HyperBlade

Windows 2003 Folder Redirection

jazzdrive

I've redirected a user's My documents to a folder on the server, and it works great. However, it will not work, for some reason, on the laptop he takes home. I've tried to log on at different computer under his name, and you can see his documents, so I don't know what's wrong with this particular computer.

Is ADSL broadband polarity-sensitive?

packman

Is the connectivity of ADSL broadband wires polarity-sensitive? In other words, if the polarity of the two wires arriving at your modem from the local exchange happens to be the wrong way around, will the connection work less well? It's certainly the case that dial-up is polarity-sensitive, as I confirmed that with ...
