Hi, We have a Microsoft Server 2003 with 3 computers (XP Pro) connecting via a LAN to synchronise files in the shared folders. There is also a Draytek Vigor 2800 router for internet access with a static IP and DHCP disabled. The server is giving out the IP's for the client computers but about twice a day the clients are going 'Off Line', they loose their IP address (it reverts to 169.xxx....) and are unable to access the server or get onto the internet or print (The printer is set up through the server). I have tried giving the clients static IP's but the same thing happens anyway. I have also tried disabling and enabling the LAN connection on the clients…

I see the pointer frozen in the middle of the display but no mouse activity and weirder yet is no sign of any mouse installed and no mouse drivers can be seen in Device Manager. Scary. Opinions on what to do next? I do have really old IntelliPoint 1.1 on floppy disk and a CD to boot from.

Hi. We have a single scope. The scope contains 7 segments of our network. 99% of our systems are using reserved addresses. What we want to do is to split the scope in two. 2 of the 7 segments will be on one scope with one gateway assigned and the others are on a second scope with a second gateway define. Is there a simple way or does the scope have to be wiped and the 2 scopes created from scratch? Moving/importing the reservations? Thanks

I have IE version 6. I am currently taking courses online. I can log on to the test site successfully, but when I click on the link to begin the test, the information box from Internet Explorer pops up asking me if I want to "allow this page to paste information from my clipboard". I click both no, yes, and exit buttons. I get a flash of the box, nothing else happens; I cannot remove this box from my screen. Subsequently, the page is locked. I have to restart my pc to fix this. Can someone please help me, I need to be able to take these tests from home. I don't know much about computers, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello On a Windows 2003 SP1 R2 machine I get an error message when I try to access the "Removable Storage" MMC snapin in the Computer Managment console. The error is: "Access is denied. This snapin's display may be inconsistent with the Removable Storage Service. If the problem persists prease restart the snapin." I am an administrator. I have restarted the Removeable Storage service I have searched Google and tried the one suggestion I found there. How do I restart a snapin? Have any of you seen this problem? Do you have any suggestions for fixes? Thanks

With some regularity my Internet Explorer page seems to freeze up. It seems to always happen to the first page that's been opened, with any other Internet Explorer pages that are open not being affected. The page will not respond in any way and appear to be just frozen up. To close it I have to open up 'windows task manager'. I also often get a message from windows reporting a fault and asking if I'm happy to post a fault report, which I do. My system is fully up to date. Any suggestion on what problems I might have or how I could do some fault finding to find the problem. Regards....Chris

I have a HP DL320s, currently with 6 * 750GB SATA disks in a single logical drive, raid 6 of 2861491MB Windows 2008 x64 has been installed using a 50GB system partition and the plan was to create a couple of 1TB Volumes with the third volume using the remaining space and to add disk as needed. The server is just a low use basic file server. The Disk in DIsk Management shows as Disc0 Basic with the 50GB parition, layout simple, type basic, ntfs. The problem is the remaining unallocated disk shows as 2 separate sections, one of 1998GB and the other as 746.42GB. I can create new simple volumes in the 1998GB section but all the options are greyed ou…

Hello, I am looking for a solution to define a "virtual postscript printer". This "virtual postscript printer" woud in fact start a program of my own which will modify the PostScript file and then send the modified file to a real postscript printer. I manage to do so with RedMon 1.7 that I loaded from internet, but wonder if any windows server 2003 integrated solution exist. If anyone could help ? Thanking in advance.

When I boot up WinXP it takes a 'normal' time to get the desk top laid out, and all in place, but then can't do anything for almost 5 minutes until the START menu icon activates. Little hour glass until then. Possibly related, when IE6 logs onto the dial up server, there is a normal sequence of dial, handshake, identify, connect, and then...about 5 minutes longer before the welcome screen comes up [no activity or bytes going back and forth, just hour glass and waiting for ??] I think WinXP has some sequence of applications running that dominates here, but I have no idea how to proceed. What step by steps should I do to find out what's hogging, or delayin…

IE - HELP! Web pages refuse to fit in the screen Help anyone? When I have any web page open, it will not fit inside the window and I have to scroll not only up and down,which isn't that unusual, but from left to right and it's driving me bonkers! It seems to have started about 3weeks ago. I have W2Kpro and IE6 both with all the service packs and updates avail. I'm grateful for your help! -- Desiree 3D

Doing some house cleaning and noticed several old local profiles on my XP system and thought I'd delete them. The Delete button is greyed out in the User Profile GUI for every profile on my system. I ran Process Explorer and noticed that every profile's NTUSER was loaded and wouldn't allow me to close their handles. Can anyone suggest a clean way to rid myself of these old profiles? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney

Hello, I I have an XP Pro system that is a member of a Domain managed by Server 2003 Standard. Apparently before my time it was also a member of an old domain and was setup to sync to the old server. That server no longer exists but during log of the system will try to sync to the old server and fail but syncs to the new server and succeeds. I have searched far and wide on the Internet and have not found a solution. Either it is staring me in the face or I am the first with this problem (am I lucky or what?) Any ideas -- Owen K

If a user has KB951748 installed, their USB printers will no longer connect properly to Terminal Services. Usually not even showing up as an available printer on the server. When they log off their PC will hang for several minutes. After logging off their printer will show on the server as still connected. While they are connected the printer does not show up. restarting the print spooler does clear out the old connections. If they untick printers under resources before doing the RDP connection then they logg off normally with no hang. If KB951748 is uninstalled the problem goes away until autoupdate puts it back in. Service Pack 3 appears to h…
