- Windows XP Network >> Multiple network interfacesI want to use multiple network interfaces in Windows XP.
I have 1 usb connection to Internet using DSL. I have a
dial-up connection to a second ISP. I have a third
ethernet connection to an internal workgroup and I want
this workgroup to share my Internet on the dial-up
interface. If I am forced to use DHCP on both of my
Internet connections how can I set my workgroup to use the
dial-up while I use the DSL from the workstation.

- Windows XP Support >> Burning file to disc and reading it on another computerMy friend has membership details of our club on MS Works 7. As he is leaving
he wants me to take over the files. He has burned the files onto a CD but I
cannot open them on my computer. We both have Windows XP, MS office 2003 and
Works 7. The dialog box says " MS Works cannot connect to the data source
that contains the data source you want to merge. The file may have been
moved, deleted or renamed.....Try to reconnect.....to try restoring the
connection to your data". His file is marked "read only" but I cannot change
the attributes.

- Windows XP Update >> Unable to update WindowsOperating System - Vista 32bit. Lenovo Laptop 3000 N100.
Consistently refusing to install 3 of the latest updates. In reading a help
article for Error Code 80070002, I renamed a directory. But I can't remember
which one. Now, I've fixed it to where my computer WILL NOT automatically
search for updates.
PLUS, I still cannot install those 3 files.
Please Help!

This began happening last year after my hard drive crashed and had to be

- Windows XP Update >> Downloads fine but get error 80072EFD on installHi,
I am running XP SP1 (do not want to install SP2 yet) and am trying to
download the following updates:
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374) [fails with errcode 80072EE2]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB824151) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Security Update for Windows XP (KB840987) [fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB834707)
[fails with errcode 80072EFD]
Q811114: Security Update (Windows XP or Windows XP Service Pack 1) [fails
with errcode 643]
I have tried to change the security settings as per postings in this forum,
but it doesn't help.
I previously tried to install SP2 but it failed, and our sysadmin does not
want anyone to upgrade to it yet. When I run windows update it goes to url
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Does that mean that some of SP2 got on
there anyway? If so, how can I remove it? It doesn't show under "Add/Remove
programs" and my build version says: "Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 (Service
Pack 1)".
Thankful for any help!

- Windows XP >> IE6 sp2 won't open pdf filesIt's been a problem for months, so I've given up...
Windows XP, all updates installed... IE ver 6, SP2...
Adobe 7 current Abode onboard.
For the past several months, no matter what I've changed, undone,
security settings changed (all the way down to 'none' and all things checked
for
on..) to security settings turned off on the CA firewall...nothing seems to
help.
pdf files are not displayed in the browser, just the placeholder..and no
error messages
or error indicators. And IE's been reinstalled twice..no good. Adobe's
been reinstalled
on its own and into IE's (through the component interface) and again, no
good.
In Mozilla Firefox though, just recently installed, adobe pdf's display
fine.
IE used to work fine with pdf's, I can't figure out what I might have
changed
to make things not work...or what combination of switches I haven't tried
yet..
Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone seen this issue in current or past
IE's..that may give a clue as well. Maybe it's not in IE itself, but
something in the
XP setup or configuration that is interfering with the pdf's being
displayed.
any ideas very welcome...is this an IE issue or a general XP setup or config
issue?
if I can narrow it down, perhaps I can find out what is actually going
on...it's very
frustrating.
Thanks,

- Windows XP >> WinXP doesn't like USB hubHi! :-)
At home, I very recently started using an externally powered Hewlett Packard
USB hub because my laptop only has three USB ports and due to having just got
a Hewlett Packard scanner that connects by USB, I have four USB connected
devices.
The problem is that if I try to start up with the USB hub plugged into a
port, my laptop will only go to just past where the Windows logo is shown on
the screen just above that animated bar, a point at which a black screen
shows and it won't go no further. When I force a total shutdown, wait a bit
and restart, I get a message saying that Windows would not start normrally,
says something about "may be because of new software" and gives me a few of
the startup options that one sees when pressing F8 on startup. I unplug the
USB port and Windows starts just fine, I plug the hub in and both it and
Windows behaves as it should.
What might be causing this problem and how do I fix it so Windows starts
just fine with the hub plugges in, just like it does when starting with my
keyboard, mouse and external hard drive already plugged in?
While I'm at it, anytime I plug my external HD in when Windows is already
started, whether it's directly, through the hub or there was a momentary
power failure, I get this "autoplay" window that appears to be scanning
through the files on my external HD. I shut it off by hitting the "cancel"
button and preceed normrally, but would like to know if there's a way to keep
it from coming up at all.
Finally, for those who may be wondering, I have a USB mouse because to me
it's so much better than the built in touchpad, an external hard drive for
storage space (my mp3 collection alone is 15G with a LOT more on the way) and
I got the keyboard when some keys on my old laptop quit working and kept
using it with my new laptop because of the extra buttons the allows me to
quickly open the programs I use most.
Thanx in advance :-)

- Windows XP >> Software InstallationsI have installed all my software on my laptop as an administrator since I
made myself as an administrator group member using Windows XP.
Now, I have a server and made my laptop to join the domain of my server.
So, it created another profile on my computer (which is not really an
issue). The issue is that some of the software that I am already using the
software is asking me to either re-install or it sometimes it installs
itself again.
Is there a way that when I install the software on any machine that this
software will be available to all users. Since sometimes, I need to work
without joining the domain.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

- Windows XP Network >> Strange Networking ProblemI have a small home network set up using a router. There is no domain; I
have a workgroup set up in Windows. It was working fine until last week.
Then it stopped for no apparent reason. I have two computers, nd running
WinXP Pro, and nl, running Win XP Home. Both can access the Internet
without problems. Both have Norton Personal Firewall correctly configured
to allow them to access each other. They can ping each other.
When, from computer nd, at the command prompt, I enter "net view \\nd", the
shared resources on nd are listed. When I enter the same command with nd's
numeric IP address, this message is displayed: "System error 53 has
occurred. The network path was not found." When, on computer nd, I enter
either "net view \\nl" or net view with nl's numeric IP address, I get a
correct listing of the shared resources on nl.
When, on computer nl, I enter "net view \\nl" or net view with nl's numeric
IP address, I get a correct listing of the shared resources on nl. When, on
nl, I enter "net view \\nd", I get the same error as above (53), but when I
use nd's numeric IP address, I get a correct listing of the shared resources
on nd.
When I view network places in Windows on nd, I see the shared resources on
nd only. When I do the same on nl, I see neither the resources on it or on
nd. Both computers can access the setup screen of the router.
I am at my wits end. If anyone can help I will certainly appreciate it.

- Windows XP Network >> Domain and worgroups on samne XP Pro machine?I hope someone can point me in the correct direction. I have a home network
comprised of 3 PC's running XP. They all tak to each other just peachy, and
all of them are wired to the same Linksys WG45T wireless router, sharing a
broadband cable connection. Here' s where the fun begins.
The wife buys a laptop. She uses this laptop at her place of work, where
they set it up on a domain system. So, I bought the formentioned wireless
router to include her on the workgroup network at home. It connects to the
router through the wireless just fine as for the Internet. However, I'm not
sure if I will mess up her domain setup if I try to set it up to see our
workgroup at home. I know the must be something about this somewhere simple,
I'm sure. But somehow I've played with this just about long enough to
frustrate myself. Anyone know of an article addressing this, or should I just
shell out another $150 for a print server so she can see my printers
Thanks for any help you might provide,
Ron

Windows XP Network >> Home Networking -- 2 Networks
Folks,
I have a Windows XP Home Desktop and a Windows XP Professional Laptop. Both
have wireless adapters and Ethernet adapters. I have set up a wireless
network from both machines to a DSLAM Subnet 192.168.1.x, 255.255.255.0 DHCP
off the DSLAM). I want to set up a second Ethernet network connecting the
two machines (192.168.2.x, 255.255.255.0 set up statically). I have a 10/100
5 Port Ethernet switch both machines are attached to.
I have run the Network Connection Wizard on the XP Home machine and can ping
both the wireless and Ethernet adapters from that machine.
I have run the Network Connection Wizard on the XP Pro machine and cannot
ping either adapter. However, when I ping the XP home machone, I get a
response from the wireless adapter on that machine. I can ping the TCP/IP
loopback from the XP Pro machine. I am sure that when I can ping the
adapters on the XP Pro machine from the XP Pro machine, all will be O.K.
BTW, the DSL network is running fine on both machines, even thoguh the XP
Pro machine cannot ping its own wireless adapter!
I would appreciate any and all help on this one.

When a computer can't ping its own network adapter, the most likely
problem is a firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, PCCillln,
etc) that has been misconfigured or incompletely uninstalled.

Windows XP Network >> Home Networking -- 2 Networks
Steve,
Thank you!!!!! I found I had a firewall turned on via Norton Security as
well as XP, so I turned the Norton Security Firewall off.
Pinging mt adapters now works and I re-ran the network configuration wizard
and the private Ethernet LAN network can see my both XP machines in the
workgroup.

You're welcome, Norm. I'm glad that my suggestion helped you solve
the problem. Thanks for posting the solution.
As you've discovered, running more than one firewall can cause
networking problems.

- Windows XP Perform Maintain >> DOS programs have slow typing response in command prompt windowRun any older style DOS program through the command prompt
window on XP and print appears on the screen annoyingly
behind the time you type it, i.e., you type about 3 or 4
keystrokes before you see anything and when screen output
does appear, all 3 or 4 strokes appear at once, and so
forth. Same DOS programs did not do this through the DOS
prompt window on 95 or 98. Interestingly, if you run
command prompt window in full-screen (e.g., hit alt-enter)
this phenonenon goes away and you see the smooth
instantaneous screen output you're supposed to. Why? How
can this be remedied?
