Hey I have 2 computers in my home network, one pc is a winXPpro+sp2, the other is a win2k3 machine on the win2k3 machine I've created a NFS share, using fs.msc.... The problem is that I'm unable to connect to this share from the winXP machine.... well, if I turn off firewall on both machines I'm able to connect, so I guess it is a firewall issue win2k3 machine is domain controller in this network, Active Directory installed These are the ports I've opened on Windows FireWall in both machines: 111 - both TCP and UDP 1039 - both TCP and UDP 1047 - both TCP and UDP 1048 - both TCP and UDP 2049 - both TCP and UDP Haven't enabled the "File and printer …

Windows XP and Solimar XIamge not getting along.
by Guest j2- 0 replies

Greetings Windows XP Support folks! We have a document imaging process wherein i create a file in InDesign, print through the XImage driver, create a file and pass off to our printer. About a month ago we started getting errors in the final print: pieces were missing, sometimes we'd get blank pages, sometimes just pieces of pieces would be missing. After a long month of e-mail troubleshooting with XImage support to no avail, I was told that the problem could be with Windows GDI. THe folks at XImage support have exhausted their usefulness so I thought I'd poke around over here. Any ideas on why the XImage driver would stop working suddenly with Windows…

The original repair install failed. So I tried again but the Install cannot see the original Windows install. So I tried the repair console(recovery console?)which does see the Windows directory, but does not ask for the password. Since then I have done a complete parallel install. The files look ok on the original Windows, but obviously something is wrong. If I try to let the original repair install run it crashes, putting up a blue screen the disappears before I can read…

Force "Safely remove hardware"?
by Guest Noozer- 16 replies
- 136 views
About 75% of the time, the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon tells me that I cannot remove my USB drives. No programs are open, so nothing should be accessing the drive. I wait a while (sometimes 30 minutes or more) and still I cannot safely remove the drive. This happens on a number of different drives. I've tried using a process viewer to see what is accessing the drive, but haven't had much luck. Is there any way I can force the safely remove hardware icon to shut down a device? Windows has no problem shutting the device down when I shutdown Windows, so why can't I get it the shutdown the device when asked? Windows XP Pro with SP2 and all recent upda…
