[H] Online FTP sites
Anybody try XDrive? It is a online FTP drive, this has been done before, but never 5GB free and 50 GB for 100 a year. Plus it is offered by AOL, which means it won't go away any time soon. I have been uploading by Data backups to my Godaddy hosted site, about 3 zip files of 6 GB , every month. But last week they told me I had a File Repository and made me remove them... which sucks since I have been doing this for 7 years without any problems. Now I am looking for a online FTP account... anybody know anything about these?
Re: [H] XP Pro asks for password when mapping drive
I think the mapping method from My Computer that allows you to save the name/password is present in XP Home as well as XP Professional. One problem with the "reconnect at logon" (persistent drive maps) option is if the host system with the shared folders is offline Windows will show an error box on logon that indicates the path wasnt accessible and something like an ok/cancel choice to delete the mapped drive. The user unknowingly deletes the drive map and then they cant get in at all until the mapped drive is recreated. If you use a logon script with the net use command it will always map the drive at startup and its harder for the end user to mess up something that couldn't be fixed by a reboot. If you'd rather not run the command at startup you could just make a batch file to run the command. Since I do work at a lot of small offices that are just peer-to-peer its common that these sort of quirks will occur. I will type the commands into notepad and save it as FixDrives.bat in the %systemroot% folder of each workstation. Next time the phone rings and I'm troubleshooting I can tell them to enter "fixdrives" in Run or at a command prompt. -Tharin O. FORC5 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: any idea if this works in XP Home ?

Re: [H] IP stuff?
J, Thanks for the info re netstat.exe. For the past 2 days I have been scratching my head about your reference to the -b switch. In the w2k version of netstat, the -b switch is not present. I did find the -b switch in the XP version of netstat.exe. And the xp version does show more information than the w2k version. To bad the xp version does not work on w2k. Tried it this am. No problem. From what I am seeing in netstat, all my clients and the server are opsnorml for now. Thank you for your help.

Re: [H] XP Pro asks for password when mapping drive
Many ways to go about doing this, generally this a permissions issue on the machine hosting the shared directory. Try mapping the drive from "My Computer" using Tools > Map Network Drive. Fill in the appropriate share path then click the text link that reads "Connect using a different name" you can enter a different username/password there. If you check the box to reconnect at logon it will continue to map the drive after a reboot. The command for creating shares is "net use", its good for scripts or autostart stuff. net use [DriveLetter:] "[\\ComputerName\ShareName]" password /user:username net use N: "\\computer-1\thanes warez" foobar /user:foo -Tharin O.

RE: [H] Fwd: Help!
I remember Kevin coming all the way to the US to buy a RT314 when we did a West CON many years ago. I believe it was Duncan, Harry, Kevin, Fred and I.

Rick, I used an Intel hub for ~2yrs after the x-over cable until I was convinced on this List to dump the hub and move to a switch. Switched and never looked back! Yes, I now use switches that have the uplink ports and I use the uplink function now because I now have my two switches in "series" between my computer room and the back of the house. Works very well. I salute you! I've been an Intel nic fan-boy since my testing in 1997-98. Have never used anything else. Intel nics always find the best way, and, always get through whatever "hash" I may create. And, my old rt314 router has the uplink port also. Plan to use it again if/when I put in broadband again. We are having a mini-price war here now that AT&T has moved it and camped.
