  • 2. Socket errors
    My father and I have been having trouble trying to get his computer to connect. We keep getting the 169.254.x.y IP address. We have changed Ethernet cards, tried bypassing his router straight to the cable modem. His laptop can connect to the internet just fine, so we have eliminated the router and the cable modem. We have tried system restores, have tried setting up statically, we looked up the knowledge base and tried deleting the winsock files and using the netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt. and nothing works. We keep pulling the 169.254.x.y IP, and cannot ip renew because it keep saying that 'operation was attempted on something that is not a socket'. Is there something else we can do or try.
  • 3. Workgroup name disappears
    I have a home 3 PC network using a router. They are connected to the internet. Tha problem is that I setup the workgroup as XHome. After I reboot, some of the PCs have a workgroup of MSHOME. I then changed them using the network wizard. Then they revert back to MSHOME. How do I get it to stay XHOME. 2 PCs are wireless (desktop and laptop) 1 PC is CAT 5 desktop to the router. The laptop and wired desktop are using ZoneAlarm Pro, other wireless desktop is using Sygate Security Agent. How do i get the workgroup name to stay. -- mac0730
  • 4. after 10 minutes, things get hosed, and I can not get to websites anymore.
    I have a problem with Internet connection. After I browse internet via Internet Explorer for 5-10 minutes, things get hosed, I can not get to websites anymore. . Rebooting model or router does not help. I have to reboot computer. That is very annoying and takes a lot of time. Is there a command that I can execute in DOS, that will achieve the same thing but faster, so when I am in trouble I can execute this command?

Keep offline files from going offline with slow connection

I am having a hard time keeping systems from going off line when
connected via VPN or even a 10 meg (or better even) wireless. We need
off line files enabled, but ONLY when they are really off line. I
tried setting the GPO for the "Configure slow link speed" to 1 so that
even if it is a 1k connection it will still stay on line, but they
still go off line when on VPN or wireless. Again, it's not even slow
connections that it is doing this with, so I'm a bit lost...

Any idea what I can do about this?

1.Offline Files - Computer keeps going offline

My computer keeps going into offline state even though I 
am still connected to the local area network.  If I 
syncronize it will reconnect fine.  Any ideas how to keep 
it online?

2.Offline folders keep going offline

Hi,

On my SBS network, I make use of Offline Folders within XP, mapped to
shares on my SBS server (home areas etc).

Its a simple LAN (one subnet, approx 60 PCs).

CPU of the server is averaged at 10-20%.

However for some reason, my PC and several others keep loosing
connections to the shares, and put themselves in offline mode.

I've checked the event logs of clients/servers, and don't see anything
obvious.

Any tips on debugging why this keeps happening?

3.offline files go offline after a while

My offline files just seem to go 'off line' all the time. When they go 
offline, the offline folders (which are mapped as drives) only show the 
files that are available offline, and don't try to reconnect.

Possibly my offline files are going offline because of Idle Session Timeout.

On the Server (SBS 2003), at the command line, NET CONFIG SERVER shows

Idle session time (min)    15

This would suggest that if I don't use the network shares for 15 minutes, 
they are automatically disconnected.
And that browsing an offline folder does not cause a reconnect.

Is this likely to be the problem? Should I change this setting?

If I futz around with a UNC path to a different folder, I can reconnect, and 
the offline folders reconnect.

This is dysfunctional. I would like to have some offline files in some 
offline file folders, but when I am connected I would like to see all of the 
files in the server folder.

I don't see other people asking about this problem.  Am I the only person in 
the world who has not shared "all files and folders" in the offline folder? 
If not,

any suggestions what should I do to fix this?

4.Offline files - Working offline, what is going on?

I have a couple laptops that are giving me fits.

Windows XP Pro SP3 and up to day.
This was happening long before I installed SP3
File server is 2003 Server.

They keep going "Off line".

There's a little pop-up balloon that pops up and says:
"Offline files - Working offline
You are no longer connected to 'MyServerName'. You can continue working 
normally.
Click this icon to view status."

I've made this setting change:
Windows Explorer\Tools\Folder Options, Offline Files tab, Advanced button.
Set to "Never allow my computer to go offline.

I found this information is NewGroup past, but don't know if it's relevent:
This is 100% the SMB signing bug inhtroduced with XP SP1.  The workaround 
was contained in KB article #331519,
but Microsoft just recently yanked the article with no word, and has 
provided no substitute fix. Call MS, quote the article, and get it fixed. 
It has to do with turning off all digital signing on your 2k domain 
controller.

At one point I thought it was because they had their wireless NIC on at the 
same time their LAN NIC was on, but that doesn't seem to be it.

I also thought it might be Symantech's antivirus, but we tried disabling 
that and the laptop still goes in to offline mode.

Anyone have an idea what I should be looking for to resolve this???
