Hi -- My new desktop has Vista Ultimate 32bit. For all the years that I have had the Westell 2200 modem, I have been able to access Expert mode to do port forwarding. Now when I click on Expert mode, I get the confirmation but then none of the options such as Configure, NAT, etc. appear at the left. How can I get this back? Thanks.

I have searched far and wide and not been able to find a way to fix my problem. I recently got a new Vista machine - not because of a desire, but because of it becoming necessary. Anyhow, I have taken the steps to establish a network and have assured that the same network ID is on all computers. The several operating systems include Windows 98, XP Home Edition, and Vista Home Premium. The...

Although I have 5.37 GB free on C, Computer Management shows only 23 MB available shrink space, even though I...

I realize that this has been posted before, but no solution seems to be found. This is a HUGE problem and will abosolutely prevent any rollout of Vista in my organization if there is no solution to this problem. Basically, the problem is this: - New Vista setup (new install or upgrade using RC1) works fine until joined to the Win2K3 domain. - After joining the Win2K3 domain, Vista still...

I understand that Net Send was replaced with Msg in Vista Business and Ultimate, but not Home. I am wondering if there is an application that will allow you to send and receive Net Send messages for Vista Home Premium. Surprisingly I am having a lot of trouble finding a program for this that works. I have tried Win Sent, but upon trying to send a message, I get an Access Violation message, and...

I'm getting really frustrated trying to access a Vista share from XP. Now, before you jump the gun with one of the standard suggestions, please read: 1) I CAN access a share on the XP Pro share from the Vista Home Premium machine. 2) I CAN access a Public share on Vista with no problem. 3) I CAN access a share on Vista that has Everyone permissions. 4) I CANNOT access an administrative share on...

I get message back "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done (0x80070534)". However, I have no problem just copying files using...

Running Windows/XP Professional and Vista on two PCs. I can write to a shared folders on the Vista PC from the XP PC but not the other way around. I am being prompted for a user ID and password and when I enter a valid XP User Account ID and password, it still does not work.

In my Vista PC, have several folders defined as sharable and with full control. NETBIOS is enabled on both Vista and 2 XP PCs. I can access XP folders from Vista but not Vista folders from XP. Have turned-off Norton and still have the problem (Windows FW is off for both Vista and XP). No problem accessing shared XP folders from XP. Any ideas on what the problem is ? -- Zach

My problem is that the idle disconnect feature does not work for me under Vista Premium. I get traffic every so often from the internet, and that seems to reset the timeout. If I go into the "network connections folder" - "properties" on my modem connection - "options tab" ... I can see a box labeled "idle threshold" but it is greyed out. Ideally I would like to find a idle timeout that...

I have a wireless network that Windows XP clients can connect to the Internet on. But this Vista machine cannot connect - the connection icon shows only Local, not Local and Internet. Have I missed a configuration setting
