eyeball

also do you have any yellow question marks in device manager? thanks

that didnt make a whole lot of sense to be honest, are you saying you want to be able to access the language settings and can no longer do this? thanks

did you use this on your acuall WINNT directory? if you could eplain exactly the steps you took we can try to help thanks

if the computer you want to access from the outside world is 192.168.1.3 for example then look in your router config and forward traffic destined for port 3389 to 192.168.1.3 and remote desktop should work as for the ip you actually use to connect to your home network put in your external ip (if you dont know it go to www.showmyip.com) thanks hope it helps

fantastic thank you EDIT: also thank you very much GSM that script helped me with another thing (pressing f10 to reach the menus) i knew there was a button but couldnt remember it! thanks again

ah, thanks cluberti il keep an eye out for that book

thank you that list will be very helpful indeed! if someone could tell me if its possible to send alt + tab simultaeously that would be great thank you

what if all the users had a shortcut on their desktop to this file? i presume that as long as they have read/write permissions they would be able to view it and save it, i dont have a server setup atm otherwise i would test this, if you do manage to do it please let us know thanks

hi all just experimenting with vbs scripting and i have been using the WshShell.SendKeys command for things like enter and tab but i was wondering what is the key called that functions as right click? or does anyone have a list of the key names? thanks EDIT: does anyone know how to send 2 keys? e.g alt and tab? at the same time thanks again

hi all, i have a problem with the outlook rules wizard i can create a rule fine and if i select "run now" it runs perfectly and does what i want, however is there a way to automate the running of this rule? if so please let me know, i have googled it and found nothing thanks for any input on this

neither, i use CA E-Trust antivirus and my hardware firewall, what a great combo, lol however given the choice.....id have to say mcafee, iv tried both mcafee + norton and norton is just really really slow

do you mean prevent them from dragging a copy from the network to their local machine? and what is your current setup?

i noticed after installing sp1 my windows was crappy.. a few fixes later it was great same with service pack 2, install it and update fully and i believe that you will have the best most stable windows there is providing your hardware is up to it of course

have you tried reinstalling media player 10?

thanks, its funny you should mention bold-fortune, i stumbled across it for the first time about 10 minutes ago lol

thanks ill use the ctfmon one dont need that

cool pawan, what are these dlls for? and how did you know it was safe to unregister them? thanks EDIT: i found this http://www.teamcti.com/pview/ at first glance it does seem quite useful check it out, its only a small download

hi all, you know the command regsvr32 can remove dlls that you dont need? well does anyone know a command that displays a list of dlls that are available for removal? so that i can remove ones that i dont need thank you

dont worry about this iv found it i overlooked an option called "update classifications", it lets you specifiy what to download, one of the things being service packs lol thanks anyway

hi all iv read many articles on the net about this, they all mention bandwith throttling through BITS but none actually mention how to deploy the service packs. atm i have a win2k wsus server setup, deploying hotfixes with no problems, i have a windows xp test machine with service pack 1 on it, and wish to deploy service pack 2 to it. i have downloaded sp2 but need a bit of guidance as to what to do next could anyone help me please? thank you

personally i would run both with wep, turn of the SSID broadcast, enable MAC filtering and use static address, i really cant see anyone being able to get through that without pure determination

if i remember correctly when you enable ICS it gives the computer acting as the gateway 192.168.1.1 so if you could change the ip of the router to 192.168.1.2 and give the other pcs static address i dont see why it wouldnt work although you will have to tell the laptop that its a computer to computer network (i.e Ad-hoc) as someone mentioned earlier, or maybe the laptop will see the usb as an access point.. who knows? let us know how you get on with this good luck

ok assuming you have a bit of knowledge on DNS here goes.. primary lookup zone would be were a server would look for the A records that map a clients host name to its ip address. it would be used if you were in an enterprise situation and you wanted to access your exchange server for example and its host name is "exchange2k3" if you opened up remote desktop and typed in "exchange2k3" the query would go to the dns server which would look in its forward lookup zone for the A record that maps that name to whatever ip it is and connect u to the exchange server reverse is the opposite and is used to ip address to names using PTR records, the point of this being (mainly on the net) to verify senders of emails (ie you recieve a mail and the hostname it claims to be from has a reverse lookup done on it and if the ip is the same as what it came from then you know it legitimate) honestly mate DNS is simple to understand what its doing, but when it comes to how its doing it it can be really mind boggling, if you can get at a win2k or 2k3 server and check the dns console in that you may get a better understanding but other than that there is a nice 1000 -odd page book by o'reilly on dns it really does get complicated hope this helps, it may not be 100% accurate but at least you get the idea good luck with it

post your cmdlines.txt and your runonce and maybe we can help

its possible that the ip is part of an ISP's subnet and isnt actually being used by one of their customers, you wouldnt be able to ping it but you would be able to tracert it upto the subnet its contained on.. i think either that or that ip is not responding to ICMP packets, hence you not being able to ping it
