Why don't you setup DHCP on the router and DC? This is called split scope configuration: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757346%28WS.10%29.aspx On both DHCP servers, hand out the DC DNS first and the routers DNS second. It is important that the DC DNS is first in the list so...

Although I wouldn't rule out this being possible, I would personally just re-install Windows. It means you have a clean install and guaranteed no legacy drivers are still installed in the system (and save yourself the heartache of BSODS). Windows XP installs very quickly on the latest hardware...

I had a similar problem with my QNAP TS-509. The fixed you detailed was the workaround. It's since been fixed with a firmware upgrade. I would ensure you have the latest firmware installed.

You can do it using the standard ADUC tools. There are two ways you can do this,: 1. Click on the Group and go to the 'Managed By'. Choose the name of the user to manage the group and ensure 'Manager can update Membership list' is checked. OR 2. Click on the Group and go to the Security...

Some best practices to follow is to rename the Administrator account to something else. Create a new administrator account with just Domain User privileges. When creating service accounts, restrict their logon to the servers that need to run under the service. You can do this via ADUC...

Can you update the BIOS with a DOS flash tool? Create a USB/CD boot disk and try it from there.

Check the NAS case, you might be lucky to find the MAC address written down somwhere. Alternatively, connect the NAS and PC to the switch and ensure they are on the same subnet. Ping the NAS from your PC and ensure you receive ping replies. Open up a cmd prompt on your PC and type arp -a...

Desktop icons moving has happened lots of times to me. It usually occurs when games change screen resolutions. There are tools to which snapshot icon positions on desktop. If you have Windows XP...

+1 It really baffles me why IT management can't see this simple equation. I see it all the time and I just work in IT support. Money not spent now will cost much more if the company has a disaster.

sorry double post

I find it hard to believe a backup solution hasn't been included in the project budget! Although today's SANs have very high fault tolerance (multiple shelves, RAID6), they just complement a backup solution and don't replace it. What would you do if you lost the SAN due to flood or fire? Or...

Install Logmein free onto the server and connect to it via your webbrowser. The beauty of this solution is that its free and you don't need to open any ports on your firewall. www.logmein.com

It is annoying and it probably increases the load on the processor. The is a problem with the HDCP in the ATI Driver. I think I'll just buy a Geforce 210. The heatsink on the Evga model looks massive. Does anyone know if this will fit the Shuttle SG33G5M case?

Thanks for the information. Is this card up to playing 1080p content smoothly? Does anybody want to suggest an alternative before I purchase? I mentioned I needed fanless but I'm I open to a HS&F as long as its low power and quiet.

Excellent explanation on IPv6 :) This all makes sense now. If you choose local host for each VM, then they still appear on the same physical (virtual) network. You couldn't ping by IPv4 due to incorrectly setting up the IP addresses but you could ping IPv6 due to the reasons in branddaly's...

Change the speed and duplex settings on the NAS and router if possible. Try changing the settings to 1000/Full or Auto/Auto.

I would perform a system restore to take you back to before you had the problem. Then run Norton Uninstaller tool from here: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080710133834EN&ln=en_US Instead of installing Kaspersky, try Microsoft Security...

Find rest of the system spec in another post I made about the Green screen problem: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=17287677 I've tried very old CAT 8.x drivers and the problem goes away. Recently though, the latest Windvd/PowerDVD refuses to play Bluray with old drivers...

I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for my HTPC. It must be capable of - PCI-E - MKV/Bluray Playback - HDMI with onboard sound - Low Power & Fanless - Nvidia brand - Budget £50-£100 I don't want to go down the ATI route because I've had nothing but problems with my HD4550. Black screen on...

Dave np, I know how difficult it can be learning networking when first starting out ;) You don't need to create any static routes because the router is directly connected to both subnets so it knows how to route between the two networks. If you introduced another router then you would...
