I need an constant and fast search access within an archive of 250 GB of files

Hello everyone, Here a have a quest that can't find the perfect solution for a half year now. I have one machine at office and one at home, both Windows XP SP3, ADSL connection with static IP. On the office machine a have an archive of about 250 GB of files. When i am at home sometimes i need to connect to my office machine, search through those files, maybe preview some, and then download some needed files to my home machine, using a download queue feature is possible. The task doesn't seem so complicated, yet, i did not find a perfect simple solution so far. Solutions that i tried already, and don't need suggestion on: Radmin UltraVNC TeamViewer p300 DC++ and many variations of it. Note: am not allowed, and don't want to install any kind or sort of server application on office machine. So considering all these factors, does anyone have even an idea what solution would be fine for me? Thank you.

Thank you. What i want its something like these online services: http://www.uptrends.com/aspx/free-website-server-network-monitoring-tool.aspx http://www.site24x7.com/check-website-availability.html Only that i want a bit more sophisticated application that could be installed on my machine, instead of an online service subscription.

Hello everyone, I am on Windows XP, and looking for an application that could be used to check my website availability from cities / countries around the world. Many times it happens that for some reason my website is unavailable from some cities of India, or Russia, or for example isn't available via some internet providers in my own country. So i thought there could be some sort of professional program like that, that could be flexible used to verify website availability from different cities / countries / internet services providers. Any good suggestions around? Big thank you in advance. Regards,

Thank you for reply 5eraph, I'll try experimenting with the QoS option.

Hello everyone, I am on Windows XP SP2 and I have a regular ADSL connection with 10 Mbit download and 1 Mbit upload. I have noticed a strange thing, whenever i am uploading something using full 1 Mbit speed, it becomes impossible to continue using internet and browse web pages, sites are loading very slow. Seems like the bandwidth used for uploading somehow affects the download bandwidth, bit i don't get how is one connected to the other? May be there is some wrong setting in my modem? Has anyone encountered an issue like that? Is there a solution? Thank you.

Thanks guys.

Great dummies guide, thanks Actually i know all this. My problems is that during reboot check disk can't run because something is automatically canceling it.

Hello, I am on Windows XP SP2. Windows has scheduled a chkdsk at system boot, but something is canceling it automatically. Every time I restart Windows, it tries to run a chkdsk but never succeed because it is being automatically cancelled. Windows says it better to run it and no matter how many times I try to schedule it, it is being cancelled. Is there a way to find what’s canceling it and how to make sure it runs? Where is the file that contains chkdsk command anyway? Thanks.

Thanks for Driver-Cleaner, but unfortunately the program is for ATI and nVidia drivers, while my network card is Realtek.

Actually I've been asking around how to make sure that i have COMPLITELY removed any drivers that relates to network card and no result yet. Can you help me? After physically removing network card I want to make sure that i removed completely from system any file or data that relates in some way to it, and install it again.

Sorry, but i think its not going to solve because its actually more weird than what i described above. Even when computer network is fine, any time i simply plug out the network cable i get same BSOD. Its very very strange. I have never seen such.

Hello, I have run into a problem and can’t figure out its network card or video card, its software of hardware. When I start computer network connection is fine. When I send computer to hibernate and bring it back from hibernate soon enough network its still fine. But, if I send computer to hibernate, go home, come back in the morning, bring computer back from hibernate network connection is dead. No Internet, or anything. My computer sends no Packets. If being in this state I go and simply plug out network cable I get BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP: 0x0000000D1 (0xFFFFFFE9, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0xF827DA64) NDIS.SYS – address F827DA64 base at F8263000, datestamp 41107ec3 Solution tried: Reinstall network card Reinstall video card ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset netsh winsock reset catalog netsh interface ip reset C:\DAF-interface-resetlog.txt netsh interface reset all netsh firewall reset Windows Repair Nothing helped. I desperately need help as I fight this trouble for couple months. Thanks much.

Hello everybody, For certain performance reasons I HAVE to move back to from IE7 to IE. I am actually mostly using Firefox, but yet, whenever I use IE6 I want it to be at least as 50% safe as IE7. Especially I want to find a way to block drive-by installs when navigating infected websites. Is there a way to configure IE6 in such way that nothing gets installed from browser, or no script will automatically run and install till I give IE6 permission to do that? Is it possible at all to make IE6 safe? Any info or links for good articles are deeply appreciated. Regards.

Hello everyone, I would need some help in solving an irregular question. I have a NGO organization that use 5 computers and I am looking to buy 5 licenses for Windows XP SP2 and 5 licenses for Microsoft Office 2000. I would like to mention that I got no interest in other versions of Windows and Office, and no interest in Open Source software or free alternatives. I’ve been digging around www.microsoft.com but did not find a clear answer where could I buy these packages. I am disparate to urgently buy these products wherever they are sold, but it must be real licensed software. Could anyone help me with links or addresses to some trusted shops/dealers with good prices or anything? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

Hello, I am on Windows XP SP2 Pro, and I have a question regrading some security and access restricting software. I need a utility that will provide me the possibility to manage and restrict access for various Windows users to certain installed programs and Windows OS security features/options. But i don't want to have that utility running in the system tray or background all the time, eating system resources. I just want to be able to use it for restricting purposes when I need, and then close it and forget about it, so that security changes or registry tweaks will remain active even if this program is exited. Its probably something that deal with Windows built in Group Policy - User Configuration or Local Security Settings applets. Does anyone know a program like that? Thanks a lot in advance. Regards.

Thanks for helping hand everyone. After all i managed to solve the issue using Dial-a-fix tool. Regards.

Thanks for advices. IcemanND's solution did not help. By the way, I would like to mention that the problem occurs only on partition C while partition E is fine.

Hello, I have problems with CD/DVD ROM. Normally it was able to read any CD/DVD before when I had Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. Now after I reinstalled the OS and decided to go with Windows XP Media Center Edition, my optical drive can’t read any of multi-session CD or DVD, thus crashing Windows to “Blue Screen of Death” every time I place in a multi-session CD or DVD. Besides, even if it sometimes accepts a multi-session CD or DVD, still it can display only the last session burned, so I have to access other previous sessions via tools like IsoBuster. Other than that it can read fine any burned CD or DVD. I would like some help from any of you with the drivers or anything. System specifications are: Laptop: Acer TravelMate 290 Optical Drive: QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242, DVD:8x, CD:24x/10x/24x OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 Media Center Edition Thanks a lot in advance!
