- Windows XP Network >> WaveLAN weirdnessI just upgraded a machine from Win98 to XP Pro. It
contains an Orinoco Wireless WaveLAN PC card. Before
installing XP, the wireless connection has functioned
flawlessly with all other computers on the LAN for about 4
years under Win98.
Now, with XP, my connection terminates after approx 1
minute of use for no apparent reason. If I open the
network properties dialog and press OK again, the network
will work again for about a minute, then terminate, and so
on.
I can connect to that machine from another XP Pro machine
no problem. It is in another building with an ethernet
connection to a WaveLAN Wireless Access Point.
Does anyone know why this may be happening? All worked
fine with Win98. What could possibly be terminating my
connection from the newly upgraded machine???
Thanks for any help,
Greg

- Windows XP Security >> Sign on emulationWe have many remote users in our domain. Security rules bar the helpdesk
people from asking for a password if someone brings in a laptop to be looked
at or in any case where the helpdesk person would need to sign on as that

as an Admin impersonate the user, without needing their password?

- Windows XP >> Keyboard/Mouse corrupt driver XP-SP2I have a Latitude C840, XP SP2 installed and it has a docking
station. I got a wireless keyboard/mouse and went to install it.
During install, it flashed something about the new driver not signed,
and I clicked on install anyway, screen flashed, it reboots... Ok...
well, it was ok until it gets to the welcome screen, neither the
external wireless keyboard or mouse work, nor do the built in touch
pad or keyboard work.
I've already plugged a usb keyboard and mouse into external usb ports,
and get nothing.
I've booted to a live CD and they work just fine. But from the live
CD, I'm not sure what to do and where to do it?
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> What is causing this connection attempt?Recently, I've started to get messages like this popping up suddenly,
apparently regardless of what application I'm using:
"You (or a program) have requested information from isatap. Which
connection do you want to use?"
It's rather similar to the message I get telling me that my Pocket PC
is (quite rightly) trying to connect to AvantGo, using Pass Through on
my PX (XP Home). But in that case I can always just Cancel if it's not
convenient to go online at that moment.
But in this case, on clicking Cancel, usually a similar message
appears again, but this time, instead of 'isatap' (whatever that is),
it says
"You (or a program) have requested information from 207.46.156.252."
That proceeds indefinitely. I noted these addresses in each message:
207.46.244.188.
207.46.249.252.
207.46.249.252.
207.46.250.222.
207.46.250.222.
207.46.250.252.
207.46.144.188.
207.46.144.222.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what's happening here please, and how to
stop it? (In reasonably non-technical terms if possible.) I expect it
will turn out to be something I've installed and forgotten about <g>.

- Windows XP Network >> Is IIS available with Win Xp Home Edition ?Hi!
I recently purchased a Compaq Persario, for my home usage.
It came pre-loaded with Win Xp Home edition.
After installing VS.NET, I found I can't work on ASP.NET
App development as IIS is missing.
I believe, IIS does not come with Win Xp Home edition, but
with Win Xp Professional is it ?
Can anyone suggest how do I go about it ?
Now do I have to purchase Win Xp Prof or is it possible
that I upgrade from Win Xp Home to Win Xp Prof ? How much
will it cost ?
I remember on Win 98 it was possible to develop ASP apps
without IIS, is the same possible in Win Xp Home edition ?
Thanks for any help you provide.
Regards,
Vikas

- Windows XP >> XP PerformanceHi
Can anyone tell me how well Windows XP will run on a PC with the following
Specification. This machine currently runs Windows 2000, I am thinking of
upgrading.
The spec is:
PIII 500
384Mb RAM
3Dfx Voodoo 3 16Mb (will this card be supported with OpenGL as well?)
27Gb HardDisk space in total over 2 drives
CD-ROM Drive
32x CD/Writer & DVD Drive (Combo)
DVD Hardware playback card
10/100 Network
56K Modem
This PC runs Windows 2000 rather well, it is quite quick compared to Windows
Me that was on before. The only problem I have with it, is it takes ages to
boot up.
Your opinions will be appreciated.
Regards

- Windows XP Security >> svchost problemHello,
I've been trying to remove Zango and several other spyware
programs from a system running Windows XP Pro. I've
mostly succeeded with that issue (using Spybot & Ad-
aware), but in the course of doing so all the registry
entries for "svhost" were deleted. Big, big mistake I
know.
Now when the system is booted, it allows the user account
to login but says "loading personal settings" for about 30
seconds and then doesn't load the desktop icons for
another 2 minutes. All her programs return but the
toolbar doesn't load at the bottom of the screen and I can
only get it to show by selecting "desktop" from the
toolbar properties menu.
Any ideas as to where I should go from here or why it
takes so darn long to load?
Thanks for your help!

- Windows XP >> IP'sI know that you have no good reason to trust me, and most
people would not give out their IP's, but this is pretty
cool. Go to your "Start" menu and go to "Run". In the
text feild type in "net send TARGET.IP.NUMBER your
message". With this you can send a message to ANYONE with
XP as long as you know their IP number. If anyone is
brave enough, tell me your IP or at least tell me a free
way I can find out people's IP address.
