Make sure they have "Automatic logon with current username and password" is enabled. To find this open Internet Options, Security, Custom Level, Scroll down to the bottom, and there it shall be. Another spot to check would be to change "automatically detect settings" in LAN connections in Internet Options. This has caused me grief in the past. Something worth reading, albeit it's invincible!

Change the default gateway on each card. You can give each a separate static IP address as well. Go into the IPV4 properties of each adapter to accomplish this. In the preferences of the VPN client. You should be able to choose which one to use. Or consider using the ROUTE ADD command with the address you to VPN too. Something worth reading, albeit it's invincible!

Thanks, I will give it a try. Opacity, the new Transparency.

I believe they call that a network share... As someone stated above, map a drive on each PC...you can edit the default location of the My Documents in Regedit as well. Something worth reading, albeit it's invincible!

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. -David

overloaded, I'm not exactly sure if this is what's happening - but it sounds as though you are visiting a website that uses SSL security. If that's the case, the likely cause of the security message in Firefox is because it doesn't have the SSL certificate listed in it's Trusted certificate store. Since Firefox does not use the certificate store that exists in Windows, the SSL certificate will need to be manually added in Firefox. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, uses Windows' certificate store to authenticate websites. The reason for any SSL warning is one or more of the following: 1.) The certificate for the site has expired. 2.) The certification path cannot be completed or is not trusted all the way through. 3.) The certificate has been revoked by the issuer (same as 1, but for different reasons). However, in this case it is the second reason. This leads me to believe that the site is safe, you just need to import the site's certificate into Firefox before Firefox can trust it. SSL is SSL - to my knowledge there aren't different vendor implimentations. For that reason, if Internet Explorer trusts the site then it's a good bet that it is a trustworthy site. It's probably safe to import the certificate into Firefox and continue browsing. -David PS - If someone knows I'm wrong, I'm open for correction. I'd rather not be spreading false information around :)

Hey Annie, Well I completely read the link Richard Abbott gave: MIME Type Detection in Internet Explorer[^] along with another one here: Handling MIME Types in Internet Explorer[^] and it is quite obvious that they are using a probabilistic algorithm to 'guess' the MIME type. Could you double check that FEATURE_MIME_HANDLING is actually disabled in the registry?

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.

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.

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 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? 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. No memory stick has been harmed during establishment of this signature.

Depends on how you intend to use the machine. If it's a server, and what you want virtualized inside is also a server, use VMWare. If it's a desktop, use VBox.

If I read correctly, you want to send e-mails but can't because of system limitations. This is not an Access problem. Why not FTP the document to a server, then allow the users to come get it? Send a G-Mail to all users (manual creation, probably) telling them the new report is available for review, click this link, and they can download it from there. Not much you can do, e-mail wise.

Well, Sysprep would work in conjunction with an imaging software like Norton Ghost, or if you have a Windows 2008 server license available -- you could use the Windows Deployment Services Role. Operating system is less of an issue, whereas mixing x86 and x64 bit versions can reek havoc on print servers and such. If your applications support both OS's it shouldn't be an issue, but keep in mind that Win 7 can be run in XP Mode to emulate legacy software needs. What kind of deployment strategy are they currently using may I ask? Your "IT" guy better rethink his position in the company, or go back to working at KFC. :wtf: Cheers,

Thanks for your response. I managed to get it to work though not quite sure how. I know I should have edited OP to say solved, but I forgot :doh: . Hassan
