The company that I worked for went out of business. They let me keep my laptop. I decided to get this laptop onto my home network, so I changed the information for the computer. I changed the name of the computer. I removed the old Domain information and I added the computer to my local Workgroup. When I reboot the computer, my old username was in the Username field of the login screen, without the preceeding domain information. But, no password is working now. Not my old password, not my new password. Does anyone know what username/password the system is looking for now? It must be looking for some specific set, but I've tried everything I can thin…

Hi, all ! I've tested IPConfig /flushdns command and found out that it doesn't work. But before I go on, here are some background details... My connection to the net is via ADSL, dynamic link. In theory, the use of the following 3 commands:- ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew supposed to flush out the "old" dns, and obtain a "new" one. So I made a batch file (ip.bat) with the following command:- ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /all and run 2 tests, about 20 minutes apart. The result is, the dns and the IPs staye…

Hi There Have a laptop which I just reformatted the C drive with and have done a fresh clean install of Windows XP Home Edition. This was after several attempts at using the recovery console, and when that failed I did a full reformat in NTFS a clean install.

I am trying to change the Network key on my linksys router. The existing number is 26 characters long and random, apparently in hex. I want something short and easy to remember. I went to http://192.168.1.1 and entered usernames and passwords until I blundered into one that seemed to work. It resulted in closing of the password dialog box and took me to the browser screen. The browser message is: 401 Unauthorized Authorization required So I'm stuck. McGyver

Hi, I have a 32bit 2008 Enterprise TS running and I'm having issues with Easy print. The clients are XP SP3 with .NET 3.5, or Vista SP1 with .NET 3.5. When a user logs on, he sees the redirected printers without me having to install any driver. Great... Now when someone prints something, the text comes out garbled. (pictures are ok) I uploaded a few examples I scanned to my personal webpage @ http://users.telenet.be/obsession2001/easyprint.zip (348kb) * Mail1.jpg = Printout Outlook 2007. Headers appear fine. Text is jibberish except a few small words at the end (part of my signature - not entire signature is ok) * Excel.pdf = printout Excel 2003. …

Good Day Please can someone help, i have a Windows 2003 server with around 50 users connecting to it, sometimes the TS will keep their printers from previous sessions, so it will show two printers eg: HP1018 in session 10 and HP1018 in session 12 , i think this maybe from the users being disconnected if the line drops, or maybe if they close the terminal sever session by clicking on the cross at the top of the screen instead of logging off correctly by going, start - logoff. Another problem that happens is that quite often it will show all the printers on the server instead of just the users printers. So i was wandering if there was a way to stop th…
