I am standing up a closed network with Win2K Adv Server. DNS and WINS are both on the same server and will resolve names. DC can see the network and clients but clients cannot see the network. The error they get on XP is <Domain Name> is not accessible.

MS-DOS program exits to a black screen

beaner

My MS-DOS program has this issue with my XP Home edition: I open up the program from Windows and it pops up, full screen or normal window makes no difference, and when I exit the screen turns black. I have to shut off or put the computer on standby before the screen comes up normally again.

FlashGet : a serious spyware threat?

Tom-boy

I just downloaded and ran M$ AntiSpyware and it gave a rather big load of potential threats, affected registry keys and files concerning FlashGet 1. 3. Neither Spybot nor Adaware regarded it as a threat.
