For some weeks now I'v been noticing this at my home computer.
Ever since I switched to windows 7 (64bit) my network connection gets disconnected every x amount of mb's downloaded (usually between 100-500mb).
Going into the network center and clicking on the yellow ! mark fixes it (after half a min or so) telling me that my 'default gateway' couldn't be found and has now been fixed.
It's extremely annoying.
It doesn't always happen tho.
When I use torrents to do the download I don't have this problem.
Any idea what it could be? I tried everything I could think of short of going back to XP (where the problem didn't exist).

We're running a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 with SQL and about 20 CALS.
Yesterday the motherboard got toasted and we can't get that model anymore.
We can however replace it with another Motherboard, but our supplier now informed us that we will lose all our CALS, and our OS license.
The price for re-purchasing the software and licenses is more than the server's hardware.
Makes me wonder once again.... why on earth do we support Microsoft Technology???????
Anyone here who know's of any way out?

That doesn't sound correct. Maybe you need a different supplier.
I don't think there are restrictions on moving your licenses and CALS to a different server. Unless your license is per processor and there are more processors/cores on the new motherboard? However, CALS should still be good.
Of course, the rules may have changed since I last checked.

Well, our OS is OEM and so are the CALS, simply because that was the only affordable package.
But according to Microsoft OEM products are "married" to the Motherboard and when the board goes, so does the license for your software.
So, we heavily invested in Microsoft servers (bought quite a few), but our investment per site is only as safe as a SINGLE PIECE OF HARDWARE!
And as we all know, HARDWARE BREAKS!
I hate MS so much right now....

This is not my experience. When this happened to one of my customers I had to go through a lot of administrative bullshit work with Microsoft, but they accepted making a new registration of the server. Important notice, there was no reinstall done, the existing harddrives and raidcontroller was used on the new MB.
MS would not have accepted a new install of the server on the new hardware.

Hello all,
I have two different places where typically I get connected using WiFi...
One of them has DHCP and the other doesn't.
I can't change the access points settings so every time that I change my location, I need to edit my wifi network settings...
Is there any way to have two different settings applied and make the computer to choose them automatically?
Of course it is easy to change, but it is boring to do that often (2 or 4 times per day).
Thank you in advance!
PS: Of course I've googled it, but I've not been able to find it...
SOLUTION:
it seems that you must empty all the fields before selecting DHCP... Then it appears the tab that allow you to select an additional setting.

I don't have Weven, but this seems to work in Vista and XP:
Control Panel>Network>Network & Sharing>Manage Wireless Networks>(your wifi adapter)>Properties
Should be a dialog box with tabs Networking and Sharing.
Select Network then highlight IPv4 and click Properties button.
You then finally get another dialog with General and Alternate Configuration tabs. On one of them (you'll probably have to experiment as to which) select "Obtain an IP address automatically" (ie use DHCP) and on the other select "Use the following IP address" and plug in your desired IP address and subnet mask.
HTH,

yes, I've read something about it in the Internet, but in W7 it seems that when you set the main settings as DHCP you can't add new IP settings and if you add a fixed IP configuration, you can't add a DHCP one... 
Anyway, thank you for posting!

I've found the way to make it appear... you need to empty all the fields before the tab you mention appears... 
Now it is working! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

I'm trying to connect to another PC on my work domain using Remote Desktop. I can make the connection, but when I try to logon to the machine I get "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively." Windows 7 Ultimate is on both machines.
I've searched on the internet, but none of the solutions seemed to fix the issue. Here is a list of things I have tried on the remote PC (forgive the formatting, it was the quickest way to make the list stay lined up):
1) Turned off Windows Firewall.
2) Control Panel -> System Properties -> Remote Tab
a) Remote Desktop is set to "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)".
b) Select Users...: I added my domain\username to the list even though it says "domain\username already has access."
c) Remote Assistance is set to allow. This was already set.
3) Local Security Policies (secpol.msc) -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment ->
a) Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services: my domain\username and "Remote Desktop Users" are both in the list. So is Administrators.
b) Deny log on through Remote Desktop Services: blank.
c) Allow log on locally: domain\Domain Admins (which I am not), domain\Domain Users, and Administrators are listed.
d) Deny log on locally: Guest is the only one in the list.
Thank you for any help,
Answer:
Seems like there was something wrong with our internal DNS cache. When I tried to access the computer by name, it reported the IP address to a different computer. However, when I accessed the IP address of the computer I was trying to reach, it worked fine. Weird thing was the first time I tried accessing the computer by name it said RD was not enabled. I enabled it on the computer I was trying to connect to, then I was able to access it. I guess it could have been a weird circumstance the other computer was off or something.

Are you a member of "Remote Desktop Users" on the target machine? Or a member of a group that is a member of Remote Desktop Users?

Hi all,
I've got an strange problem with UDP communication which I can't explain. First of all let's explain the situation:
We have some access control terminals that store the movements of the staff, this devices are connected via ethernet and send this movements through port 4370, using UDP. To link with these devices we have an application that can be installed as a service which periodically downloads the data from them and inserts the data into the database, besides that we have an application for the end user that links to the database and in case of need is able to link with the devices as well.
At first we installed both applications in a Windows XP machine and it worked perfectly fine, but after sometime we decided to move the first application to a server and this is when trouble showed up; for some reason it seems the application is unable to connect with any of the devices, but all of them are reachable via ping, telnet and web. And to make things worse I installed the end user application in this server and it connects without any problem.
I don't know if this is the right place to post these, but if anyone can give me some tip I'd be most grateful.
Best regards.

Did you check the user's home directory (and similar places) for a normal.dot file? If they have a "silly" one, it could do this sort of thing. If you find one, try copying your (admin) one over the user's.

About once per day, my wife gets an e-mail in her Hotmail account from a friend. It's a nonsensical e-mail with no subject and a bogus or phishing-type link in the body. There are 9 other recipients. Those recipients have various domains like Hotmail, Aol, Yahoo, Msn, Juno, and a few from actual company domains. The virus on the infected computer is sending out e-mails to addresses in the address book and making them appear like they are from one of the addresses in the address book. My first thought on this is since public domains like Yahoo, Aol, and Msn do not store their address book locally, the infected computer cannot be one of those, and must be one of the computers with a company domain where address books would be stored on the computer itself. Am I correct in my assertion?
Thanks.

Not quite, it's not very difficult to spoof someone's address so the message appears to come from one of your friends. I've even had spam mails purporting to come from me even though I know it has not been sent from my PC.
It's time for a new signature.

Which is what's happening. I'm fairly certain that the friends' computer is not the culprit, however, because several AV programs have been run on it (all reporting clean), and thay have a Hotmail address.

Similar thing happened to a friend's AOL account, including the weird additional twist that if I email him I now get an out of office reply immediately with the traditional spam content. 
Good for a few laughs at his expense, but probably means he will have to shut the account down.

Not quite, but it sounds logical. Once a desktop is infected, the environment is under your control, so to speak. Lots of hotmail addresses can be retrieved by merely scanning the user folder where Live Messenger is installed. Addresses mentioned in a conversation can be retrieved by a low-priority thread that only leeches resources when the screensaver is active and that scans the conversation-logfiles with a regex.
..and once you get going, you install a keyhook that filters for popular webpages, and note that these often get followed by a username and a password.

Hi, I have a problem with one of my client computer has a problem with internet connection. During the time that he surf the net, his connection to the internet was lost immediate.
From this point, I think may be this problem related to the physical of network interface card. But he inform me that he could access to the share drive on another server as normal. So with this point I think it might not related to the physical hardware on his computer or my firewall block him (i never configure the firewall to block any user).
So it is a little bit difficult for me to determine what is the cause of the problem that made him lost his internet connection while he still be able to access the share drive on the server.
I try to check his event viewer and I found that his system has the following error with DCOM:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10009
Date: 8/30/2010
Time: 4:50:52 PM
User: <domain_name>\<user_name>
Computer: <local_computer_name>
Description:
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <remote_computer_name> using any of the configured protocols.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
With the above information, does anyone has any idea what is the cause of the problem?

I guess I am a bit confused about how this is supposed to work. maybe someone here can clarify this for me.
I, because I am really... err... organized? want to keep separate custom dictionaries for stuff. That way I can activate them and deactivate them as I go depending on what I am working on at the time.
For example, I would LIKE to have one dictionary for all medical type acronyms for when I am editing stuff of that context, but then be able to turn that off when I am editing a different type of document. Yes, I am aware that some acronyms cross functional areas, and I am OK with that and can manage it.
MY problem now is that it seems like even if you can HAVE multiple custom dictionaries, word seems to only USE one (the one marked as default) when you say 'add to dictionary' and does not ask you specifically which ONE to add it to. So, this means that I would have to go through my custom file once in a while and move the stuff I want out into the other custom ones I have added built.
Can someone out there confirm this for me just so I am sure that I am not crazy? Seems a bit odd to me, but I guess I can understand it to a point.

Yup, that's possible; I'm doing the same for the client-names and placenames in a Sql database.
For Word 2007, go to "Word Options", tabpage "Proofing", and click "Custom Dictionaries". You can have mulitple custom dictionaries, and every checked dictionary is active.
