16-bit and 32-bit are called bit depths. Which is basically the color depth of your monitor.

Hi - hope someone can help!
I have a W2K machine that has worked on the network, but has had some 'tinkering' done on it and now i cant get it to work. It doesnt appear to find the dhcp server (which is our router), and therefore isnt assigned an IP address. Trying ipconfig /all, i get:
Connection specific DNS suffix :
Description : Intel(R), etc
Physical Address : etc
DHCP enabled : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled : No
IP address : 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask : 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway :
DHCP Server : 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers :
If I try fixed IP, it works and I can see all machines on the network, but I am unable to get connection to the internet.
I have tested all hardware, by unplugging the network lead from the 'faulty' PC and plugging it into a knoown good one (XP OS though) and this worked OK.
Is there any way I can monitor the W2K network traffic to see whether it is actually attempting to register with the DHCP server?
looking in event viewer, there is a problem with DHCP!
I have this listed under a DHCP error:
Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP server) for the Network Card with network address *****.
The following error occured:
An operation was attempetd on something that is not a socket. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.
It looks like the DHCP client is trying to register approx every 5 mins, as there are now 5 errors listed, each 5 mins apart...
I also have another error - I dont know if it is related. Its source is DCOM, the description is:
The server {****} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
What is DCOM? Could this be the cause of my problem?
hope someone can help, I have had enough of this problem!

I also used to challenges with my work when working in any field that we do not know clearly about it. What I recommend for you is you should take a training about Microsoft technology. Try to gain Microsoft Certificate then you would become an expert and you found it is very easy to work in your company environment.

If you do not want to have a Microsoft training, try to purchase and read this book[^]. Its also a part of Microsoft exam and it is the beginner point to know about windows server 2003.

sorry for my poor english,
In my company there is two servers one domian server [Server1] and another one terminal server [Server2]
The role configured in Server1 are File Server, Print Server, Application Server, Remote Access/VPN Server, Domain Controller, DNS Server.
The role configured in Server2 are Application server, Terminal server, Domain Controller, DNS Server.
The Server2 [Terminal server] is connected in the Server1 [connected in domian].
Now There exist two administrators one for Server1 and another one for Server2
i'm logging into Server2 as "Server2 Administrator" ,
but the problems are
1) administrative tools local security policy are locked , administrator is not able to do any operation in the local security policy
2) i cannot add sites to trusted sites zone in Internet Explore [For relaxing security settings] , it showing you don't have previlages contact your system administrator .
3) while creating a new user , i'm getting following error message "error occured while contacting the global catalog "
i don't know what be the problem, and which user will have previlages
i think the administrator is not having the power.
and I logged into the Server2 as "Server1 Administrator" and that administrator too don't have any previlages
i want to set full power to the Server2 administrator FOR SERVER2 SYSTEM?
what to do?
which user will have full Power for Administrating the server2 system.

Both server are domain controller and DNS server. What does it mean? Do you have a child domain or not?
San_Sadhan wrote: The Server2 [Terminal server] is connected in the Server1 [connected in domian].
What do you mean by connect? It is just connection a network cable to a hub/switch or you join server 2 with server 1.

Whether you log on as administrator, but you should know that every domain controller has an Administrator account, but the top administrator is reside in Enterprise Admin group. Check the group membership and try to log in again.

Hi
I use CreateProcess to run a program. I need to find the windows that the main thread of the process opens (using EnumThreadWindows and from the PROCESS_INFORMATION parameter which I send to the API).
Everything is fine, but I have to wait (using Sleep API) to give time to the process to make its windows before enumerating them.
This is for sure not a good way since different processes take different times to start up.
I want to see, if there is a way to wait until process initialization is finished? maybe some API in the same manner with WaitForSingleObject just to wait for the initialization of the process?
I am really stuck in this...
Thanks in advance

Just installed Customer Preview Beta 2.
When I want to start notepad or someting else via
the start/start search I get following errors:
-Unknow NT operating system code 6 detected
-Read config file failed
However, the program start just fine.
Someone an idea what this might be ?

That's why is called BETA!
There's no information on that error anywhere I can find. I've never run into the problem myself.
Send feedback to Microsoft and hope for the best.

Configure your firewall, which ever one you're using, to block the inbound and outbound ports that your applications are using.

That depends entirely on the firewall you're using and where it's located. If it's installed on your machine, then you'd probably go into Control Panels to control it. if it's an external firewall, like in a router, there's usually a website in the router you can use to configure it. After that, look up what you have to do in the documentation of your firewall.

Have you done any exploring in it??
If the firewall is turned on, then the ports are blocked. you actually have to open ports in order to use them. On the Exceptions tab, this is done by either allowing all ports opened by an application (Add Program button) through, or by specifying specific ports (Add Port button).
