What about the file sharing?

XenaRule

which computer for the protocol?

XenaRule

Just realize I had another problem.

If I turn the WinMe comp on first, the Win95 does something odd. If you click on IE, it would say it's offline and you have the option of "stay offline" or "try again." if you click try again, then the internet works. Is there a reason for this?

XenaRule

This is a simple question, probably easily answered.

I have 2 computers (WinMe and Win95) connected to a Linksys befsr41 router. It works perfect but I was just wondering if I want to host a game, I would need my IP but my IP is blocked by the router.

I was told I need to set a DHCP on the comp ...

XenaRule

I had a similar problem with the Win95 comp.

To enable the file and printer sharing you need to go into the regedit, find and delete:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network
NoFileSharing dword:00000001
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows ...

There is no reason to set what type of connections you have on WinMX. That feature just tells people what type of connection you've got to allow quicker downloads.

You should get the newest version. It's a lot better then ver 2.6

XenaRule

I dont think having 2 network card is a problem. I have 2 computers. One was installed by a ShawWave tech (yes, I had broadband for THAT long) and a newer comp that has a NIC that came with the comp. Both computer connects to the net. So, I would believe there maybe a problem with your D-Link ...

XenaRule

Oh my... and I was considering leaving Rogers because I had like a few months of continuous disconnection... I could be online and suddenly, you would be going no where. Could not renew Ip address and so on. The only way to unplug the modem and plugging it back.

The problem was solves months ago ...

XenaRule

Still can't delete it. Ugh. This is getting fustrating.

I think my problem now is having this folder come up every time the computer start.

c:\windows\temp\sys32

but this sys32 folder is full of garbage like "free download" and stuff like that. The file grows when you press f5 and each files in ...

XenaRule

I tried it through DOS. It also had access is denied. I deleted the sys32 folder but it comes back up everytime I start the comp.

If I reinstall WinME, would I lose my files (other programs, ie quicken)? Or do I just overwrite the files?

XenaRule

In the troubleshooting tab it's a bunch of "Disable" instead of Enable. So, I checked the "Disable System Restore." Restarted. I still cannot delete the _RESTORE folder (it still says Access is Denied) but instead of the 2.5gig it's now a meer (sp?) 2meg... that's a freakin huge difference...

XenaRule

how do you do that?

guess not

XenaRule

I can't delete it... it says access is denied.

I can set how much the _RESTORE folder is?? I can't find it.

XenaRule

No, it didn't work. And now in the properties it says, "5 folders, 230 files"

HEEEELLLPPP!!

XenaRule

There is a C:\_RESTORE folder in the c drive. This, I take, is suppose to help backup certain files. The problem I have is the folder is 2.5gig (yes, 2500meg) big and I am 100% certain that those 2.5gig are junk. No matter what I do I get a "Access is denied." It is a hidden folder and when I look ...

XenaRule

I think you should try out both yourself.

If you have Shaw as cable provider, go for it. Their service is way better the Rogers. My neighbourhood was with Shaw until Rogers took over and I had problems until I finally got someone to come.

I haven't used Bell, my friend has it and she said it's ok ...

XenaRule

Where is it in the control panel? I can't seem to find it

XenaRule

I know IE5.5 isn't the newest... just wasn't sure if it's a good idea to go IE6...

it will try system restore... but just a question, what will it reset/restore?

XenaRule

I upgraded to the lastest IE5.5 (why? I wish I knew. I wish I didn't do it!) and now there's a "conflict" in the computer. The problem is the keyboard setting. I have 3 different languages set (Eng, Fr, and Ger) and whenever I start the computer I ALWAYS get this "Indicator: Application is already ...

XenaRule

At home in TO, Rogers is ok. If you had asked me a few months ago, I would've said it sucks so much even 56K beats it. My area was under some "main server" problem that caused my connection to hang. Took me over a month to call them and varify the problem, since that day, I haven't had any problems ...

XenaRule

I would think there isn't much difference.

I think you should try out Bell and see for yourself.

XenaRule

I have a computer at home running on Win95. The cpu itself has 2 USB port. I know that Win95 doesn't support USB (if it's OEM). I downloaded an updated patch, I'm not sure if it worked. I have an optical mouse that uses USB port (it came with a PS/2 plug) and I tried the USB port. No responds. Is ...

XenaRule

Call them and ask.

I thought XP have problem with high speed connection... because where I am (at the university residence) people who are running XP cannot connect to the net while people who had ME and had the connection THEN upgraded to XP is ok...

XenaRule

What about D-Link router?

XenaRule

well, there's another problem...
Logitech or Microsoft? Dont start debating because this will split right down the middle like cable or dsl...

I think the prices are about the same right?

XenaRule

The computer at home is still using Win95 and that's the computer with the problem.

Is it worth spending $30 on a new optical mouse (the cheapest optical mouse is what I'm thinking) IF (big if) it doesn't solve the problem? On the other hand, if it's does, then it's all good...

I wish I could get ...

XenaRule

a different mouse wouldn't work and buy a new mouse would do me no good. is there some bug or something? i still think it's some hardware problem. I dont want to spend another $30 on a new mouse. I did that already last time.

XenaRule

My mouse keep dying off! Even when I restart the computer, it doesn't detect the mouse. If I wait for a few hours later and start the computer, it detects again. Is there a reason why?? It's a Microsoft Intellimouse (it has the stupid wheel). I dont think it's the ball because sometimes I clean it ...

XenaRule

It works... typing name@rogers.com

Thanks...

now, I use Outlook AND netscape messenger. Would messenger be the same thing?

XenaRule

For the 4 way splitter... what are the other 3 for? If they're for TV. You may want to try to get an uneven splitter which could give the cable modem a better signal. I have a 3 way splitter at home and it's split into 7-7-4 (I think those are the numbers). The 7s are for the TVs and the 4 is to the ...

XenaRule

which company are you with?

My old internet provider (Shaw@Home) used to rotate IP address every few days or something like that but when Rogers@Home took over the area, I've had the same IP since.

Getting a new IP may do you no good. Who knows what the previous person did with the IP...

XenaRule

I'm having one strange problem. I did all those transistion thing for the e-mail account and stuff but I ran into a problem...

You've all got this mail that gave you a specific password (which happened to be account #) and it's suppose to work for all the accounts right? So, I follow the ...

XenaRule

From what a Rogers tech guy told me... Rogers@home had a specific IP address for each user...

Could always pay an extra $10 for an extra connection...

XenaRule

Oh yea... those pesky outages... I'm not in Toronto right now but a few weeks back we had (old Shaw area) problems and the tech guy came and found out that the problem was on their main server. It's better now and I just hope there's no outage... if it does, I am really considering Bell high speed ...

XenaRule

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Ok, other then the money! I could definitely used that for my university tuition :D :D

I think this can be a good thing at least Rogers wont be relying or @home for service or whatever. I think we'll get decent connection, finally!

What do you think? I hope ...

XenaRule

Some guy game... and he used a tester that showed that my connection is out... It's not hardware, it's the jack outlet.

damn microsoft

XenaRule

Do you know or have any clue on what could be causing it?

My connection is ok but I haven't done anything to my network card...

XenaRule

I did the DNS server... nothing!

What about the WINS Resolution? Does that have any effect?

I'll just go over to the office and bug 'em because I didn't do anything and it suddenly happened!

Thanks for you help

XenaRule

ok
I'll try that tomorrow
