No dial-tone in system startup
by Guest Luc Henrot- 0 replies

I have a dial-up ISDN connection (Speedtouch modem). When starting up the system my modem initialises, and after some seconds, starts to flikker its right LED. Then comes the user-login, which I enter as an administrator. My modem goes on flikkering, but when I ask to start the dial-up, is says: "no dial tone". When I wait a twenty minutes, it all stops by itselves flikkering and returns into a stable LED. Starting up the dial-up is OK, I don't have any troubles the long of the session. I suspect that there is a program, routine (no virus I hope) that executes 'something' and waits for a reply or something else. As it happens before the user-login, I cann…

Need to remove web access from some users
by Guest Fritz- 4 replies
- 272 views
A customer of mine is having an issue with employees abusing web access on two specific systems in the building. I don't want to remove the default gateway from the TCP/IP since that takes out the system's internet connectivity altogether so instead I thought of removing execute permissions from iexplore.exe and firefox.exe for users w/o admin privilege. Is this a good way to handle the problem? If not, what do you recommend? Thanks!

My OS is Windows XP service pack 2. The computer is Dell 4700c. I had been having a problem connecting to the net. I contacted my isp who directed me to Dell who sent me back to the isp. Apparently the IP address was the culprit. The isp sent some kind of signal to the modem and a new IP address appeared and the net again was accessible. I just did a scan using the Network Diagnostics in the Windows XP Professional Help and Support Center and the only thing that failed was the Network Adaptor. The specific entry is: - Network Adapters FAILED. - [00000001] Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller (FAILED). + IPAddress = 24.12.53.118 (FAILED) I …
