Morning guys. I have created roaming accounts on my DC (Win2K Adv. Svr. ) and have a shared folder off the server for their roaming profiles. I've used roaming profiles for a long time now since WinNT 4 without incident.

Using a fake IP

Manos
Well, I've been hangin' out on DC alot lately and that is a hub based peer to peer filesharing program. Problem is, some hubs only accept ppl from sertain ISPs and therefor they check the IP number. This may not be the cleanest thing to do.

Strip E-mail headers at router/firewall

ryoko
I was just thinking about mail headers, and was wondering if anyone was familiar with stripping the header information off at the gateway, router, or firewall. Typically you will see the sending mail server, type of server, and its version.

stingbandel
Hi, I am having a problem with my Win 2k AS system. I can access my Win 2k AS system from my Win 2k Pro but my Win 2k AS can't access my Win 2k Pro. It says that network is not accessible. I am using SMC router with dial up connection so what I do is basically just setup the workgroup the same.

NIC card suggestions

pmistry
I am in the market for a new NIC. I am thinking Linksys LNE100TX, its fairly cheap and has good performance, also a Netgear FA311, anybody have good or bad opinions on these? What about a Cicero? BTW, the card must work with all versions of Windows.

Scheduled startup

kris
Hi, How can a NT4-server get scheduled to start up, e. g. each Monday morning at 07:00? And to shut down Friday evening? For shutting down there are shareware solutions available. But for starting up we can't find anything at all.

connecting to a hub

brandongeek
i am trying to set up XP on a hub that is sharing a cable modem to the internet. the network card is installed correctly, it has the connection light on and the activity light is flashing. XP insists that the network cable is not connected to the PC.
