File Server for Macintosh
by Guest EJS77- 0 replies
- 97 views
I have a Windows 2000 domain with some Windows 2003 member servers. One of those servers is used for file sharing to Macintosh OS X computers using File Services for Macintosh. Untill this year we were using Windows 2000 server for this. When Mac users connect to the Windows 2003 server the folders that they do not have access to disappear. The disappearing can take quite some time causing a problem sin they have access to 2 folders out of 300+ folders. This does not happen with Windows 2000 server, and it occurs with multiple servers. Is there anything that I can do?

Copying/Moving files with same name
by Guest dke3591- 0 replies
- 96 views
Hi, Is there a free application or a simple way in Windows XP, for me to either copy files from one folder to another, and if the file name already exists in the destination folder, it will copy/move and just add a (1), (2), etc. to the file name (depending on how many same name files are being transfered), and not overwrite the original? The other thing if there was a way to automatically overwrite if, for example, the source file is smaller in bytes (but not larger or equal to) than the destination, or vice versa. I have uses for either one of those copying/moving schemes, depending on what I'm working on. Thanks much.

Can not remove Internet Connection Sharing with Windows Mobile Device
by Guest Eric.E.Swanson@gmail.com- 0 replies

Hello, I used to share the connection that I received on my laptop's WiFi to my local lan; this allowed me to get a network connection on my Desktop without installing a wifi card in it. However, I've recently have not had a need for this setup. I disabled ICS by deselecting "Allow users to use this connection..." in the WLAN properites page. I've also removed the static IP from my Local Lan 1. But now I have a Window's Mobile device (Local Lan 2 -- HTC Mogul) that I use as a modem. However, when I use this device, the IP address that the laptop pulls from the Mogul is 192.168.0.*, with a 192.168.0.1 gateway and a Comcast DNS server (the Mobile device …

Windows Mobile 5 email encryption and digital signature
by Guest Lutz- 0 replies
- 662 views
Hi, I'm testing the email encryption and digital signature functionality on Windows Mobile 5 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0). My personal certificate is imported via p12import and it shows up in the certificate store. So I can encrypt messages but cannot decrypt messages nor sign messages. So I believe something is wrong with the private key. I have also configured the email encryption in Active Sync on my mobile. My cert is for all purposes. Cheers Lutz
