Great link - Thanks!
I don't think a requirement for IE4 is much of a problem anymore, though I do have huge problems with MS no longer offerring the full IE as a download. I'm seeing very few versions lower than 5.0 installed on users' PCs these days.

Anyone know how to set these from explorer as was the case with Win2K and NT4?
Can't seem to be able to select a group (such as Everyone) or individual users for files/folder permissions in XP. All I get with right click -> properties is the sharing tab. The help documetation says their should be a security tab - but its not there!!!!
Could do this fine under Win 2K - there for people to see. They seem to haev hidden it behind a wall of wizards.

Look at Tools -> Folder Options -> View . The last option in the list is "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)". Untick this option, and you should get the permissions tab back.

Is your hard-drive formatted as NTFS or FAT32? I believe the security options only show up on NTFS drives.

Hi All,
I'm looking to learn more about the Vantive 8.6 CRM application. I realize that PeopleSoft bought out Vantive back in '99, but my company received this tool via an acquisition and is possibly looking at integrating it into the operations side of the business.
If you could point me in the direction of some good, useful and detailed information I would appreciate it.
Or if you have some knowledge on this subject and would like to share it, that would also be appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Nick

I have done some integration with Vantive in the past for a customer. We used DDE and some cutsom triggers in the database. I don't have full details of how the database side was implemented because the customer was required to do that.
I know that I basically passed some data to the application. The application used that data to execute a stored procedure in the database back end that would pull up a record. What kind of integration are you looking to do?

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply.
Actually, I was just looking for some general information concerning the Vantive CRM product from an end users prospective.
Basically, what the applications functionality are, what type industry is it geared towards, what can we do or not do with the application, how it compares to other CRM applications, if you recommend it or not, etc.
Since Vantive no longer exists on its own (as you know PeopleSoft bought it out and integrated Vantive’s technology into its own CRM application), its difficult to find basic "brochure like" info on Vantive 8.6 CRM
Thanks for the help!

I am a windows xp user, i wanted to know if it is possible to disable / enable the windows xp firewall by editing some settings in the registry. I think it is impossible but if somebody knows please reply.
Also if the above is possible, then is it also possible to say i want to enable incomming connections to access port 80 using registry setting.
i am very curious if it is possible.

Is there a command that I can use to make my ISP's DNS server spit out the hostname of a computer on his network when all I know about it is the IP address?
The usual data from ARIN, ICANN, etc is useless, as all it will tell me is that the address block is assigned to the ISP. Tracert would do it most of the time, but by the time I see the logs the clown that is scanning me has logged off, and tracert returns nothing but a timeout. I know that Win2K Server ships with a lot of tools, but I'm not familiar with one that will do this for me. Suggestions?
Barring this, can I set up my DNS server to steal a copy of the ISP's cache? That should contain the info I need, though it will be tedious to sort through it manually.

It depends on what kind of problem you have. If it is
just somebody scanning your computers ports I would
not worry as long as the firewall does it's work
and blocks him out. I think Sygate is configured
to block for 10 min.

Nslookup is great for getting an address from a nameserver, but it's useless for getting a name from an address. Ping -a [IPaddr] will return a host name only if the host is active, and it is enabled to respond to ping. I want to identify the bugger whether he's on or not!
There is a new chapter to this event. My ISP reports that a hacker was in the area trying to find all the unused IP addresses in this subnet. The owner of the address that was scanning me is known to the ISP, and has not been using scanning software, so the hacker may have gotten hold of this IP while the legitimate user was offline. The problem hasn't come up again since.

nslookup will get a name from an IP address if the DNS server has an entry. Unfortunately most Adress to hostname translations are useless for ip addresses assigned to customers.
As far as getting the information contained in the ISP's DNS server, it all depends on how their DNS server is configured. If the ISP allows DNS zone transfers to "unauthorized" servers then you could run a DNS server of your own and configure it as a backup DNS server for thier domain. This would download the primary database into your server where you could then examine it.
Not much point in doing this though. If nslookup does not provide the info your pretty much out of luck. That means they don't have an entry for it. Most DNS servers these days also are configured to allow zone transfers only for sites that are on an "authorized" list.

Bummer... The evil doer was back last night, this time hijacking my IP address. Since that wiped out my connection, I can at least take some consolation in knowing that he probably couldn't use it either. I got the mac address, though, and the ISP can block users from that info.

Probably could have titled this post Hey Roger! again, but then again some of you other gurus may not have answered.
I reinstalled an ancient HP Pavillion a few months ago for the unemployed parents of a kid that goes to my sons school. During the installation of Windows 98 SE everything went along fine if not a bit slow. I installed all known updates for things like Internet Explorer, Windows Installer, DirectX etc. With no problems, I then performed all Windows Updates (yes Roger, all of them) and once again found no problems.
A few weeks later (a couple of months ago now) I took over a not so old scanner and printer I found in the garage. When I tried to install the drivers for either device Windows would give me a Blue Screen Of Death claiming it couldn't read the CD.
I knew the CD was OK as I tested it at home. I then tried to copy the contents of the CD to HDD using Windows Explorer, same problem. So I booted off a Windows 98 SE boot disk and used xcopy from the command line and all was good.
So now I have a problem with Windows where it is refusing to read all CD's except some very old stuff they have. Audio, Norton, SystemWorks, CD-R's all fail.
Any idea what I could try to get this to work?

This sounds like a bad CD-ROM drive (and I've had experience with those!). Buy a new one. They only cost $25 these days.
I installed Windows 98 with a certain CD-ROM drive, and it did fine. But when I got into Windows for the first time, it wouldn't even finish booting up, ever. So I tested the CD-ROM drive on a different computer that had no history of boot problems, and it stopped booting up whenever the CD-ROM was attached. Then I switched to another old CD-ROM. It let windows boot up, but it had the annoying habit you mentioned - the blue screen telling you it can't read from the CD-ROM. It also would sometimes go "nuts" and not stop reading from the drive when it was told to, continuing until the computer was turned off.
Only one other thing - there can be problems if the CD-ROM drive is in DOS compatibility mode.

Could be. I bought 2 new 52x speed CD-ROM at the same time, put them in 2 identical old HP computers and both have the same symptoms. I'm just surprised that they both worked to install Windows and only had problems after all updates and other software was installed. Also why they both still work in DOS.

I never thought to try it in another machine, or another CD-ROM in that machine. I'm amazed I can breathe involuntary some days.

Are you talking about the settings in the Advanced section of System from the Control Panel?

Modern CDs use ISO Mode 1 format for the track layout on the CD, but there are older CD drives still out there that can only read Mode 2 (XA-Format) CDs. Perhaps the newer installation CDs are in a format that the old CD drive can't understand. Try copying the drivers to your hard drive, then burning a CD in the Mode 2 format from them.

They'd have to be pretty old, but I guess he did say "ancient"...
