    Are We Getting the Bandwidth We Pay For?

    Nope. AT&T DSL says "up to 3Mb/s" download, so I usually get ~2.2Mb/s. Same thing when I had "up to 1.5Mb/s", I'd get around 1.1Mb/s.

    looking for ps2 4-player rpg

    Yeah, I agree with you on that, which is why I didn't start out by asking for "rpg", instead I want a "hack-n-slash". But thanks everyone for your suggestions!

    looking for ps2 4-player rpg

    Gauntlet might be a good choice... but *ugh* (http://ps2.ign.com/dor/objects/14940/gauntlet-dark-legacy/images/gdl_10.html). My phone looks better. lol EDIT: What about other platforms? Xbox, ps3, wii - anything like these games with 4 players (on a single console)?

    looking for ps2 4-player rpg

    Got a few friends that like to come over for some hack & slash goodness. Already played Norrath 1 + 2. I can't find anything else for PS2 that's 4-player. I saw Marvel Ultimate Alliance was also 4-player, but I'd like to keep it more daggers and less laser beams. My first thought was BG2...

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    If it helps, I finally got my GPO to work correctly. I was processing that script to run against the computer, instead of the user. As soon as I put it as a "LOGON" script, rather than a "STARTUP" script, that did the trick.

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    Ok, finally got the .vbs script to do what I wanted (create a Network Place to \\server\%username%, then make a desktop shortcut). Here's the code: Const NETHOOD = &H13& Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder =...

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    Ok, I found some code to steal from Microsoft's Scripting Guy :-) Here it is: Const NETHOOD = &H13& Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(NETHOOD) Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self strNetHood =...

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    Thank you everyone - good suggestions here. Mapping a drive might work, but I'd like it better if I just created a desktop shortcut (or network place) instead. So if user1 logs in to any computer in the directory, a shortcut to "//server1/user1" is on the desktop. User3 would see...

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    That could work... but I've got users all over the place, and some use several computers. I'm hoping to setup a logon script or something similar.

    How to force folder onto Desktop with Active Directory?

    Hi all, I'm tasked with providing a shared folder on every user's desktop on login to the Directory (AD 2003). It will be a remote server (//server1/user). Am I going in the direction of roaming profiles here? The folder structure already exists on server1... I just want to the shortcut to...

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    Ok I believed I solved this issue (again! ha!). I found a registry setting under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Polices\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient It pointed to the "internal work" DNS servers. I deleted it, and now nslookup polls the correct server (my dynamically obtained DNS...

    No, the TCP/IP properties for my wireless connection are all dynamic, and it obtains "off-site" DNS settings dynamically.

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    The GPO that caused this was custom (we set it up to control Windows Firewall) and it applied to a large part of the organization. It had been working fine for years. I enabled configuration of DNS servers under this area: GPO->Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Network->DNS...

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    I wanted to post an update on my latest progress... I may have spoken too soon with regard to the add/remove from the directory fix. I tried it on another computer, and still the problem persisted. I even deleted the computer object out of AD, and when it was re-created upon re-joining the...

    Removing it and re-adding it to the domain seemed to work. It'll be a pain to do that for all the affected users, but better than not even working. Thanks for the suggestion!

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    For me, ipconfig/all showed the DNS settings of the local LAN, but it never actually used them. I wanted to also post an update to this problem: The computers that were added after this problem started are able to browse without a problem. I believe there was some update or policy that I...

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    Yeah that's the plan, but I must've done something screwy. I do set DNS through DHCP... I think I was just testing a setting or something. Now the policy is stuck or something. Is there a way I can see settings changed through GPO for a given AD member computer?

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    "Correct DNS settings", as in they dynamically are assigned whatever IP/DNS settings from the network they're on (Cable/DSL, Hotel, etc.) But every offsite Active Directory member computer acts like they have an "internal work" DNS server (10.x.x.x) set, since they are unable to successfully...

    GPO forced DNS client settings

    Ok this one started easily enough... I was working with some GPO's in Active Directory, and I must have set the DNS client to force some of our DNS servers. I disabled that setting, but because I forced internal (10.x.x.x) IP's, when a member computer is offsite, they are unable to contact the...

    Motherboard on fire, yay! Did I ruin anything else?

    Installed the new motherboard today, so far everything is fine. Had to re-install XP of course, and why is it that I remember to slipstream SP2 during the install, when it's too late? Anyway, looks like I'm in the clear. Thanks all for your help and suggestions.
