Printer Connection

Greetings. I'm working on an older laptop running Windows 98. The printer is a HP Deskjet connected via the parallel port. When trying to print from Word or any other program, you get the error that Windows was unable to print and brings up the generic troubleshooting (check plugs, power...

Host web site at home with dynamic ip

I've never heard of registering a domain for free, so you're pretty much out 10 bucks a year. Other than that, look at the link Jack provided and see what fits your needs.

Ownership of a file

...so you've checked the open files listing on the server from Computer Management > Shared Folders > Open Files ? As far as taking control of a file, someone with administrator access could take ownership of the file and then change the permissions to allow them to delete the file.

Active Directory Question

As far as a subdomain, the admin of company.com will always have control fo subset.company.com. If you think about it, it's foolish for them not to. It really depends on what kind of control you don't want the other admins to have on your network, and what access you need to their network...

network traffic when using both wired & wireless

Essentially, separate because you are talking two different desitations. The router is going to direct the traffic from your laptop to the outside world, and from the xbox to the video server. NOw, let's say you were doing XBox live and using the laptop, then you would be sharing the bandwith...

Mapping an XP drive with win2k

Hmm. Never experienced a setup like that, so I don't know. If you don't want the XP Home machine to require a password, try setting one up and then use userpassswords2 for an automatic login. From the 2K machine, try connecting using the password you created.

Unsernv problem on users trying to log on to domain

This happens for any user that logs into that machine, or just a specific one? If it's specific to one user, I'd log in with an admin account, and rename the offending profile. Have the user log back in and see what happens. Then pull anything needed from the old profile.

Broadband connection goes down w/ inactivity

DNS Server System Log entries

It allows you to lookup addresses by IP and resove that to a name (just the reverse of "normal" DNS). If you're running a small network the setup is painless and takes about 10 seconds. If you are on a large network with multiple DNS servers, multiple IP address classes and domains -- it...

If two nics exist, can a service be only accessable on one and not the other?

To maintain available bandwidth for the primary network, you could add a second NIC to all the machines to be backed up (on their own subnet) and have those all connected to a dedicated switch along with the backup server. If security is the big issue, you can do the same but with a filtering...
