Thanks much. Where did you grab that quote from? I would like to see the figures it refers to. Edit: Just googled and found the article

I would like to know if their is a program that can keep track of when the computer's time has been changed. Our employees clock their time in and out on a PC and we suspect that a few may be changing the time back to fool the punch clock program. I've tryed "Clock Guard", it locks the clock from being changed but doesn't report attempts. If any of you guys know of a program, or place I can look in windows, I would appreciate the feedback. All of our pc's with the puch in/out software are XP Pro, btw.

In our company we clock in and out using a simple little program on a pc. The time on the "virtual clock" program syncs with the windows system clock. How can i lock the windows clock to where an employee can't just change the time and make his/her own hours. We are having a problem with that at one of our locations.. I have found a few trial programs, but would appreciate any advice to just remove the clock all together or password protect it somehow.

Also make sure your broadband connection is set as the default connection. Or at least your existing dial-up connection is NOT set as the default. (under Network Connections in the Control Panel)

Do the programs you use that look to this mapped drive, originate on the mapped drive? If they do then what I have had to do before is create a shortcut to said program on the desktop(or where ever), and under the shortcuts properties, put the drive letter one space after the target. ie. "O:\Folder\Program.exe O" I have no idea why this makes it work.. but it does in some instances Tell me if i understood your problem right:)

I actually have an update on my situation (for those who might want to play WoW but are stuck with dialup). I connect at 26.4 most of the time and 28.8 on those random special occasions.... Anywayz, I fired up the game yesterday evening and ....... it ran fine. Not a bit of lag. I did have a hell of a time buying something at the auction house, but that was because 40 other people were in there too... I didn't expect dialup to handle the splender of Orgrimmar. I have all my characters on a low pop server anywayz so that should help... yellow/green latency too, only got red latency at Org. Sooo.. yea, hollar at Assassinator and Killswifts, the next time you play WoW (if your on Boulderfist)!! **Horde 4 Life**

Yea.. It may be well documented somewhere, how terrible dial-up connections are with mmorpgs, namely WOW. But I just wanted to see if anyone has actually or does actually play WOW on dial-up. The reason I want to know, is because I'm getting my account un-frozen.. and... I now live in an area that doesnt have ANY high speed internet... Even dial-up connects (on a good day) at 28.8.... Point is... I used to rock cable, but... now, not so much. I would appreciate hearing any feedback or similar stories of misfortune... might make me feel better btw .... WOW's official site says 56k or better.. thats why im curious about good ol' 28.8

Redneck July or February !!??!

Hey, I didn't check it out but www.gamewinners.com is a good place to go. It has every game i've ever looked for. *edit* Um, I just checked it out and it has the very same thing that was posted earlier.. my bad ;)

I had a very similar problem a few weeks ago.. check this out http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...34entry389934 maybe it will help **This one too http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_...erver-2003.html **

\ backslash my bad:(

First make a share on your server called profiles. Then you go to "active directory users and computers" find the user Dean and right click properties and click the profile tab, then under "profile path" put //server/profiles/dean. ("server" being what ever your server's name is. ). This worked for me.. You may have already tried this though **Try getting rid of the "dean" folder in the profiles share.. I think it makes one when you put the path in the active directory**

I'll just get a 7800 GTX and a SLI mobo. I'll buy the other 7800 when I get the money.... And then my friends.. I will be well on my way to a decent pc;)

lol, kewl.. thx man!!

Ahh... Would the single 7800gt perform better than the dual 6600's??

Ive got a motherboard coming in the mail and dual Geforce 6600 GT's. My question is.. If i were to one day buy a XFX GeForce 7800 GT .. Could it replace one of my 6600's, and then I have a 7800 and a 6600 running together.. Is that possible, or was it a stupid question. Thx Thx!!

Curious.. I will look into that.. thx much

The only ones ive tried with have been : Server2k3 to Xp Pro sp2. 1 user allowed only... and I've tried : x64Pro(evaluation) to Xp Pro sp2 1 user only as well... I haven't tried 2 sp2 pc's.

I think its a lost cause. Everything is going fine as a workgroup, I'm just being picky I guess. I thought maybe there was a way to make any/all programs roam.. I do appreciate the help, wanted to make sure I tried everything.. I do have another question though.. Remote desktop connection.. I've got several users using that as a way to connect to my server and use a common program. But, when I try to use RDC to connect to any other pc(other than the server), no one else can log on to that computer.. This may sound stupid but, is that just one more thing a server can do and a client pc cannot, or, is there a hidden setting that I am overlooking. I know my network sounds like a mess, but it works very well actually.

I couldn't get that to work. ( The problem is.. Before I came to work here, the network was set up as a workgroup. With no server. As of now, I set up a server, and a domain, and i have a domain profile for everyone. We have a tiny network (12 users), but they all have to use these certain programs. A workgroup would probably be ideal(which is technically what they operate in now)but, in the event of a replaced/new computer or a new user, I have to kill half a day installing various programs on the new computer.. I just thought if i could take their local/workgroup profile or moreover, the programs used on the profile, and make them roam.. It might save me trouble down the line. Im positive i did everything you suggested right.. It just wouldn't carry over installed programs.. (or at least the ones I need). btw I know of folder redirection...but.. not sure what that would entail. I appreciate the help though... Anymore would be greatly appreciated, as well!!

I made this post earlier.. And decided it may be better suited as a seperate topic.: Is it possible for a computers local profile to be changed to roaming? As of now all of the users in my network log on to their computer locally rather than the domain. I just want them to be able to access their programs on other computers on the network. So far good ol' Remote Desktop has acted as a digital ductape of sorts. btw the server os is Win2003 server and all of the users are using XP Pro. I'm sure this is a noob question... Srry

Nice, I was curious where you went to change those settings!
