I have a home server running WinXP that goes to sleep and takes 3 or 4 seconds to wake up when accessed over the network. Vista never waits for it wake up. It times out almost immediately.... and even worse seems to "cache" the timeout for several minutes. So even though the server is up and ready, Vista still says it's not available. This only happens when using Vista. Is there any way to...

I have two DSL accounts - each with a different ISP (one for international and one for local cap due to pricing differences). I like playing online games (Battlefield 2142) which is quite bandwidth hungry and therefore use the local account with large cap (and cheaper). Should I need to browse normally, I will use the international account. Ideally, one would like to setup a simulateous...

Hello, I currenlty have windows 2000 and windows xp clients using PPTP vpn clinets that connect to a cisco vpn conentrator and a windows 2000 RRAS server. The vpn servers are on a 10.4.15.x network and the clients gets assigned a 10.4.15.x address from an internal dhcp server. Our preference is to use split tunneling to limit bandwisth usage so as a practice I leave the 'use default gateway...

Hi all, strange issue with a tower that we built. It's on our SBS 2003 domain, with the firewall settings pushed out through GP. The user tried to RDP to the machine the other night but it didn't allow him to connect. Investigation turns up a weird situation where the Network and Sharing Center is blank. I tried to open the N&SC and it just hangs. Nothing listed or anything. I know I...

Now as you are probably aware Vista can not be controlled by SMS2003, even SP3, and...

I really am tearing my hair out over this - sorry if the post is long/confused and for the xposting - trying to give as much coherent info as possible to aid resolution ASAP...
