m" wait " " send "Quit\m" Please note that you will need to edit the items in red for this to work. I have attached the relevant files for you to use. Hope this helps Wullie

First and foremost do you have the correct NIC drivers installed on the NT4 Box?? Did you reapply SP6 after you installed the NIC card? If not do so.

You could try using telnet. Script it, i know it can be done.

Didn't think it was what you were looking for m8. Leave it with me and i'll have a dig around

I don't have any experience in doing this but you might want to try this m8 http://www.soft32.com/download_77491.html

Best thing to do is to crack open the case and find out exactly what type of MSI board is in the system. Will make it easier when trying to track down drivers. Let us know

Are you setting it via a GPO on a 2000/3 based network??

Nero won't instal because you have 45 instead of 25. Can't see anything else wrong though. All your apps are in the correct path on the cd??

You could also put a pause at the end of your batch file, read what the error actually is then debug from there. Either that or post your batch files here.

You may want to have a look at this site m8. It'll explain how to create your own cerificates for SSL http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_En...g_OWA_2003.html Message Security in OWA 2003 http://www.petri.co.il/configure_message_s...in_owa_2003.htm I would strongly recommend implementing some sort of security feature on your exchange box before going live with this. If possible set up an exchange 2003 front end server in a DMZ. Have fun.

A rule of thumb that i use is that you buy the best kit that you can afford and will allow upgrading

Does it run properly if you use the Windows Task Scehduler? You may want to point the scheduler to the correct .exe location, something like Program Files, Azureus, azureus.exe and not to the shortcut.

Try setting it as a mchine policy. Do the follwoing to do this: Go to Start, Run and type GPEDIT.MSC Browse to Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. The 9th option down is Clear virtual memory pagefile when system shuts down. Double Click this and select either enabled, it will clear it, or disabled, it won't. Hope this will help

Have you tried to connect to it using the IP address?? Can you ping the IP address?? To test TCP/IP connectivity by using the net view command, open Command Prompt, and then type net view \\ComputerName. The net view command lists the file and print shares of a computer running Windows by establishing a temporary connection. If there are no file or print shares on the specified computer, the net view command displays a "There are no entries in the list" message. If the net view command fails with a "System error 53 has occurred" message, verify that ComputerName is correct, that the computer running Windows is operational, and that all of the gateways (routers) between this computer and the computer running Windows are operational. If the net view command fails with a "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." message, verify that you are logged on using an account that has permission to view the shares on the remote computer. To further troubleshoot this connectivity problem, do the following: Use the ping command to ping ComputerName. If the ping command fails with an "Unable to resolve target system name" message, then ComputerName cannot be resolved to its IP address. Use the net view command and the IP address of the computer running Windows, as follows: net view \\IPAddress If the net view command succeeds, then ComputerName is being resolved to the wrong IP address. If the net view command fails with a "System error 53 has occurred" message, the remote computer might not be running the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks service.

No. I still have pagefile usage in my system, 1GB RAM with 300MB free

Your pageile will be utilised even though you have a huge amount of RAM installed. More info http://www.petri.co.il/pagefile_optimization.htm

How is your network setup?? Where are your DNS servers?? Are they on the same server as ISA??

Go to Microsoft and download a copy of Group Policy Management Console, its free. It is for 2003 server but will work on 2000. This will help you drill down to where the fault occurs

Have a look here m8. You may get some more info than i can provide although some one else may http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...t/wfsp2ngp.mspx

Thank for the hint ... I've locate the problem. It was DNS Suffix Search List that had multiple enteries including net.test.org NET.TEST.ORG and TEST.ORG ... so I configured a GPO (Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/DNS Client/DNS Sufix Search List) to include just my AD domain name, and now everything works just fine ... thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NP m8 glad to have helped

Connect your printer directly to your laptop using the same port, then use your hub for other components.
