No, each workstation will have a private address (192.168.0.x) and the server will have the only public address. Or at least this is how we used it then. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu Re: NT Server and Sharing Internet Venet30-Jun-02 4:32 Venet 30-Jun-02 4:32  I always thought Address Translation from Public IP to a private one (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x) is done at the router level, not at the application level. Do you have a router as well on your network that does address translation?

Yeah, but with NAT-ing TCP (and IP AFAIK) headers need to be changed. I know this can be done in linux, but considering Windows doesn't have full support for raw sockets, I thought it cannot be done.

Sorry, but Windows and IP is not something you can get anything reasonably good out of without a larger amount of cash. Get an old machine (and here we're talking 486 level - something you wouldn't dream installing anything MS on nowadays) and install some *nix/*BSD to let it act as both a firewall and NATing gateway. I actually have seen an NT5 (aka "Windows 2000" for the marketing droids) Server act as a HTTP and FTP proxy. Once. However, no one apparently had a clue of how it actually worked, and just the idea of blocking or opening stateful connections for other ports met with a blank stare. It's your choice, but I'd personally never even try to use a Windows machine (no matter what version) as a 'net gateway. You don't try to get a DC-3 to get fly faster than the speed of sound - it's just not healthy.

Windows doesn't have even have a proper TCP/IP stack implementation (raw sockets for example). I have SuSE linux that I use as a firewall and it's not too hard to set it up. So the best is to go with linux.

This is possible in Wi2k, and there are some utilities from the Win2k rescource kit, however I cannot remember the exact name of the utility. Look into ResKit CD, if you have one.

I know there are boot managers out there to control this when two OS's are loaded to one hard drive with multiple partitions. These are going to be completely separate drives. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Nick Parker Re: Dual Hard Drive Boot Manager Venet23-Jun-02 9:22 Venet 23-Jun-02 9:22  No need to use third party software. Windows has a native support for dual booting between MS OS-es.. Just install Windows 2000 first and then install Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Changes should be made so as to choose what OS to load up. It's very easy to do it manually as well. All you need to do is modify boot.ini file. Thanks, Venet. -------- Black holes are where God divided by zero.(Steven Wright) Re: Dual Hard Drive Boot Manager Nick Parker23-Jun-02 11:19 Nick Parker 23-Jun-02 11:19  Venet wrote: All you need to do is modify boot.ini file.

Re: Dual Hard Drive Boot Manager Nick Parker24-Jun-02 15:50 Nick Parker 24-Jun-02 15:50  Thanks for the tip, my boot.ini file looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(1)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect Do you know how it should look with Windows 2000 Advanced Server listed as an entirely separate drive within this file? Thanks again. Nick Parker Re: Dual Hard Drive Boot Manager Venet25-Jun-02 2:57 Venet 25-Jun-02 2:57  Contents of boot.ini should be changed automatically when installing another microsoft OS, so you shouldn't really need to worry about it. But it should look something like this: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect You can change it to say anything you want though. There is another way to make a machine dual boot, by copying first 512 bits (boot sector) of the harddisk/partition that has Win2k AS, but that's a bit complicated really.

I have bought a domain, and would like to run the site, which is done in ASP.NET, on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas or helpful hints? Thanks in advance. Nick Parker Re: DNS and Windows XP Pro Brian Delahunty23-Jun-02 1:09 Brian Delahunty 23-Jun-02 1:09  Do you have a fixed IP address?

Any ideas? Nick Parker Re: DNS and Windows XP Pro Brian Delahunty23-Jun-02 5:44 Brian Delahunty 23-Jun-02 5:44  Probably best to contact the people you registered the domain with and get them to point it to your IP address. But I'd check to see if it's static first.

Registrars will handle the DNS for you. I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat! Re: DNS and Windows XP Pro Jon Newman24-Jun-02 4:16 Jon Newman 24-Jun-02 4:16  Sign up to www.mydomain.com and set up a MyDomain Plus account for your domain (tis free). Get your domain to point its DNS record to ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. Then in Mydomain.com point the domain to your IP. You can set up all sorts of subdomains with mydomain.com as they will act as your DNS servers. "If at first you don't succeed.....you must be installing Windows..."

Re: DNS and Windows XP Pro John Burton2-Jul-02 23:11 John Burton 2-Jul-02 23:11  I use www.dyndns.org with a custom domain to do more or less the same thing. It works well. And that will work even if your IP address does change. Re: DNS and Windows XP Pro Nick Parker3-Jul-02 2:47 Nick Parker 3-Jul-02 2:47  Thanks everyone, I wanted to get the site up quickly, so I just *switched* my configuration from DHCP to static and bought the Advanced DNS Management package from Verisgn. Thanks for all the tips though. Nick Parker Locking the monitor auto-turn off James T. Johnson20-Jun-02 14:10 James T. Johnson 20-Jun-02 14:10  Anyone know how I can go about making it so my sister can't turn off the auto-shutoff of the monitor? I'm tired of her keeping her monitor on 24/7 because she wants to waste electricity and generate heat. She's using a PC made from my spare parts for those worried about the ethics TIA, James "Java is free - and worth every penny." - Christian Graus Re: Locking the monitor auto-turn off Chris Rickard20-Jun-02 14:44 Chris Rickard 20-Jun-02 14:44  Depends on your version of Windows. First Make sure the Auto Shut-Off option is enabled. Then try running (Start->Run) gpedit.msc . If the group policy editor comes up open User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Display. Set the option that hides the ScreenSaver tab. If Windows doesn't know what you're talking about you're probably out of luck. At least I can't think offhad of an easy way to do this..
