- Windows XP Network >> IP address assigned to Dial-up ConnectionAfter creating an incoming VPN connection on a XP Pro PC
I notice that when I check my adapters and IP's
using 'ipconfig /all', I see an additional IP assigned to
the PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial In) Interface. Is this
refered to as a 'virtual adapter'? The other IP address
accociated with this PC is listed under the NIC adapter.
This IP is statically configured on the XP Pro. What is
really puzzeling me is on the menu (IP addresses served)
of the router that issues the addresses DHCP, I see that
the same PC has four IP addresses that have been assigned
to it not including the static IP on the machine. When I
make the VPN connection I notice under the 'details' tab
in the 'properties' of the connection that two of the
IP's are listed, one as server and the other as client.
All in all there are five IP's aasociated to one PC that
has one NIC adapter and a Linksys switch between it and
the router issuing IP's by DHCP. The DHCP pool contains a
limited number of IP addresses that are public type
addresses. Whatever is taking place is using up more
addresses then I would like. Is there any way to reduce
the number? Thanks.

I have a folder containing a bunch of shortcuts that point all over my hard

or briefcased so maybe i could attach a photo without
having to spend the better part of my wits end searching

to sacrifice to get the lazy scanner to wake up to the
fact that it is not the only dancer on the stage-i am sure
that it is i who is mising the turn somewhere but i am
dewperate i have looked everywhere trying to get someone
to tell me what to do about this but i guess it is so
basic that no one eslse could make this oversight.

- Windows XP >> Multiple Troubles (IE, ActiveX, DirectX)Having the following problems:
IE will not do anything involving cookies (email, etc)
IE reports that ActiveX settings are wrong
IE will not reinstall with file from MS
DirectX 9 will not install (fails to copy file)
Possible Clue:
Message comes up and says that IE and ActiveX aren't "XP
approved," (when trying to install them) despite the fact
that they come from MS.
I've tried adjusting all my security settings, nothing
works. These seem to be related problems, but i can't
figure out exactly what the issue is, and I'm using
Netscape for the time being, which seems to work. Let me
know if any of you have thoughts.
Thanks!

- Windows XP Support >> Obtaining an IP address at startupI have a new dell with windows xp. When I boot it always defaults to the
default IP address. I must do an IPCONFIG /release and renew in order for it
to obtain the IP (not static) from my ISP.
This happens with our without my router. I think I have checked all the
settings for my network connection but do not see an issue.
I have other computers on the same network and do not have an issue.
Thanks

- Windows XP Support >> how to reduce the running processeson my PC cidamon.exe is running twice & many other programs which i am not
aware are also running as shown in task manger.The count is 40 at the moment
when the PC is just booted.
Ideally speaking we do not need to plug & play all the time with device
similary we are not doing many things for which windows is ready in default
mode .
Can we not reduce this payload on windows ?
thanks for your time

Windows XP >> No System Checkpoints - Why?
Hi - My System Restore has stopped issuing regular System Checkpoints. They
used to be created about every 2 days. It seems to have stopped when I
updated to Adobe 7.08. I also found QuickTime didn't work either and had to
reinstall it!
Also when I download anything now, the date the file was created is always
the date it was downloaded, why is this happening? - Thanks for any info
regarding these two irksome problems. - Andrew.

- Windows XP >> Serial to USB: Drivers not acceptedI have been trying to connect my old Palm PDA to my new computer, which has
only USB ports. I have purchased a Serial-to-USB converter cable, and
obtained the drivers for that cable. I have also downloaded the USB driver
for XP from the Palm site. When I try to connect the PDA to the computer,
and the hardware installation wizard comes up, I have directed it to either
the Palm or other proprietary USB driver folder, and get a message saying
that the hardware will not be installed because the required software is not
in the folder. What can I do to get XP to recognize either of these drivers?
Or does XP have its own serial-toUSB driver that I am supposed to be using?

- Windows XP >> Need HelpHi,
I have a P4 2.66, 512mb ram, 40gb maxtor hd with Windows
XP Professional SP1 installed. The computer is not even 2
months old and at least 4 or 5 times throughout the day
(totally random) a black box will appear on the screen
with yellow text in it that says "Off Mode in 5 Seconds"
and then the computer shuts down. I am able to start it
back up again and it could run for 90 min or more before
it happens again.
Any Ideas?

- Windows XP Network >> Wireless security problem.Hello,
I have a mshome network thru a hub with on attached via a wireless
gateway which also is a gateway to the Internet.
I have tested security from the internet and the firewall is fine and my
network can't be seen however..
I had a friend over with his wireless laptop and he was able to get to
my network via Network Places etc. I had to tell him the network name,
still it registered as insecure.
In Network properties I set the Wireless connection using the WEP with
windows giving the security number automatically and it says it is
secure, but obviously isn't.
How do I secure my wireless network with XP?
Thanks
