Posted June 9, 200519 yr I am trying to connect to my home computer from work three different ways which usually work: PCAnywhere Windows IIS server and another Winsock program I wrote. When it works, all three work. When it doesn't work all three do not work. All the applicable ports are open on my router but sometimes I cannot connect remotely before a logon. So basically I am turning my computer before leaving home. It then stays on the logon screen. I can ping the IP which is entered into a DnsMadeEasy.com databas by my program and has good TTL. But like I said the problem is intermittent. I don't know if this would be an ISP problem, a router problem, or a computer problem. This is puzzeling and not sure where to look to fix it.
June 9, 200519 yr Are the programs you're trying to connect to remotely actually running at the login prompt? A user's startup programs aren't run until they log on ... -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

June 9, 200519 yr Not sure about 2000, but I know in XP, if you log off, then back on without doing a reboot, sometimes the NIC won't initiate right. It shows its there, but no signal. . .
