Try telnet 192.168.1.1 80 and type
GET / HTTP/1.0
[cr]
[cr] i.e. press Enter twice after the GET line. If you can't type without seeing what you're doing, press Ctrl+], then set localecho at the Microsoft Telnet prompt (Windows XP - the syntax for Windows 2000 and earlier is different).
If you get a response, it's a problem with your Internet Explorer configuration. Make sure there's no proxy server set up by looking in Tools > Options, Connections tab, click LAN Settings. I've also heard of spyware which breaks IE in this area - you might want to try Ad-Aware[^] or a similar spyware remover.

Is there any way to keep non admin users from installing local printers in Windows 2000?

Thanks. That helped me find the problem. Someone had put Authenticated Users in the Power Users group, which meant that anyone could add a local printer.

There is one policies in group policies: "Prevent user from installing printer drive". Try to configure this policies and hope it would help you.

I treat all comparative reports with a large amount of distrust, especially when paid for by the companies that produce the products being tested.
While there is not likely to be any falsifying of results, you can be sure that the environment, including the tests themselves will have been skewed to present the correct product as the "winner".

I totally agree with you. The test conditions themselves are fallacious like the results. And really speaking I dont like my favourite Linux systems being ranked below those I don't really love and admire

On the VeriTest website on the age about which reports get posted it says
"The reports we've posted on our Web site, however, represent only a small fraction of the tests we've performed and the test reports we've written—the fraction that our clients have chosen to publish. Each client determines, for each test, whether to have us post its test report."
I would be interested in seeing some of the comparisons Microsoft chose not to make public.

You might get some joy from these links[^]. However, since you used a passphrase I suspect that you're out of luck - if you can't remember it, you're not going to be able to get in.
You could also see http://is-it-true.org/nt/atips/atips262.shtml[^]
Unless you used Windows' data encryption features, you should still be able to install the hard disk in another computer and be able to extract the data - syskey only encrypts the account manager database, making it harder for an attacker to steal password hashes.

I need a simple, programmatic way to set up a small number of accounts on new PCs running Windows XP.
I'm prepared to write script (VBScript or Javascript), .NET code (C#) or even an app in C++
Please can someone give me a clue as to where would be the best place to start. Just pointing me to something relevant on MSDN would be fine.
Thanks in advance,
Phil

A while back I posted a question here about running two networks on a single hub, but I never reported back on the project. Sorry about that.
To recap, the upstairs network has DSL while the downstairs has dialup connectivity to the Internet. The people upstairs are management drones who don't need broadband, while the people downstairs are the ones dealing with customers and really need fast response times. The upstairs folks were paranoid about the downstairs troops being able to access their PCs, and there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes involved in making the decision to link the two.
My solution, sound in theory but untried by me, was to readdress the upstairs network and downstairs network to use different subnets, then to run a single cable between their two hub/switches. In theory it should work fine - hubs are relatively dumb and shouldn't care what addresses are carried by the packets passing through them. I'm happy to report that it works as well in practice (it really should) as in theory. I ran a cable, plugged it in, readdressed the nets and all is humming along nicely now, with everyone sharing the same gateway DSL device. The only glitch arose from the fact that the creative genius who originally set this up named each of the servers (one on each network) \\SERVER, which intially made Windows choke. It was with much trepidation that I renamed the downstairs server and rebooted - it is WinNT4, after all - but after chanting a silent mantra for the ten minutes it took to restart it turned out that the computer gods were benign that day. Neither side can even see the other, so the drones are content, and being able to place orders online, retrieve information in seconds, and the like makes for happy customers downstairs.
Thanks to all for the reassurance that my plan wasn't totally mad.

I'm trying to open the system store from IIS web extension and I
get an ACESS_DENIED error. It works when I run extension in "High-Isolation" mode under account belonging to Administrators group (which is not safe at all!!!), but id doesn't work if I run it under local IWAM_<machinename> account or specially-created "non-administrator" domain account. Where (and how) adjustments should be done to make it work?
Here is the call I make (C++)
store = CertOpenStore( CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM,
PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING | X509_ASN_ENCODING,
NULL,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE,
L"MY"
);
Thanks,
Andrey

I cannot install updates from Windows Update because it does not pass the Windows Logo program.
Isn't this strange, since it comes from MS web site?
Also, is there a way disable it?

This shouldn't happen. Have you installed and enabled the Root Certificates Update feature? You'll find it in Add/Remove Windows Components in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet (Update Root Certificates, on an English operating system).
The original key Microsoft used for signing updates expired at the end of 2002. Since then they've relied upon certificate-path features, using a code-signing key signed by their root certificate. If you've disabled the above feature, you may not have a current copy of the certificate. I don't believe there's any harm in having this feature enabled. Microsoft describes how it works here[^].
If you're talking about disabling the check for driver updates, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware tab and click Driver Signing. Select either Warn or Install rather than Block, then click OK.
Windows XP SP2 should include an up-to-date copy of Microsoft's certificates. You should also be able to get a copy from Windows Update - you may need to check for refused or hidden updates if you decided not to install them previously.
