I am having problems with a workstation that resides on a WIN2K domain. During installation of LM8, it detects the NIC, and I specify that I want to use dhcp. I then specify a printer hanging off the server, and it prints the test page correctly. So far so good. However, as soon as I try to log...

Does anyone know how to mount NTFS partitions in Limux (I'm using LM 8)? I've tried using the terminal command line and Linuxconf, but to no avail. It seems to support every other conceivable format, so why not NTFS? Someone in another thread did supply a link to an article on a web site, but...

Mr. Mojo, Which flavour of VMWare. I went to their site earlier today, and it looks mighty expensive - save for the Express product. Cheers.

Thanks everyone. I was afraid of that. Looks like I'll leave the server as it is. I'll just have to build an el cheapo Linux box and go from there.

I'm about to load Linux Mandrake onto a couple of machines and a server(?) that are running WIN2k Pro and Avanced Server respectively. Can Linux see NTFS partitions, and more importantly for the server, Dynamic Disks? Each machine has a separate HDD that is FAT32, and I was going to install...

Twice a day I get a warning and error message in my event log that tells me my Win2K server can't synchronize the time with an external source and that some resources may not be available. I've read that certain resources in a WIN2K/NT PDC are time critical, and won't work properly unless Win2K...

You've set up your ME machine to allow internet sharing on it's connection, not the Linux box's. Disable ICS on your ME box. Then, go into Internet options | Connections, and tell the ME box to connect to the net via your LAN, and to auto detect the proxy settings. If the NIC in your ME box has...
