well, i noticed that, but the 249MB download size turned me off, as im on lowly dsl here at work. Plus, thats got a whole lotta extra baggage. I suppose i could let it download overnight...
i think i was looking more for something on the simpler side, heh, but i suppose this will have to do.

Hi,
is this problem only from some computers or from many?
which network connection do you have (Shared,Switched,Routed)?
is the server in the same subnet as the clients with the problem?
have you many logon scripts running?
is this with all users or some accounts?
have you server based profiles? might be corupted?
is the problem reproduce able wenn the workstation is rebooted/ runs some time/you log off and log on again?
does the name resolution goes well? might be wins?
HtH
regards
Patrick

The problem only occurs with some computers on your network. I'd go and check these machines first instead of thinking there's something wrong with your server...

Are the clients using the PDC as DNS server?
XP clients need to use the PDC for DNS otherwise you will get the symptom you described.
Configure the server DNS as a forwarder and then add your zone as AD integrated.
Atleast this worked at our shop for the same type of problem.
(W2K client -> W2K server never had any problem though.)
And if the paths that I have followed/have tread against the flow/there is no need for sorrow

An Octet is basically the same as a Byte, right?

Yes. Some deviants in the past have attempted to define a byte as something other than 8 bits, but octet says it all rather concisely.

So, i'm here reading this POP3 RFC. It says that if your email server dosn't return a timestamp in it's greeting it dosn't support Authentication.
EXAMPLE TIMESTAMP:
<1896.697170952@dbc.mtview.ca.us>
That just dosn't sound right. Wouldn't Verizon (incoming.verizon.net) support authenitication? What's going on?

I guess if I wanted secure authentication I would use SSL. Is that what Outlook uses?

Directory.CreateDirectory("//ServerName/D/PPP") working in vb .net windows application
Directory.CreateDirectory("V:/bbb") by mapping the drive on the server
Directory.CreateDirectory("\\IP Address of Server\d\temp\ppp") ' By Writing the IP Address of the Server
Error : Could not find a part of the path "\\188.199.250.35\D".
thx.

Why you don't use MapPath()??

It all seems so simple when I read this[^] article, but when I attempt to imlement the instructions I find that the screens mentioned don't match what I see.
My computer is a standalone XP box connected to a small home network using Workgroups and not a Domain.
I find no Advanced tab or Secure Logon section of User Accounts as mentioned by the article. What I do see is Change the way users log on or off option with Use the Welcome screen as the only viable option.
Anyone know how I can force Ctrl+Alt+Del as a requirement to reaching the logon screen on my standalone box?

Are you using the simplified file sharing method for security? I've found that this changes the behavior of XP badly, and it's the default setting. If so, disable it and force everyone to use passwords. That might restore the screens you should expect from this article's descriptions. If you already use the traditional username/password logon, then I haven't a clue - maybe a service pack since the article was written has changed something. I have yet to see a XP machine that uses this logon box, though, so it probably isn't something easy to change.

First two things I change on every XP box I touch, doubly so for my own machines. Still not doing as I expect.

To change it so the user id/password box is used is as follows.
Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change the way users log on or off -> Uncheck Use the Welcome screen
It seems that when I connect an XP machine setup this way to a domain the Ctrl+Alt+Del feature appears. Haven't done it for a few months so am not completely sure my memory serves me well and of course no domain handy to test this on.

The docs I have refer to it explicitly as something that's added when connecting to a domain, but never mention it when discussing a Workgroup. It may be that this is simply not available unless you're part of a domain.

Check out the post by Sebastian Benitez and my reply to him below. May be a useful trick to put in the kitbag as you start to run into more and more XP machines.

Definitely! But what I need is a better bag of tricks to store these little tidbits in. That's what the MS Knowledge Base is supposed to be for, but it's getting harder and harder to find anything relevant in it.

You could try this. But first I have to say that my XP is in spanish, so I will have to translate all I've found to english, which might not be the same as your XP.
Go to Start menu, then to Administration Tools, then click on Local Security Directives or something like that. A window will open. Select Security options from the tree. In the list panel you will see a lot of strings with options. Look for some that says Interactive session init or something like that, it should have a Ctrl+Alt+Del appended to it. Then try setting it to disabled. Because it is negated, I think you should put there disabled, which in turn should activate the Ctrl+Alt+Del in the login screen.

Sebastian, thanks very much for your response. I found the area you were talking about and and have made the change but will have to wait a few hours before I can reboot the machine to test it as I am in the middle of a large download.
I will list the steps I took below to help any other people using the English version of Windows XP find their way through.
- Go to Control Panel
- Double Click Administrative Tools
- Double Click Local Security Policy
- Click the + next to Local Policies
- Click Security Options
- Double Click Interactive logon:Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
- Click Disabled
- Click Apply
- Click OK

That looks like it should do the trick. Local and Global Policies are areas where I rarely tread; I'd never think to look there!

Happy to report it did do the trick.

Thanks, same to you, as by my piss poor calculations it should be about 1:25AM over there about now.

There is an easy way. I am on a domain so I can't give you the exact wording, but under User Accounts there should be something about changing the way users log on and off. Its the same place you enable/disable fast user switching.
