RE: satellite connection
The offering from Radio Shack / MSN is the same service as Starband, but they make you buy the complete computer. They don't want to be liable for computer problems. The Starband Offering uses a USB box, to act as transmitter and receiver. Goes to a dish that does 2-way communications. DirectPC - the Hughes satellite offering - had for 2 years offered Sat Downloads, with a 56K modem for uploads. They are now offering 2-way communications - with SAT both ways, but are much more restrictive on what you can use it for. Hope this helps. Dennis -Original Message- From: Joe L.

RE: Using W2K RAS to connect to a Novell 5.1 Network
We have the Novell Client active on the remote machines - installed and selected at boot time. When a remote user starts up normally, it does not see any Novell Servers, so it goes to sleep. When a remote connection is established, it will see that there is Novell Traffic on the connection, and bring up your Novell Login automatically. You then log into your tree and away you go.

Michael Ellis -Original Message- From: Richard McClary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 8:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: NAV-CE updates I have a continuous fight with NAV-CE 7.5 trying to get definition updates. My main LiveUpdate Administrator faithfully downloads updates each and every night (according to the logs). Now, I have two servers. From each one, I can go to the support area (in the console) and download definitions. I can even run the update. However, each server (as well as all the clients) still show the old definition on the console (as well as on the NAV client app when opened). I went through this back in AUG, so definitions went from early AUG to 22-AUG. That's where they are now. From the server consoles, I jump through all the hoops to which I am pointed to force updates to both servers and all clients. The consoles claim to have updated them, but I still see 22-AUG. Furthermore, in the NAV logs and in the W2K Event Logs, I NEVER see update errors! One thing more - if from one of the consoles I try to run LiveUpdate (looking to the LUAdministrator machine) from the NAV app, it goes through the sequence Looking for update, etc, then when it gets to Installing the update, it hangs. The hour glass stays there, and the animation continues indefinitely. (In the Task Manager, I do not see it running as an app, and I can't identify it as a process. CPU and RAM usage are low.) Again, no change in definition versions. Yes, I've looked through the books and the Symantec KB. AAARRRGGGHHH! -- Richard D.

I have family that work there and in Battery Park. There are usually 50,000 people in the two towers. Start time is normally 8:00 AM for many, and this was 8:50 AM, so many would be there. It would take over 2 hours to evacuate each tower - working together.

I did a search at Microsoft for create \winreg, and STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND, which is equivalent to a win32 error of..
