"On-Demand" Server?

graz

Hello! I was wondering if I could do a nice thing: install a modem on a server here in my office, call by phone wherever I am that server, hang up, and have the machine call me back, establishing in this way a reliable and quite useful (I'd be plugged in my working net) connection.

has anyone gotten Umax Astra 600P to work??

I just put win2k on my pc at work and can't get my scanner to work, it keeps giving me black previews and also makes the scanner sound really LOUD and rough. Just wondering if anybody got it working succesfully, if not then I guess I'll move it to a win98 box and have it set up a server.

Everquest still has problems :(

Mike Zamarocy

Ok, been hooked on Counterstrike for a bit, so EQ has been gathering dust. But last night I decided to blow the dust off and play with some magic. Well, the sound still is bad, if not worse. When I logon, and before I get the the choose character screen, the music (is it Midi???) starts to stutter real bad for near ...

2462- After running MSCONFIG, the following problems occured

Psyphon

I ran MSCONFIG to have a look around. Afterwards, i rebooted, noting that for the first time it actually failed to turn off but did shut down windows. Previously it had worked fine. When it booted up again, i realised i had left it in Selective Startup with all options ticked.

BIOS Upgrade

Is there actually a BIOS upgrade for the GeForce 2 MX Video card? I don't see any on Asus or Nvidia, but was curious if there was one to flash the video bios with. Thanks.

Programs only working for administrators

Gleep

I have a problem with my clients. There are a few programs that will only work when you give out administrative privs. Quickbooks Pro, and Quick Q Call Server for one. Clients are properly setup as far as I can tell, they can access network resources and such.

Slow logon to domain

mthaler

Windows 2000 server is set with Active directory in pure (non-mixed) mode. This is a small network with less than 10 users. There is only one 16 port 10/100 switch, not a lot of traffic. When logging on with Windows 2000 Pro SP1, the workstations take a really long time during the Loading Personal Settings part.

How powerfull need a PSU be?

I have a fairly stuffed PC and I’m experiencing some problems that might just be power related. If I start a calculation that is requiring a lot of CPU power (Task Manager / Performance), the fan / HD noise pitch changes.

This is a pretty cool link that shows a simplified explanation of DNS implementation in Win2K. I don't know if the link requires membership, but membership is free anyway. Regards, clutch.
