    Does your printer work OK when plugged/connected directly to your computer?

    When the print server is connected to your lan can you ping it; does it show up on the lan (local area network)?

    Do you have the manual for the server? If not it can be downloaded here amongst other locations:

    http://www.manualslib.com/manual/73…

    Remember the printer must be correctly installed (drivers etc.) on your computer; verify the printer will print OK from the computer – first..

    Also check if the printer is compatible with the server; not all printers are compatible with all servers (of the type you have).

    When you setup (install) the server itself – its software – keep the the process simple (KISS principal). Use the standard defaults the server setup will proffer – initially at least. Don’t go about changing the usual standard settings.

    Do you have the setup CD (drivers and manual) for the printer? On the off chance you don’t have the manual for the printer; setup instructions etc. (don’t have the CD that comes with the printer) you an download the printer manual here:

    http://files.canon-europe.com/files…

    Do you have the CD with the drivers included – again it ought to be with the printer when new. If no drivers go here and download them – follow the instructions on this link:

    http://support-in.canon-asia.com/co…

    Note carefully that you do NOT have the printer connected by its usb cable when installing the drivers – it’s connected afterwards; again read the information at the above link, and the user manual.

  2. Sorry about that. Feel free to move/post the solution to the correct area.I'll also add that if you have gotten past the IOS and NDIS protection errors you'll probably want to add a shared folder but unfortunately this will not work with the 2007 Virtual Machine Additions.

    Sorry about that. Feel free to move/post the solution to the correct area.

    I’ll also add that if you have gotten past the IOS and NDIS protection errors you’ll probably want to add a shared folder but unfortunately this will not work with the 2007 Virtual Machine Additions. What you’ll need to do is download the 2004 additions from http://www.essjae.com/virtualizatio…

    I think I mentioned in a PM that the floppy disk or drive might be bad. Regardless of the disk version it should boot up. I assume that’s not happening? You might try a dos bootdisk from someplace like bootdisk.com just to see if it boots OK from a floppy.

    Also if you take a look at the floppy–the config.sys, autoexec.bat and the files they call and then check the cd files–you might be able to figure out how to start the restore with a different disk.

    I never used any of those disks. I just accumulated them from various places over the years. The floppies may or may not be the versions that originally came with the restore cd’s.

    Sorry I haven’t send the PB sound cards yet. There’s 6 or 7 or them I think but I just haven’t boxed them up and taken them to the post office. People moved in and rearranged my junk so I’ve been busy trying to make room.

    Don’t forget to preorder your Hatch green chili for this fall. Many vendors ship world-wide. Better hurry. They’re picking and shipping now.

  4. I think he's wondering why the system went from a reported 10%-11% charge to dead. The answer is the battery lied to Windows. The workaround is to bump up the low / critical levels, the fix is to get a new battery.How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

  6. I hate to suggest this because BIOS updates shouldn't be done unless it is absolutely necessary, but check Fujitsu's website for BIOS updates and if there are any, see if they address this issue.

    You can always try AOL.

    Sign up for a free account on the website, then install AOL 3.0 16-bit and sign in with your AOL screenname. (AOL access if free as long as you’re using a TCP/IP connection).

    My family has used AOL since 1993. I would recommend AOL 3.0 16-bit. I don’t believe AOL 1.0 had support for TCP/IP and I don’t believe 2.0 or 2.5 did either, but I may be mistaken.

    I have used AOL 3.0 16-bit regularly on my legacy Windows 3.x and NT 3.x and 3.5x systems and it still runs flawlessly, even 14 years later.

    The poster is using Windows 3.1, a 16-bit operating system.

    The 32-bit Microsoft Fix it won’t run on that operating system. Also, the link you provided is only for the Windows XP operating system.

    This is the correct knowledgebase (“KB”) article for Windows 3.1:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/88363

    “If you are using Windows version 3.1, 3.11, or Windows for Workgroups 3.1:

    1.From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run.
    2.In the Command Line box, type “setup /f” (without quotation marks) and choose OK.
    3.Enter the new name and company, and then choose Continue.
    4.When you are asked to confirm the name and company, choose Continue.
    5.When the Setup Options screen is displayed, choose Continue.
    6.When the Install Components screen is displayed, choose Continue.
    7.If the swap file screen is displayed, choose Continue.
    8.When you are asked to insert a Windows disk, choose the Exit Setup button.
    9.When you are asked to confirm exiting Setup, choose Yes.
    Windows Setup closes and you automatically exit Windows. When you restart Windows, the new user name and company name appear.

    If you are using Windows for Workgroups 3.11, either edit the SERIALNO.INI file with a text editor (such as Notepad) and restart Windows for Workgroups, or use the above procedure running WINSETUP /F instead of SETUP /F in step 2.”

  10. Is the client using a DHCP address? If so, I believe the Windows DNS server will create a dynamic DNS record for it whether it is joined to the domain or not.
