i experienced this problem and finally found out that there was a previous instance of the program still running in the task manager. i terminated this instance and then it worked.

I need to add a registry setting in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
I want this setting to be available for all users on
the machine. How can existing users and new users inherit
this setting. I cannot use the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, the registry is the wrong place (at least, current user is). Your alternative (if it's your app) would be to have the information in a publicly accessible file.

Anybody ever setup multiple web servers behind MS Proxy Server?
We have 1 machine which serves as the proxy-web-ftp-etc server right now. What we're aiming for is this: 1 proxy machine would redirect to a couple of other machines which would serve up web pages.
We thought we could just setup the proxy's web publishing (in IIS) to route requests to the different machines but the machines on our internal network can't get to these web sites. You have to use the computer name to get to them (example: http://webserver1 instead of http://www.domainname.com/webserver1).
Any ideas on the best way to set this up or a work around to the problem above??

Do you have DNS running? You can't connect via a domain name without it and must use machine names instead.

Are you sure you really want to do this? Does anyone else in your home or office have physical access to it? You don't have to be logged in for the server to provide services to your network - they start up automatically - so unless you intend to sit down and type on the keyboard there's no need to make this change.
Keep in mind, too, that if your machine is ever (God forbid) stolen, the thief will have full access to whatever is on your machine just by switching it on. That includes favorites - like online stores you might use - and passwords that might enable placing orders or accessing your bank accounts. Risky business!!

Get TweakUI from MS which lets you set an autologin. (I don't think the Users control panel lets you do it on server.)

How many here were bitten by the problem where the SP install thinks your copy of WinXP Pro was stolen...

If you entered a key that is not expected by your version of XP. Your group license key may have conflict with the key on the product.
talk to your IT.
Good luck!

well! i have a problem which is a bit different from the general mood of questions here!
I have a client server application for which i want to calculate that:
in order to serve 40 client connections (doing file transfers with average file size being 3MB),
for which the clients must be having a download speed of atleast 4KB/sec
how much bandwidth must be allocated at the server side so that it server those 40 clients well!
I want answer to this specific quiestion and if some one can give me a formula for this i'll be very thankful.

((40 * 4) * 8) = 1280 bits pr. second. Which is a 1.25 Mbit network

Windows XP has a (supposedly) handy feature called "rollback" where you can undo operations you've done and go back to the way the system was before.
Question: sometimes this doesn't work! Sometimes you can "roll back" to a rollback point, but if you examine your system, the rollback clearly did not work properly - files that were created after the rollback point are still there, some registry settings weren't rolled back, etc.
This only happens sometimes. So far I've only seen it on XP home, but I can't be sure it's just an XP home issue (I always thought XP Home and XP pro were really pretty much the same, just in a different box.)
So what might be wrong? Could there be something wrong with the rollback point? Or do you have to do something special (besides just keeping the rollback feature on) to get this to work? Or might it be an OS problem?
Any general info about rolling back would be appreciated. This is a baffling problem.
There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.

Hello,
is there a backup utility included in WinXP home edition that could backup a network drive ?
thanks.

oh my god ! I forgot the password of windows 2000 server installed on my computer
now what to do?
|
|
|
|

Were you using the administrator account? If you were then shame on you... you forgot that account 
Connect the drive up to another system pull off the data and start over....
If not, just log on as administrator and rest the account that you were using.

I have a Win2K pro peer-to-peer network. Most of the workstations can access one another's shares flawlessly, but a few cannot. I am having a hard time figuring out what is causing the anomalies.
How can I find out the reason a user's authorization is denied on a given machine? I have three machines: \\foo, \\bar, and \\mew.
I can access both \\foo and \\bar from \\mew, using the same account and password, but I cannot access \\foo from \\bar (error says "unknown user or bad password"). Can anyone give me some pointers on figuring out why the user's access is not being authorized. The Event Log events are quite uninformative to my eyes.

mainly because I haven't got a clue how it works.
I have a small (8 client) home network with one windows 2000 server. I also have ADSL with a dynamic IP address (actually never changes). My network is on 192.168.0.x with each client given an IP address through the DHCP server on the ADSL router. The ADSL router and Win2K server have static IPs within the 192.168.0.x range but not in the same scope as the DHCP. Clear so far?
At present the clients are all configured with their gateway as the ADSL router and their DNS servers as the ISP's DNS servers. This is a bit diodgy as in theory the Win2k server should be set up as the primary DNS and then delgate any requets it can't handle to the ISP's DNS servers but I couldn't figure out how to do that  (any help much appreciated).
Anyway, I get home today and my client machines can't connect to the internet. More exactly, they can't resolve the host names into IP addresses. Using IP addresses is OK.
What makes it wierd is that the Win2K server can still resolve hostnames fine. The only real difference between this machine and the clients is that it has a static IP. The DNS servers are setup the same as the clients.
Anyway, does anyone have some idea about what I should do to fix this?
Cheers
James

Has the Win2k server been running continuously? It caches any DNS searches and uses the cached addresses if it can't connect to the ISP's servers.

It has been running continuouslybut I just tested this theory by putting in a few web addresses that I've never been to before and it found them straightaway. Must be something else...

Change the setup...
DSL -> Router -> server_external_nic -> server -> server_internal_nic -> Hub -> clients
Keep the external networjk set up as the same subnet that teh router wants to use (192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 are popular).
Give all clients a static IP address (you only have 8 clients so that should not be tooo hard).
Read up in the NT userguide for NAT.
Set up your own local DNS (you will have to do this if you use Active Directory to authenticate clients anyway) and set the forwarders of that server to your ISP DNS servers.
Basically this is the best way to set up.. you can use the server as a secondary router and authenticate all your users off of it.
I use the setup in my home office with a cable internet conneciton and it works great. I run a copy of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 (Exchange, ISA Server, SQL, the works) and things run fantastic.
