Hello. I enabled remote desktop on this old, updated XP Pro. SP3 box with the old Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5. I can't seem to get its remote desktop, from another box (Linux box using tsclient command) to connect ...

I recently set up a home network using a linksys router. The desktop is wired into the router. I have two laptops. Well, I set everything up and it works perfectly. The first time using it, I had to enter the passphrase. I did it for each laptop ...

One of my laptops (XP SP3) runs slowly and shows absolutely flat 100% CPU usage in TaskMan if it's started with networking enabled. It makes no difference if it's connected to the router wirelessly or via Ethernet. Disconnect the network, and the usage drops to a few percent in seconds. ...

I have winxp sp3 running on my Dell Mini 9.  I can connect to my own router (linksys) just fine, over wpa 2 personal, but I can't connect to my work router (netgear) which uses wpa-psk.  I get no error, it ...

Tonight for a unrelated issue I ran chkdsk /r  to check how long the procedure took to complete.  Well after that I am having MAJOR problems with my wireless network/card.  I connect to the network and everything is fine for about 30 seconds, then the ...

Hi, Generally speaking, what does it mean when the last lines of a tracert output are the same? I'm troubleshooting a network issue and found that when I do a 'tracert' to a destination address (being 'destination' any host ...

I can share my Windows XP laptop's connection with my Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 by defining the DNS servers in the settings of those consoles (I get the DNS server info from ipconfig /all). That is, either console can be connected with an Ethernet cable to my computer and the ...

I seem to recall reading somewhere that issues might be encountered if there was no hosts file with at least the localhost entry (loopback address). Obviously any apps trying to resolve "localhost" will fail, but I'm not certain if there are any OS calls using localhost. ...

I have Windows XP Home SP 3 and manage my wireless network with Wirelezz Zero. Works great--I prefer it to the utility that came from the manufacturer of my wireless equipment (D-Link.) My network uses WPA2 but when my son wants to play online with his Nintendo DS Lite, I have to switch the network to WEP.
