- Windows XP Security >> XP standalone lockdown - help!Hi All,
I need to lockdown a couple of machines that aren't on a domain -
here's the scenario:
Got a business requirement for public, "internet cafe" style net
access in a corporate setting. For a variety of legal, technical and
other reasons this isn't going to happen through our LAN, but via a
separate ADSL broadband install that is totally unconnected to our
main network. I'm anticipating a simple ADSL router and a couple of
machines connected to it - not even in a workgroup, but simply for
internet access.
What I want is to be able to nicely lockdown the clients for all users
apart from the admin. If this can be done with XP home then all well
and good - if it can be bodged with GPEDIT off a pro machine. If not,
we could get XP Pro.
I want to lockdown ability to install, hide various windows components
etc etc and this doesn't appear to be trivial.
Can anyone give a simple guide to doing this? All I've read so far
appears to involving GPEDIT much like you would on a domain, but just
on the local machine.
It's very tempting to save the licence money and stick a linux client
on but I think the punters would prefer the familiar XP GUI.
Cheers,
Ric

- Windows XP >> Interesting Licensing QuestionWhich by the way hasn't been covered, or I just missed it in the past 3
years.
We all know you can use an upgrade version of XP if you own a previous OS
like 98, and are only required to put the disc in to verify, then XP will
install.
Now, what is the status of that Windows98 disk ? Can it still be used for a
PC installation ?

- Windows XP Support >> Wha's up with KB928366For over a month my computer has been updating this KB update. Finally,
tonight I went and found a removal tool for it in hopes that the next time
it updated would be the last time it updated.
WRONG! Or rather....now it won't update at all.
How do I get my computer back on track.
XP ver 2
Thanks!

- Windows XP Security >> Connet to Pasword overwrittenIn the past couple days, something has been overwriting
the stored password used to connect to my ISP. I can
connect by typing over the password but even checking the
save password box still cause the mystery password to show
up again netx time. I tried deleting the current
connection and setting up a new connection to no avail. I
also created a second and third connection adn the same
myterious password shows up each time. I have run a
complete virus scan using the latest Norton software and
did not uncover any hidden viruses.
Any ideas?

- Windows XP Hardware >> Computer powers off randomlyMy PC will powers off randomly. There is no one function that causes it. I
can be running a program or sending an email or it could be sitting in an
idle state with no running processes and shuts down. Sometimes it will run
for days and sometimes it will only stay on for 20 minutes or so. Pressing
the power button will not restart the computer unless I first shut off the
power supply switch for a period of time.
My system is a three year old ABS.
Windows XP Home SP1 all updates.
AMD64 3400
Award F11 BIOS
Gigabyte, GA-K8N PRO Mother Board.
Fortron 530watt ATX power supply.
Coolermaster cooler
What I do not think is causing the problem.
I have clean and steady input line power off a Conext UPS.
I am virus and spyware free.
The system is clean and dust free.
All the fans are running.
If I monitor CPU temp in the BIOS it is good (32C - 35C).
I inspected the MB capacitors they all look good.
Checked all power connectors and cables.
Voltages reported good in BIOS (when I looked.)
Ran disc check no errors.
What may be causing it.
Bad temp sensor on MB - are there any work arounds, something I can shut off
in the BIOS to check this?
If my cpu cooler fan stalls for a split second and starts again will it
cause the system to shut down?
Broken ACPI, can it cause shut down issues, can it be disabled (in device
manager)to check for problems?
Possible bad power supply, why do I have to shut the switch off on the power
supply to get the system to power up after a failure?.
May be coincidence but the problem seemed to begin after a Windows update
a month or so ago.
I am still on SP1 I was going to update to SP2 when this problem began I do
not want to be in the middle of a op system update and have a power down.
When I view the event log nothing seems to be reported around the time of
shut down that is related.
Any help would be appreciated before I spend the big bucks I don't have for
tech support.

- Windows XP >> patin couffin access layer will not uninstallI have been trying to uninstall the patin couffin access
layer which is packaged with the Blind Write suite, and I
was able to do this successfully on a Win 2000 Pro
computer, however my XP home computer is not showing it in
the usual places in the device manager, even when "show
hidden devices" is checked.
If anyone knows where the hardware access layer files
would be stored within the windows directory, it makes
sense to me that i could try and manually delete or
uninstall them from there. does this sound possible???
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows XP Network >> Networking with XP
I have three machines running XP, one is running XP Home
and the other two are running XP Professional. They all
are connected via a router sharing cable connection and
they all can share Internet connection with DHCP present.
All computers have the same workgroup name MSHOME, and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
However, the XP Home cannot be viewed in the Workgroup on
both of the other XP machines. The only way the machines
can be accessed is if I click Start, Run and type \\<ip
address>. What could be wrong? The XP Home machine
doesn't seem to show in the workgroup, yet the other
machines show up just fine.

1. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:
Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm
2. Run "ipconfig /all" and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of
the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be
"Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the computer only
uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network
for NetBIOS name resolution.
If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:
HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters
and delete these values if they're present:
NodeType
DhcpNodeType
Reboot, then try network access again.
If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".
For details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
Default Node Type for Microsoft Clients

Windows XP Network >> Networking with XP
Steve,
Here's what I got. I'm little confused about this node
type stuff. I'll give you the results and you can
hopefully explain this to me.
Windows XP Home
Node Type: Unknown
NetBios over TCP/IP enabled
Windows XP Pro
Node Type: Hybrid
NetBios over TCP/IP enabled
Windows XP Pro
Node Type: Hybrid
NetBios over TCP/IP enabled
The XP Pro machines do not have any trouble. The XP Pro
machine don't see the XP Home machine and can only access
the Home machine by typing the ip address into the Run
box. Should all of these machines be Point-To-Point for
the node type?
I would appreciate your help. Thanks and have a good
Christmas holiday.

Thanks for checking all those node types, Sam.
None of the machines should be Point-to-Point. Hybrid and Unknown
should both be OK, but not optimal. It might help to set the XP Home
computer's node type to Mixed.
But before doing that, double-check the NetBIOS setting on that
computer, making sure that it's set to "Enable", not to "Default".
While you're on the WINS tab of the TCP/IP properties, remove any WINS
addresses.

Steve,
I did double check that XP Home machine. It's not set to
default and is set to "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP", and
there is no WINS addresses. I thought restarting the
machine would help after making the changes, but it
didn't help. I didn't restart the XP Pro machines yet,
but now it looks like I need to change the Node type
to "Mixed." as you pointed out to me.
Can you tell me how to accomplish this task?

Never Mind, I set the Node Type to "Mixed" and restarted
the machine and looked at the ipconfig/all results. Can
you think of anything else?
What now Steve? I'm still having problems

Windows XP Network >> Networking with XP
Steve Winograd, I finally figured this out.
The workgroup name was different. On the XP Home machine,
it was MSHOME (default for XP) but the other XP Pro
machines were changed to WORKGROUP. I changed the XP Home
machine and now all the machines show up in the
WORKGROUP.
The Workgroup names are now the same. I don't understand
this because Windows is supposed to support multiple
workgroup names reguardless of them being different and
should show up.

Thanks for the report, Sam. I'm glad that you solved it.
Windows does support multiple workgroups, and a computer in any
workgroup can access a computer in any other workgroup.
When you click "View workgroup computers", only computers in your own
workgroup appear. To see all of the workgroups on the network, press
the Backspace key.
"Start | Run | \\Computer" should access a computer, regardless of
what workgroup it's in. The only exception I can think of is when
there's no browse master in that computer's workgroup.

Thank you so much. You are awsome.
I have never found this anywhere on the Internet and I'm
glad you've pointed this out to me. This should be
covered at Practicallynetworked.com. I'm going to have to
save this for future reference.

- Windows XP Update >> Updates were unable to be successfully installedMy computer is set to receive automatic updates, but I noticed a gold color
shield within my system tray indicating that "Updates are ready for your
computer" for Office 2003 Service Pack 2.
The updates go through the entire download, but in the end a blue pop-up
appears stating "Updates were unable to be successfully installed" indicating
that "The following updates were not installed: Office 2003 Service Pack 2".
I have used the Microsoft Update link on my computer and downloaded the
updates from the Updates page to no avail ... it fails to install.
Any solutions?

recently had problems with Earthlink software and Norton,
and ultimately had to have a tech delete it (Earthlink)

I reinstall my OS or Office programs,and if I do will I

- Windows XP Network >> XP / 98 networking issueAnti virus programs sometimes limits the ability of
Windows 98 computers to see Windows XP users on a
Microsoft client network. You can try adjusting the level
of protection of the local network setting. Removing the
protection will surely allow you to see the XP computer
but you then should have a router to protect your
network. I disabled Zone alarm yesterday when I couldn't
see our new XP server. I have not yet tried to adjust the
settings on Zone but may not as we have a router that says
it blocks unauthorized access (emails may still be a
problem to be looked at).
Hope this helps the other postings with 98/XP issues.
