    License compatability

    We have a server that is using Netware 5.1 SBS. Since it's installation, it has been rock solid and serves our needs so we had no reason to upgrade. However, we do need a few more licenses. I found someone who is selling a 5-user Netware 5 SBS license disk. Does anyone know if this can be used...

    Can I login to 2 servers at once?

    Here's the issue. We have been using NW6 for years as our file server. We actually run 2 companys. The server is getting overloaded with all the users, their big files and email (GW6). We want to stick with NW since it is so darn reliable. Instead of getting a bigger server, they decided to...

    Strange issue installing wireless extender

    We have a network of about 25 PC's (XP) and a Server (Win2K3). We had a wireless router installed and it works fine, except that we have a large building and the signal doesn't reach the corners. No problem. I bought a wireless range extender to install at the mid point of the building and it...

    What is a PCA slot?

    Someone asked me to install dual monitors on their PC. It is an HP DX 2000 MT desktop PC. It has built in video. I usually order a PCI-E card, but the Specs on this machine says it has (3) PCIA slots. What are PCIA slots? I don't have the machine here so I can't look inside. Any info is...

    2 NICs (from another user)

    I also searched the posts but am still confused. Here's my intention: The Server has 2 NIC's installed (GB), but only 1 is active. The server is running low CPU utilization, but the network connection to the workstations seems like it has heavy utilization. I want to load balance as well as...

    installation nightmare

    We have 2 servers running - a Windows 2000 Server and a Windows 2003 Server - each with 25 licenses. There was a power failure and on the Win 2K server, the UPS batteries must have been dead, so it just crashed. It would no longer boot after that. There was a strange POD error relating to BIOS...

    Allow only certain URL's in Internet Explorer

    On our network of Windows XP Pro SP2 PC's, we have disabled internet access for certain PC's that do not require it for their job. This has eliminated corruption and servicing on these PC's. There is now a need to have a few stations access a couple of URL's only (vendors). I was looking for a...

    Need extended run time on UPS

    We need our server to stay up for at least several hours instead of 10 minutes when power fails. The UPS is APC Smart UPS 700. The load is currently about 43%. It has 2 internal 12V (24V total), 7.2AH batteries. I was thinking on getting 2 large 77AH batteries and connecting them externally...

    Disk size reported incorrectly

    Hi We have a Win 2K server. The data drive (D:) is showing 22GB used (when viewing Properties), although when I look at the properties and sizes for each of the 5 folders within the D drive, the total is only 9GB. I found this because the backup drive is 20GB and it has been failing with an out...

    Remote backup?

    We currently have 3 servers installed (one for data, one for sql and one for faxing). A fourth Windows XP PC is connected to all of them and used as an 'admin' pc. All of the data from the 3 servers is backed up to the admin pc at midnight each weekday. The total amount of data backed up is...

    H/W recommendation for new server?

    Can anyone recommend a H/W configuration (not brand names) that can replace our aging server. It's a small company with 5 employees and simple file storage. It has NW 4.1 installed and they want to keep it that way. Are the new processors and drivers able to run on 4.1? About 3 years ago, I...

    What is adequate HW for Vista?

    Hi My friend ordered and received a new Dell with Vista. As I recall it was a core 2 duo, 2GHz I think. I told him to make sure he got plenty of RAM - 4GB and he did. When it came in, he asked me to come over and set it up (something he has asked me to do for all his PC's over the past 15...

    Chronic bad connection (sorry for the long detail)

    Hi I have a friend who called me in desperation. They have a new home (about 3 years old). At that time they also purchased 2 new Dell desktop computers. The first PC is on the second floor and wired directly into a wireless router (g) and a cable modem - no problem. The second PC is located on...

    Whats wrong with caching mailbox?

    Hi When I log into GW6.5, I enter my name and password using Online mode. I would like to switch to caching mode, but when I enter my name and password, it says that the password is incorrect. I have an admin account and have established the directory. What is causing this?

    Cannot reinstall NW 5.1

    Hello I originally installed this software (SBS5) about 4 years ago on an IBM server, and since then the server has been outgrown. We purchased a new IBM server and I have been trying to reinstall the software with 1 problem after another. The IBM Server Installation disks do not have an...

    older mac - printer/modem problem

    For certain reasons, we needed an "older" mac setup for the internet using dialup. I had a powermac 7600 (132mhz, 64mb ram) which had a bad hard drive. I replaced the hd (2gb) and installed system 8.5. Everything worked, even the Stylewriter 1500 connected to the serial port. I then added an...

    Windows won't boot

    We have several Dell PCs w/Windows XP Pro. 1 machine is used by new employees. The users keep screwing them up by downloading junk from the internet. That happened about 4 months ago and I erased the whole machine and reinstalled everything. All was OK until a new employee came in and promptly...

    Start menu mod

    Hi I am using Win XP Pro. On my Start Menu (I have checked the 'Classic" settings). It is annoying to have windows show an abbreviated (favorites?) program list, with the little arrows at the bottom to expand to the full list. Is there a way to change this to display ALL programs?

    Backup to CD-RW problem

    I just replaced a Windows 98 PC with an XP Pro machine. This PC runs a special application and the data files need to be backed up. On the 98 machine, I used a zip 100 drive for backup and it worked. On the XP machine, I want to use the internal CD-RW drive to burn a backup. The program fails...

    Quick changes for a newbie

    Hello: I just inherited a site with a flash navigation menu. Never using it before (but not new to programming or web design), I purchased the latest copy and installed it, assuming I could get up to speed quickly. I must admit this is one of the most frustrating s/w packages I have ever seen...
