    Two Gateways

    @kevnich2: Thanx a lot. I tried adding a static route on the server 2 (the SAP Server), and it worked. And to be honest, it wasn't working that way yesterday. However, i am a little scared because there is so much of experimentation done, I am in fact not sure which one worked. In fact I am...

    Two Gateways

    @kevnich2: Oops, I missed out on that one. PC3 & PC4 have a default gateway of 192.168.16.1. I have corrected the diagram too. My basic requirement now is that PC3 & PC4 communicate with Server 1 & 2, i.e from PC3& PC4 to Server 1 & @. Server 1 & 2 can communicate with PC3 & PC4 after static...

    Two Gateways

    I tried adding the following on server1: route add 192.168.16.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 I can then direct traffic or ping from the server to the 192.168.16.0 network. But the reverse does not work i.e I dont get a response from either server when I ping from the 192.168.16.x network...

    Two Gateways

    @drebo: the whole network was built in piecemeals. I know that the network is not optically configured, but at present I cannot change anything. Is there any way I can direct traffic coming from the 192.168.16.x segment to the server2 at 192.168.0.242/ 192.168.1.242. Is there any way I can...

    Two Gateways

    @Lemieux66: Would that mean I will have to remove the existing gateway of 192.168.1.1 on NIC2,and then put 192.168.0.1 on NIC1 because it says multiple gateways will not function properly when gateways are on two separate disjoint networks? One more thing is that though 2 locations are shown...

    Bad NIC? UPDATE!!!

    I have faced these unusual problems with Dell laptops, the Vostro A840. Suddenly the network connections disappear, and you don't find a NIC in the Device Manager. However, you format the machine, and load the drivers, the NIC appears, but does the disappearing act again after a short while. All...

    Internet connectivity over a switch

    The network seems to be working ok. It also has a windows 2003 server, which I did not mention. The network does not use file sharing to a large extent, but uses software off the server, for which the P2P network seems to be doing fine. I tried using a single lan card for internet connectivity...

    Internet connectivity over a switch

    I don't want to put the network on DHCP for certain reasons. However I tried working on the internet connectivity by using a single lan card wherein the lan card was assigned the ip as 192.168.0.xx, a subnet mask of255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1, along with the DNS numbers offered by...

    Windows Vista Business Edition Networking Problem

    Thanx all. From the link that Rebate Monger told me to refer, the LLTD protocol seems to be the culprit. I think I shall check that up, because I don't think that LLTD is loaded by default on XP Pcs. Shall keep you all posted. Thanx for all the responses.

    Windows 2003 Server Network problem

    Dear Stash, It is a win 2003 SBS. Even the Microsoft people told me that: that the server shall shut down after a few days if assigned to a workgroup. Why is that so? I am doing the same because all the 65 pcs are configured for a workgroup. i am not sure whether other machines will be able...

    Windows 2003 Server Network problem

    I tried so but win2k3 does not allow me to specify any workgroup. It requires a domain. I even contacted Microsoft, but they say that you have to configure win2k3 with a domain. Can you explain how you have specified the workgroup. WhenI try changing from domain to workgroup, the option is inactive.

    Ethernet port not responding

    From my experience, looks like the PCI NIC (aasuming that you have got a NIC Card) isn' fully in contact with your PCI slot contacts. What you could do is remove the NIC, clean the contacts with a swab moistened with a little IPAlcohol, or alternatively rub it with a little application of WD40...

    No. of connections possible in peer to peer

    I think I may have found the answer to the" Workgroup not accessible...." error. It may have something to do with enabling NetBios over TCP/IP for XP Pcs & starting the "computer Browser" in services. I will have to wait until tomorrow though till I can practically try the same

    No. of connections possible in peer to peer

    I was thinking of a centralized file server, but that something that will take some time. I'll most probably use Samba, because my colleagues have greatly recommended the same, and in fact 3 sysadmins whom i spoke too, told me that it performs better than windows server. But thats another issue...

    Bad CPU?

    where did you get the 633 from. if you did purchase it lately, did the vendor do a display/boot check of the same. If your CPU was OK then, I think ur motherboard does not support the CPU. U could also visit the mobo site for CPU support details

    Are CD wallets really that bad?

    Cheaper wallets may damage, once ina way because they tend to stick onto to the CD surfaces. Case Logics are good. But warping, nope, not unless someone puts them in a drier.

    Speakers vs headphones

    Want a real piec of advice. Go in for the Labtec Elite 840 headphones or the Altec Lansing ATP-3 2.1 speakers. Woth your spend, because the headphone magents are rare eart. The speakers can deliver much above what can be expected without distortion.

    Shared printer on W2k can't be accessed on W98

    Check the rights on the printer sharing. Allow printing rights to everyone who uses the device. Check the Ip addresses. Must belong to the same group. I am saying this because this has created problems for me in the past. Last of all, if nothing works, put the printer on the XP or 98 machine and...
