Hello all,
In Windows XP Pro, if you right click "My Computer" and you go to see the devices, you can modify the properties of the network card.
Once there you can set the advanced properties of the device and then you can select the "Speed & Duplex" parameter and set to a value.
In my computer it is:
10MB full
10MB half
100MB full
100MB half
Auto
Shouldn't it be 1000 MB if the network card is a 1GB capable card?
I've checked it in several computers of my company and it seems that I can only set it to 10 or 100, but not to 1000...
Any idea if it is normal?

When your computer boots and your network device drivers have loaded one of the first things that occurs is the autonegotiation process[^]. If the device driver has determined that 1000GB speeds are not possible it removes the option by setting/removing some internel capability flags.
1.) Make sure your network card supports gigabit ethernet.
2.) Check that your cables are category 6 or above[^].
3.) Check all routers and switches your to which you are connected and make sure they support gigabit ethernet.

Do you mean that if for example my router is only capable to go at 10mbps then all the network cards that are autonegotiating the speed will go at 10mbps?
This can't be true... 
Side note: Well my Windows Vista computers never transfer files at more than 10mbps to the network...

yep. the weakest link determines all.
|
|
|
|
|
But... if this is true... how can I manage it?
I mean: in my company I have some computers connected at switches at 100, a couple of old Pentiums and the router that are capable only to reach 10 and some other switches and computers at 1000.
How can I take the maximum performance of the faster computers if all of them must be in the same network?
Thank you in advance...

to get 1Gbps you must adapt some routers and cables.
computers with 1Gbps capability can communicate at 1Gbps only if all routers and cables on their direct path are capable of 1Gbps. It does not make any sense to have computers with 1Gbps capability unless the cables and routers they connect to don't have the same capability (one normally first switches the routers and their backbone, not the computers).
You can mix fast and slow computers on a fast router and get 1G between 1G-computers, and less when slower computers are involved. and you can keep slow routers to connect slow computers to the network.

There are some drivers out there, like <cough>Intel's that will not work at 1000MB unless the link speed is set to Auto. There is no option to lock it at 1000MB.

I think that this is what is happening even the drivers there are from a broadcom network card.
I've changed it to 100mb full and the network transfers to that server have become slooooooooooooow.
So I've changed it back immediately to AUTO.
Thank you for your feedback! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hello all,
After updating my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server, now another server that runs Windows XP Pro (don't ask please) has started showing me messages like: Lost Delayed-Write Data.
I've been searching the Internet in order to find a solution and what I've found is this Microsoft article[^] that speaks of a solution in the latest service pack...
I have the sp3 installed on that computer and I don't know how to improve that... any idea? have any of you faced this situation before?
Any hint is welcome...
As always thank you in advance.

Hi, I have a problem when I open a file on desktop which is Microsoft Excel 2003 format, it take me around 1 minute to open the file. It is very slow. Does anyone know what is the likely cost of the problem?
Thank,

Does it uses DDE ??
Please follow the steps :
Open Windows Explorer,
Go Tools - >Folder Options, then File Types,
scroll down to and select XLS (for Excel files),
click Advanced and select Open entry,
click the edit Button.
deselect "Use DDE"
append "%1" (include the quote marks) to the end of the application command line,
Remove /dde if it is at the end of the command line
Then click on OK three times.

Thank you very much for your reply and your solution. Actually before I post the question in this forum, I also try to search an internet and found the above solution. But I still could not fix it.
After that I try to figure it out and found that the machine that has the problem is the machine that run webshot and I also configure the rule on my firewall (ISA 2004) to block an internet access and aslo impact to that user and that lead to this problem that I figure it out.
In July 2009, my organization expereince the problem of internet disconnect because of the disconnected of the phone line, and I found that these user whose run websot also has this problem too.
Now I disable the rule in my firewall and everything is working fine. I will try to contact webshot company to find the solution of the above problem.
Thank,

Right to the issue..
I am installing an web application on IIS6 to a website that is running version 1.1 of .NET. My application is 2.0. So I run aspnet_regiis -S W3SVC/1/ROOT/App... directly on the vdir level and that all works fine. However, when I look in IIS Manager at the website level it reports that its using 2.0. Even stranger if I query the website with aspnet_regiis -lv it reports its using 1.1. The virtual directly is set up correctly!!!
Everything works, it just says the wrong version in IIS Mgr, and this is enough to cause my QA team to not release. I have fought and lost so it must be fixed. Any ideas or anyone encounter this behavior before?

hi
now a days we are seeing that the viruses are making the foldername.exe and hiding the original folder including subfolders but antivirus will detect those virus only but we have to do heavy work to unhide those folders is there any simple way or any code for unhiding all the folders including subfolders for this
|
|
|
|
|
you can make a batch file(.bat) and use <attrib> command with /s switch for current and all subfolders to set or unset files attribute.

"Microsoft File Server Resource Manager" should work fine for that purpose.
It's included in the "Windows Server Administration Toolpack" from version 2003 R2 and forwards.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm running windows server 2003 with Sp2 not R2, can I use this tool and where I could download it?
Thank

Try downloading the adminpak.exe[^] from microsofts homepage. It should be inside it.
Be aware that if you implement the quota system. It's not compatible with the NTFS Quota.

Ok, thank you. I will try.

Hi, in windows xp we can use run as command to perform an administrative task while we logon as a normal user account. My question is: is it possible for us to change an IP address of the computer with secondary log on feature?
Thank in advance!!!

This short command example sets the IP of your "Local Area Connection"
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
I hope I didn't misunderstand to much.

Thank you very much for your help. I will try that...
