Hi,
I've just set up Windows Server 2003 Standard as part of my networked computers. I created a shared folder for other PCs running XP. I granted full control of the shared folder to everyone. All networed computers are parts of the Workgroup; no domain.
Now I can remote connect to 2003; I also can see the shared folder as part of the networked places on each XP machine. However, I cannot open the shared folder - my access to the shared folder is denied. What am I missing?
Best,
Jun

You need to set both the rights for accessing the share via the network and the rights on the file system.

What do you mean by setting the rights via the network?

You have already set the rights on the network when you gave Full Access to Everyone inthe Share permissions. Now you have to set the file (NTFS) permissions on the server.
If, as I suspect you are logging ion to the XP machines using local accounts the Server will know nothing about them. So set the file permissions to grant Full Access to an account on the Server and then when you connect to the share enter the user details SERVER\User + Password and check the Remembere credentials (can't remeber wha it's called on XP any more) and XP will store the username and password and present it to the Server every time it needs to access the share.

In Linux, being able to see the share and being able to access it are two different permissions, I can't recall exactly if that's the same case with Windows. Make sure that you've given permission to "Everyone" to access the share (not just be able to "see" it). Usually Windows file sharing (when you have an open share) is relatively simple, make sure something like a firewall isn't blocking access.

Hi,
what's your suggestion? what's the best ADSL router for small business? and are there any type of router which will be able to block the internet by user ID?
Thanks,
Jassim

jrahma,
I can't really answer your question because I truthfully don't know a thing about ADSL routers. However, I'd like to provide an alternative solution.
I would steer away from putting money into hardware for something like a ADSL router. Instead, just get one that can connect you to the internet and leave all of the routing, NATing, internet access control, and reporting features to a capable platform like Untangle[^].
I use Untangle at my work. We have 3 offices and I have setup an Untangle box at each site - and I love it. It can handle internet access like you mentioned, but that is a paid feature (most of the platform is free).
Hope you find something that suites your needs.

Hi,
I have noticed Microsoft has removed the Windows Installer Clean Utility..
How can I clean the setup if I am using Windows Server 2003 on 32bit?
I have installed a Panasonic PBX software and it's not getting removed.. everytime I try to remove from the control panel it says (Was removed successfully) but it's still there in the program Folders as well as the Control Panel->Programs.

You may have to manually delete the entries in the "Program Folders", which you may also want to check the All Users\start menu as well for left-overs.
Common Files is another folder to check as well. Be sure to give REGEDIT some due attention before calling it gone. These areas are usually the last place to hide for uninstalled software.
P.S. CCLeaner will make sure all the loose-ends are tied up too!
Hope this helps.

I am planning to setup a small home network with a couple of servers for music, videos, documents etc. It is also a setup for me to learn more about network programming and administration.
Since the current multiple core CPUs are used nowhere near their potential, I am thinking of replacing the hardwares with VMs.
Also I feel that this would be easy on my electricity bill and the room would be less cluttered too.
I have a few questions.
1. would you recommend that? would you do that?
2. will I be able to "manage" the network similar to managing the physical machines?
3. would the ip address of host be shared or could each vm get its own?
4. could you provide links to some similar setups?
edit: I forgot this question.
5. I am thinking of running one VM per core on a multiple core CPU. Would that be possible? I suppose yes and I would have to use Windows 7 to which a VM is just another piece of program, right? Should I bother about this in the first place?

Yes, for sure.

Again, yes. You can reach your servers as if they were physical ones. Managing your machines will be even simpler as you won't have to deal with hardware driver related issues.
bosedk wrote: 3. would the ip address of host be shared or could each vm get its own?
You have the choice for this. You can configure several virtual switches depending on your needs ; a virtual switch can be shared between the host and his VMs, it can be private or it can be shared between the VMs only.
When you setup a virtual network card for your VM, you 'plug' it to one of the switches you configured. In your VM, you will see a network card that you can configure as you want (DHCP or not, etc...).
bosedk wrote: 4. could you provide links to some similar setups?
I don't have any but I'm sure you can find some useful examples just by googling.
Regards.

When you configure your VM you can assign it the number of cores you want to, as well as tha amount of RAM that it will use.

That sure sounds like a bad debug dump since it provides no useful information. Usually internet explorer has a "safe mode" that it can be run as, try running it in safe mode, if it works, then theres a plug-in causing the crash. At that point, your best option is to just uninstall all the plugins and start fresh. If that doesn't work, you may have to download and install a fresh copy of internet explorer (current version is 9) or try using another browser such as Firefox or Opra.

I would search for complementary modules attached to IE, and deactivate/uninstall any that would seem suspicious to me.
Also a little Windows Update trip could make things in order.

Try clearing your browser history and Internet Temp Files. Is the pop-up blocker enabled, or is it trying to reuse the existing window?
Make sure the "reuse windows for..." is unchecked in the advanced tab under Internet Tools.
Let us know what you find.

Hi,
I have a windows server 2008 machine.
I want to install linux operating system on it to have both a up-and-running the same time, therefore I am looking for a FREE and good virtual machine tool?
what's your recommendation please?
Thanks..

Yoiu mighht try Virtual Box

great philip 
I didn't know virtual box has windows edition as well.. i thought it will only virtualize linux
Thanks,

I second VirtualBox. I use it at work (on a Windows host) and home (on a Linux host) and it does everything I need.
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend VirtualBox, too. I run it on a Mac without issue. Just be sure to install the kernel headers in Linux before you install the guest additions.
|
|
|
|
|
use hyper-v, its part of windows server 2008
|
|
|
|
|
Virtual box - hyper-v doesnt allow for all the different flavors of linux you might want to install.
