"Warning - Multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as an intranet or the Internet)." I have no idea if this is a fault or normal for my setup (32bit Vista Ultimate/Q6600/nVidia 680i w/ dual NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet).

On my Vista home PC I run this command at the command prompt: net use G: \\xplaptop\c$ /user:xplaptop\theusername Then press enter and prompted for password. I enter password for that user and I get System error 86 has occurred. The specified network password is not correct.

I decided to get Vista home premium 64 bit...now I think I am regretting it. In XP there is an option to setup a connection to an "always on" broadband connection i.e. no username/password required. Much to my chagrin I have found my Vista only has PPPoe broadband connection rendering my new PC pretty much pointless. Since "help" also only mentions PPoe it looks like I have had it

I have a single parent folder on the root of my hard drive. Contained in this parent folder are ,let us say ,10 folders with files in each.

We have one user, when we setup vpn connection, even though we tell the wizard to "use my internet connection" (LAN via CAT 5 and Wireless) it for some reason keeps trying to setup to go out thru a dialup connection, even though one doesn't exist. Anyone experience this, and/or have a solution?

If I have to configure routers or SANs, basically...
