Has he got that stupid simplified sharing enabled, the one that installs by default? I ran into that on the first XP network I built. Unless you disable that crud and create local user accounts and passwords on each machine, all access to shares is done using the Guest account. Since the account is usually disabled, this rarely works.

Probably as it was a fresh install of windows. Hes in a class right now, I'll check with him when he gets back.

Hi, need help!!
Does anybody know how to grab the data stream that goes to
the graphics card from windows and then on to a projector for example, or even how this works????
I presume that the data stream is going to come from the
windows desktop through win32.
Any ideas or links greatly appreciated!!
Cheers,
/Shane.

Do you mean between windows and the driver or between the driver and the actually physical system? Working between windows and the driver shouldn't betoo difficult, but working driver level would probably be pretty complex. A better question is what are you using it for?.

Thanks for responding guys,
I mean between windows and the driver, basically instead of the data stream going to a graphics card on the same PC I want to stream it to another PC where it goes through the graphics card on that PC and then on to a projector.
The application I'm trying to do this with is PowerPoint so even if I can get the data stream that is going to windows from PowerPoint it may help me.
Maybe this is impossible, if so any ideas why it can't be done??
Cheers
/Shane.

This seems theoretically possible, but PowerPoint may have some sort of an api (albiet probably undocumented) I'll do some checking between classes and give you an update on what I've found.

After a day of unbelievable crap ( i may whine about it later )
I've finally got win xp up and running with only one minor problem and that is that it wont recognise the nvidia gefoprce 4 graphics card.
The install instructions for the geforce say that you change the display adapter ( basically ) but according to windows xp I dont have any display adapters on my system.
Further more if I run the geforce setup program I find that when I load it up windows says I've not installed it so there's no chance to switch to it.
Anyone know how to force win xp to accept it?

Geez... You're the second person who's reported this in the past 24 hours! The other is a teacher at the local college I was chatting with last night, and he teaches computers! Wacky...

You know its weird, I have been having similar problems. I had this problem with my capture card during my last install, I also had some weird problems with my Radeon doing something similar. I had to install that hardware after windows install (obvioulsy a little harder with video card  )

I have an ActiveX control that works fine with my asp web application on Windows NT 4.0 servers and workstations. However, when moving the asp web application to Windows 2000, the control stops working.
Internally, the control has to make Tuxedo connection to a backend server. Tuxedo is an old BEA middle-ware product that is based on TCP socket. The problem is that the socket connection always fails within my asp web application. However, the same control works fine on Windows 2000 machines if it is used outside of the asp web application.
What I would like to know is, is there any setting in IIS (on Windows 2000) that will prevent socket connections to be established from asp web applications to other servers.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I think that you need to check your application configuration options.
In ISM,
Right click the name of your site/application choose "properties",
Choose "Home Directory" Tab,
under the "Application Settings" area, "Execute Permissions",
change the drop down to "Scripts Only" and see if that helps, if not change to "scripts and executables" and see if that helps.
You might want to restart IIS after each change to be sure that the new setting gets effected. Let me know what if this helps.

Is it possible to set up network profiles within XP Home for one network device? I am open to using 1 profile with account a and another for account b. Heres the story. My dad, a GM Mechanic, had to buy a laptop computer as per GM's wishes so he can wirelessly access technical information. So I convinced him that he should get a Wireless router at home so he could surf at home wirelessly too. The person his employer has administering the whole system knows nothing. They are using a linksys Wirless AP/Router and a static IP network. The problem is they have the AP/Router DHCP server running only its a different IP range !. So I can't set up the computer to use a static alternate configuration because there is a DHCP server and it won't default to it. If I set it to static he can't use wireless at home because of the DHCP server in the home AP/Router.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm stuck

If DHCP is running in both places it shouldn't matter about the ranges, the laptop should just pick up the differing information from whichever DHCP server it is talking too at the time. XP is pretty good about that usually.
I am guessing that I am missing something about this situation. Respond to this by calling me stupid and saying "phbbbt" and then tell me what I am mis-understanding. Then I will give you a proper answer.

Well the problem is that the DHCP server at work is handing out 192.168.0.X Addresses, however the work network requires a Static address in the 10.5.X.X range (not exactly sure on this). Maybe this makes more sense.

Ah, so they have static addresses at work and the one you have at home is set up for DHCP. Now I follow you.
One way to try to configure this is buy setting up the "General" tab in the TCP/IP properties for DHCP and then go to the "Alternate Information" tab (Something like that anyway, its the secon tab in the TCP/IP properties) and input the static information from work. This should cause it to query for DHCP information first, so this would get him on the network at home, and if that failed it would try to use the static address in the alternate tab which should get him on the network at work. That is how it is supposed to work anyway.
Or you could try something like this program: http://www.netswitcher.com/[^] (I have never used it but it looks interesting).
Let me know how it goes, I am curious to see if either of these work for you.

Thats how I had it, but the network is at work is handing out IP addresses, but that DHCP server isn't handing out correct information. Basically they are setting their Wireless AP up as a router

Why not create a new user for the home network? That would create a new profile, and a whole new set of networking parameters to match the configuration at home.

There are 2 users, but they for some reason use the same network settings.

Yeah, they will. Same if you use different hardware profiles, though it MIGHT be possible to trick it that way. I have never gotten it to work though.
