We are unable to get SNMP to work in Windows XP SP2. It works fine on
Windows 2000 Pro PCs.
Also...I noticed that I am unable to connect to the XP box from the server
by right clicking Computer Management and selecting Connect to another

- Windows XP Setup >> problem with DSL and dial up modem after RegeditI spent almost 90 minutes trying to help a friend solve a computer
problem. The friend has two computers, a desktop and a notebook. They
swap a DSL direct connection by plugging and unplugging the cord to the
DSL modem. The problem is that the desktop no longer can access DSL,
or dial out with its 56k modem. The friend suspects that an improper
usage of Regedit when certain lines flagged by the antivirus program
were deleted instead of modified. Unfortunately, no backup export of
the Registry was made.
I did a cursory search for troubleshooting modems on the Internet. The
home computer was working fine one day, and then the next it was not.
So far the only symptoms are problems with the modem and DSL. The
device driver is there. Running a modem test from the Device manager
shows it there. Yet, it can not do something so simple as dialing out
using the phone dialer in the accessories folder, much less dialing up
for Internet. The error message is no dial tone. If wait for dial
tone is disabled, the modem looks like it keeps trying to dial out, but
I don't think it is doing so. (The sound is turned off.)
It may be a hardware problem, but modems rarely fail just for nothing.
There are no cats or pets to dislodge the wiring. Also the DSL modem
works fine for the notebook, but not at all for the desktop, so there
is definitely something up with the desktop. Thanks for any
suggestions. I am tempted to go for the panic button and do a fresh
install of Windows, but there must be intermediate solutions to try
before the scorched earth solution. I will do more research, but I may
be in over my head.

- Windows XP >> XP doesn't find hard driveHello-
I used Drive Image 7 to copy the computer's hard drive to
a new drive. The data appears to have transferred
properly. Both drives (master & slave)show the same files
and folders in Explorer). I then remove the original
(master) drive , set the new drive to master and reboot.
The drive is reported correctly in the system's BIOS. But
after the Dell splash screen, I get the message that it
can't find a drive.
I put in the XP Pro CD and booted from it to the Recovery
Console. I ran CHKDSK and the drive was found and had no
errors. I then entered FIXMBR and it successfully wrote
the boot record. I tried FIXBOOT and received the message
that a drive could not be found. I'm stumped. Any
suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.

systems fully updated.
Commercial dvds will not play correctly with wmp11 on the XP system (colours
are incorrect) but does play properly on the XP system. Audio files play
fine with both systems. The hardware is the same for both systems.
My feeling is that the codec on the XP system is not working correctly. How
can I check it and, if necessary, replace it?

Windows XP Setup >> Ghosting Thinkpads with hidden partition
Hello,
We are moving to ThinkPads and I have started playing with imaging
them. I am unable to create an image that takes the hidden partition
and adds it to the image.
When I restore the image on the same laptop, the hidden parition
disappears.
Does anybody have any experience ghosting thinkpads so that the hidden
parition and the windows partition and copied to the image and when
restored, both paritions are restored?
Thanks

You must "unhide" this hidden area before successfully using Ghost to image the hard drive.
Please see the following instructions:

Carey,
Thank you very much. I though I did unhide the partition and used
ghost -ib last time but I will give it another shot.

Windows XP Setup >> Ghosting Thinkpads with hidden partition
Carey,
I'm a bit confused. After reading this document it seems that when
restoring an image, it is a 2 step process?
If I use the ghost -ib, do I need to use the FWBACKUP and FWRESTOR?
Thanks,
Mario

- Windows XP Network >> Sharing files when not on the domainWe have laptop users that need to share files when not on the domain. They
are in client's offices working on the same project. When in the office, they
can share files between laptops. I am sure it has to do with domain
authentication but when they are not in the office, they do not have access
to the domain. Some of the laptops can see each other and their respective
shares but are denied access.
Is there a way to make this work?

- Windows XP Setup >> can't see network folderhi!
I have a wired problem. I am connected over a basic network ( i think it is
called peer-to-peer).
The manner in which the computers are connected is as follows:
1) The main computer is an XP Professional.
2) The other computers are win 98, win 98se, and one XP home (thats me).
The network is to help us share files and printers and the internet
connection. The funny prat is that I am able to acess the internet, use a
lan messenger program and communicate with other users. But i am not able to
access the shared folder on the Main computer.
When I try and ping to this address i get a request time out.
Can someone enlighten me to the problem.
Thanx
Nelson.

These tips should help:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection
Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a
direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all
other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:
Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.
htm
2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If
the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer
Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:
Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_prot
ocols.htm
3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all
computers.
Details here:
Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

My concern is that I allowed it in to both my XP Pros and my Vista Ultimate
(I triple boot) and I have a mere Pentium 4 HT @ 3ghz...not a Core-2 Duo
etc. etc.
Should I uninstall it or leave it?
The wording of the KB is nebulous saying Intel processors, particularly
Core-2 Duo. so should I be concerned or not?

- Windows XP >> Hijacked homepage in EI 6I'm one to try something new and at time it get me into trouble. I
downloaded the Beta version of IE 7 and installed it. I didn't like some of
the bugs and followed the instructions on removing it. The removal seemed to
function correctly. After reverting to Version 6 I noticed that every time I
started IE 6 up by clicking on either the icon in the Task Bar or in the
Start button dropdowns, instead of opening up on the home page that I
specified , it opens up to the Microsoft Update Page. When I change the Home
Page in Internet Options in the Control Panel to what I want and re-open IE
6, it reverts back to Microsoft Update Page. I have not got the faintest
notion as to what is going on. Has anyone run into something like this? Any
help would be welcome.
