- Windows XP Setup >> problem with DSL and dial up modem after RegeditI spent almost 90 minutes trying to help a friend solve a computer
problem. The friend has two computers, a desktop and a notebook. They
swap a DSL direct connection by plugging and unplugging the cord to the
DSL modem. The problem is that the desktop no longer can access DSL,
or dial out with its 56k modem. The friend suspects that an improper
usage of Regedit when certain lines flagged by the antivirus program
were deleted instead of modified. Unfortunately, no backup export of
the Registry was made.
I did a cursory search for troubleshooting modems on the Internet. The
home computer was working fine one day, and then the next it was not.
So far the only symptoms are problems with the modem and DSL. The
device driver is there. Running a modem test from the Device manager
shows it there. Yet, it can not do something so simple as dialing out
using the phone dialer in the accessories folder, much less dialing up
for Internet. The error message is no dial tone. If wait for dial
tone is disabled, the modem looks like it keeps trying to dial out, but
I don't think it is doing so. (The sound is turned off.)
It may be a hardware problem, but modems rarely fail just for nothing.
There are no cats or pets to dislodge the wiring. Also the DSL modem
works fine for the notebook, but not at all for the desktop, so there
is definitely something up with the desktop. Thanks for any
suggestions. I am tempted to go for the panic button and do a fresh
install of Windows, but there must be intermediate solutions to try
before the scorched earth solution. I will do more research, but I may
be in over my head.

These tips should help:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection
Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a
direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all
other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:
Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.
htm
2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If
the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer
Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:
Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_prot
ocols.htm
3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all
computers.

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

- Windows XP Update >> That infamous KB936357 update for Intel chipsI haven't had any problems except perhaps an increase in red alerts in my
Event Viewer from 1 or 2 to 4 or 5/day, but that could be other factors.
My concern is that I allowed it in to both my XP Pros and my Vista Ultimate
(I triple boot) and I have a mere Pentium 4 HT @ 3ghz...not a Core-2 Duo
etc. etc.
Should I uninstall it or leave it?
The wording of the KB is nebulous saying Intel processors, particularly
Core-2 Duo. so should I be concerned or not?

- Windows XP >> Hijacked homepage in EI 6I'm one to try something new and at time it get me into trouble. I
downloaded the Beta version of IE 7 and installed it. I didn't like some of
the bugs and followed the instructions on removing it. The removal seemed to
function correctly. After reverting to Version 6 I noticed that every time I
started IE 6 up by clicking on either the icon in the Task Bar or in the
Start button dropdowns, instead of opening up on the home page that I
specified , it opens up to the Microsoft Update Page. When I change the Home
Page in Internet Options in the Control Panel to what I want and re-open IE
6, it reverts back to Microsoft Update Page. I have not got the faintest
notion as to what is going on. Has anyone run into something like this? Any
help would be welcome.

- Windows XP Security >> Power Users GroupI wonder if anyone can help me with this problem on which
I did get some advice as detailed below. Unfortunately
this seems to have come to a bit of a standstill and I
wonder if anyone can revive it a little for me.
The previous postings were:
Thank you for your prompt response to my enquiry to the
Microsoft News group. It was indeed helpful. I located
the Power Users as you advised and added the new user to
that group.
However I then started to get into difficulty.
When I looked at "User Accounts" through the Control
Panel the new user was shown as having "Unknown account
type" and when I went further to try and use an Access
application I was told I only had "Read Only" authority -
the same that I get when accessing from a user with
a "Limited Account" account type.
I have tried all the different variations I can think of
to get round this without success. I wonder if I could
trespass on your goodwill by asking if you had any
suggestions. I will be very grateful for any help. With
my thanks in anticipation and best regards

- Windows XP Setup >> can't see network folderhi!
I have a wired problem. I am connected over a basic network ( i think it is
called peer-to-peer).
The manner in which the computers are connected is as follows:
1) The main computer is an XP Professional.
2) The other computers are win 98, win 98se, and one XP home (thats me).
The network is to help us share files and printers and the internet
connection. The funny prat is that I am able to acess the internet, use a
lan messenger program and communicate with other users. But i am not able to
access the shared folder on the Main computer.
When I try and ping to this address i get a request time out.
Can someone enlighten me to the problem.
Thanx
Nelson.

- Windows XP Network >> Sharing files when not on the domainWe have laptop users that need to share files when not on the domain. They
are in client's offices working on the same project. When in the office, they
can share files between laptops. I am sure it has to do with domain
authentication but when they are not in the office, they do not have access
to the domain. Some of the laptops can see each other and their respective
shares but are denied access.
Is there a way to make this work?
