Re: [newbie] Is it time to talk scanners again?
Is what you've been doing only possible with the 2450? I can't get the slide scanner to activate with the 1260--all I get is one flash and that's it. The function doesn't recognize that I have a transparency loaded instead of a 2 dimensional print, so no joy.

[newbie] xcdroast reboots my computer
I'm running 9.1 and have been trying to figure out how to burn DVD's (I have a Sony DRU500A). Eveything I've read says that xcdroast is the best program to burn DVDs with. I installed it and ran it as root the first time (as you must) and it caused a hard reboot. Tried it again. Same result. Reinstalled 9.1. Same result. I searched the log files and could find no clues. Does anyone have any ideas? BTW I can burn CD's no problem with Gtoaster, Gcombust, Eroaster and most of the others.

Mandrake 9.1 came with two newer versions of XFree86 that do not plug and play my video card correctly and I would like to know if I can then install XFree86 version 4.0.3 (this version that came with 8.0 worked very well with my video card).

I really need some more frustration in my life. Can anyone point me to a newbie friendly tutorial on setting up a server. So far I figured out how to register my domain. We're talking real newbie stuff here. Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] NT Domain help....
Frankie; IIRC, NT would have generated SID's (Secure ID's) for each user or PC the first time each one logged onto the server. The SID contains info about the version of Windows that the PC had before you upgraded. Now that you've upgraded to XP, that SID conflicts with WinXP. You may have to delete the usernames of those that connect to the NT server with that PC, and re-enter them again. The NT server will scrap the SID'sit had for that user(s), and generate new ones for the WinXP PC as each user logs onto the domain with it. You didn't clearly state whether or the NT server is set up as a PDC or not. If so, the domain name should be an FQDN ( Fully Qualified Domain Name like hammon.com), and not just a name (Hammon). That could also be causing you a problem with log-ons. Check out those things and get back to me. A lot of this depends on how the systems logon to the server as well. If the NT server is a PDC ( Primary Domain Controller ), it actually should have an FQDN like OLDKEN.HAMMON.COM, and not just OLDKEN.HAMMON. That little difference could also be a part of the problem. You're also correct about looking into encryption. That could easily be the problem. Try creating a new username and password on the NT server, then add that user, password, and workgroup to the WinXP box, and try logging into the server with the new username. If the encrypted password is the problem, NT should give the new user a fresh SID and allow it to connect, as if the new user was using an NT workstation, and it will conclude that this PC has encryption for that user only. Try removing the XP's computer name from the Server Manager as well, and give the XP box a new name, but make the same name change on the XP box first, then reboot it, and hold it at the logon screen. Then make the changes to the server that I've suggested and proceed with your logon. While you're at it, have a look at Microsoft's web-site, and see if they have info regarding XP logons to an NT server. You should be able to narrow it down from there. The download site for NT is here; http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/ Get back to me.

[newbie] NT Domain help....
Hi guys, I have convinced a small business to upgrade their entire network. windows workstations and linux server. In order to make it easier for them, I suggested we do it in stages, workstations first then server. Anyway, the current network is an NT server with the standard 5 user licenses, and 5 win95 and 98 clients. The NT server has absolutly no service packs loaded, and its just used as a file server. Anway, today I upgraded one of the win98 clients (wasn't 98SE) to XP SP1 after upgrading the ram in the system to 256MB and the install want flawlessly. However I can't get it to connect to the domain on the NT server. I thought this might be a case of windows XP using encrypted passwords and such but a look in the MS helpfile on XP says that the default is to not do that.. is that true?? IS this likely to be the problem I am having??? I used exactly the same settings in XP that the machine had in win98. IP: 192.168.0.13 GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1 WINS: 192.168.0.1 (which is the IP of the NT server.) NAME: OLDKEN DOMAIN: HAMMON And tried to log on as the same user with the same password. After about 2 minutes, I get a message along the lines of the computer not being allowed access. or access denied. Should I need to setup a computer account on the server even though its the same machine with all the same details only XP instead of 98? If I was using a different computer account, I would (on the NT4 Server) go into Server Manager, and on the Computer menu, click "Add to Domain". Then type in the name of the new windows box, as an "NT Workstation or Member Server", but the computer is using the same name.. so I should not have to do that. If the problem is the encryption, should I disable encryption in XP or would I be better off trying to find the 6 service packs for NT4 ??? (any ideas where I could get them in a hurry?) Any advice here would be much appreciated, I can hardly remember NT4 its been so long, and most of my experiance with NT 4 server was when used with SBS. (and I never had to worry about XP back then.) I can't wait to fdisk NT and load linux on, but its a working network and I am not permitted to take it down and do the lot in one hit so I have to get XP working with the existing server first and finish upgrading the workstations. regards Franki Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
