- Windows XP Network >> XP SP2 Internet Connection Sharing trouble - Baffled(Also entitled 'Why does Windows XP ICS hate me?')
I'm having trouble with ICS on two-computer network, both running XP
SP2.
After running the Network Setup Wizard, and making additional manual
configurations:
The host is configured with:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: <blank>
DNS Server: 203.xxx.xxx.xxx (as per ISP setup instructions)
The client is configured with:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
* ping 192.168.0.1 works OK.
* BUT ping, say the IP address of Google, 216.239.39.99 fails (Request
timed out).
* Checking for Winsock corruption using the netdiag tool finds no
corruption (the test passess successfully).
* File/print sharing works perfectly; can play games across the
network perfectly.
* Firewalls (Windows and ZoneAlarm) have been disabled (on the host).
However, the Internet cannot be accessed from the client computer.
I'm baffled, any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Ghostrider

- Windows XP >> Send to function not workingHi
For some reason my "send to" function in Internet Explorer has stopped
working. Whenever I try to email link or a page to anyone, I get a
Microsoft window titled "Microsoft LDAP Directory". This window has spaces
for a server name (the default is "null"), then it has a space for Port,
showing 3268, another space for user name showing "null" and a greyed out
space showing password.
any suggestions??

- Windows XP Support >> windows file protection error after downloading updateshi
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me resolve this. I downloaded
several updates and during the updates I received this Windows File
Protection message. It states that necessary files have been replaced &
that original files need to be restored. It says that the location from
which the files should be copied
C:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386/controls.man is not available. It says to
insert XP KB900725 Source Files. I haven't had any success locating a fix
on MS website.
I have not rebooted since the download. I would appreciate any help on
fixing this if anyone has a solution. THANK YOU

- Windows XP Setup >> Windows XP Upgrade with OEM Full version CD?Consider this:
We have a user who has purchased a new system that came
with XP Pro OEM. Their old Machine has Windows 2000 retail
on it as well as all of their programs and DATA, they are
missing some of the original installation media for some
of their critical Apps, so a clean install is out of the
question.
I clone the disk from the old system onto the drive from
the new system, and get it running (drivers etc). I pop in
the XP Pro OEM CD, and low and behold, it will not let me
upgrade the existing system to XP Pro.
How do I get around this - The customer is licensed for
both XP Pro and 2000, so this should be a totally
legitamate process.

- Windows XP Network >> Wireless Connection Shows Connected But Acquiring IP AddressI've been asked to look at a laptop which has got a problem with the wireless
connection. The Windows wireless utility shows that it is connected to the
wireless network but it is constantly acquiring an Ip address and cannot
connect through to the Internet.
I've swept the machine for malware and I've run LSPfix (which repairs
Winsock) but the problem still remains. The problem isn't Router specific as
I've tried it with different wireless routers.
Can anyone advise?

- Windows XP Security >> Registry EditingA problem with one of my Outlook Express passwords (unresponsive to correct
passoword for one identity) pointed me to an identified problem on the MS
website directing me to edit my registry - regedt32. Though I was signed on
as a user with computer administrator ability, when I got to the next to last
step in the process - selecting "replace permission entries on all child
objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects", I received an
error saying "Access Denied" "Unable to save permission chanes on [my key
number]". I don't know how to get past this. Is there someplace I have to
go to unlock the registry?
p.s. any other ideas on how to get past this password block in outlook
express?

- customize >> Turn off nagWhen I turn of my computer it comes up since a couple of
weeks with a small window with the title: "End Program"
that wants my 'OK' to end 'explorer.exe'. I don't have
any program running at that time and don't understand
it. How can I change a possible (?) setting to eliminate
this nagging screen?

- Windows XP Hardware >> NT 4.00 workstation printer problemI have a small office network where the printer is
attached to a computer running windows xp home edition.
One of the computers in the group runs windows 4.OO
workstation and I cannot print to the printer. It tells
me that the xp computer does not have the appropriate
driver to run the printer. I go into the nt computer to
install the printer and it tells me that i need to
install the driver locally since the xp computer doesn't
have the driver. I go through the steps and it ask for
the location of the driver with an .inf extension. The
driver provided by okidata doesn't have that file
extension and the computer won't accept it. I have
searched the xp disk for this file as well as the nt
disk. Where can I find this file to get the 4.00
computer to print to the printer that is attached to the
xp computer?

"Wake on LAN" is just that. A power-on when the LAN is contacted.
There is another setting, and nomemclature depends on the BIOS, which is
for "Wake on Ring" or something like that.
Look more carefully for a BIOS setting associated with modem/phone.

Windows XP >> wake on lan
In your BIOS settings, turn off "wake on ring" and/or "wake on PCI card".

- Windows XP >> Technical problem: computer crash after clean installHi, I have a computer to repair, but I can't figure out what's the problem.
The guy had WinME and installed an "internet accelerator" software (in fact
it was probably a virus). The computer started crashing shortly after that.
I tried installing Win98 from scratch, but it crashes right after setup
reboot!
I tested the RAM with TuffTest, and it appears to be OK. I tested the hard
drive surface with scandisk, and it appears to be OK. Before installing, I
deleted, recreated and formatted the partition. The Win98 setup goes without
any problem. It reboots, shortly after, I get a blue screen. If I try to
reboot, I get all kind of random weird errors, as if the RAM was damaged...
What could be the problem???
Thanks!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> browser shutdownsI've been having a lot of browser shutdowns both IE and
Netscape and I don't know why. I've also noticed that my
system time is off. If the battery that's supposed to
keep that current is losing power can it also cause these
shutdowns? Thanks.

- Windows XP >> correcting Outlook Express Errors under XPSymptoms - Outlook Express gives error logging into server
- you know the email server is working and no firewalls are
active - yet still won't connect to server no login error
messages just - "cannot connect to server"
Create a new xp profile - it will make the profile - create
the email account under the new profile in outlook express
- it will work then go back to the original profile and
then retry outlook express - it now works. you can now go
and delete the second profile -
this step seems to scan and repair the files used for
outlook express and worked when sfc /scannow didn't repair
the files can someone explain why.

- Windows XP Network >> want to GET RID of firewallHey guys, my problem is that I want to get rid of whatever is causing my
computer to act like it's firewalled.
I'm currently studying in Japan and have ADSL in the dorms. It seemed to be
firewalled, but no one else I asked really knew much about it, so I just kind
of accepted it and moved on. But recently one of my friends in Tokyo has
gotten a new internet connection, which her computer works perfectly on and
gets amazing speed. But when I connect, it still seems I am firewalled. Using
PC Flank's scanner (pcflank.com) all my ports are stealthed while hers are
closed.
I am not concerned with security, and just want to get rid of whatever is
causing this. I am using XP Professional and do not have SP2. I have XP's
built in firewall turned off on all my network connections. I have had Norton
Systemworks 2005 installed, but have uninstalled it.. not sure if there could
be lingering settings from that. I have gone into the registry but don't know
what to look for...
Anyways I have done all I can think of. Even gone through and checked every
setting I can find and matched it with the working computer. It's very
frustrating... PLEASE help!

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> lost registry file - cannot restore system - help!I, stupidly deleted the wrong registry file and cannot
seem to remedy this situation. Configsys.exe shows up
blank, missing file... same with registry window. I
tried to use system restore to before I did this deletion
but it will not restore - what now? Any suggestions
before I have to re-install my entire operating system?
I was in the registry to get rid of internet installed ad
files.(as per step by step instructions from Norton web
site) Every time I open Internet Explorer I have to wait
about 5 minutes until the pop-ups finish before I can do
anything on line. If I try to continue before all the
pop-ups finish I encounter an error and IE has to shut
down. This is what I tried to fix in the first place!
What gives?

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> How do you totally remove a program from WinXP Pro?I used Norton's Clean Sweep to remove a program from my computer. I went to the file folder and removed the remaining files and folders, then I went to REGEDIT, and went to Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, and deleted the key for the program I wanted to uninstall. I have rebooted, gone to the control panel/add_delete programs, and it still shows in the list of programs, but it does not have an option to remove it. It just says, "Used ocassionally"
When I try to install a new version of the software that I am trying to delete, I get the message that a previous version of this software must be removed before I can install the new version. How do I remove this program from my computer completely?
