Write your reply.

assistant: to
This isn't necessarily true.  If the permissions on other domain resources
have been set using your domain account you can still access them using your
cached profile.
For example, I have NTW on both my work and home computers.  At work all
accounts reside on a PDC.  We have the ability to dial into work and connect
to the network.  I logged onto NTW at home using my username, password and
domain information from work and chose to use dial-up networking to connect
which downloaded my 1MB+ roaming profile. Once I did this I was recognized on
the network as "domain_name\user_name" and could access all domain resources
where the permissions had been set for "domain_name\user_name".
On subsequent connections I choose not to connect via dial-up networking and
simply use the cached profile.  Using my cached profile of
"domain_name\user_name" I'm still recognized by the network resources and
ave
access to the same shared file and print services.
Go to Control Panel -> System -> User Profiles and see how the profiles are
stored.  Domain accounts are listed as "domain_name\user_name" (doesn't
atter
if it's roaming or local) and local accounts are listed as
"workstation_name\user_name".  Access permissions on domain resources are set
using "domain_name\user_name".  As long as the "domain_name\user_name" on the
domain resource matches the profile of your current logon you'll have access
to that domain resource without being authenticated by a PDC/BDC.

assistant: A Note from Bob Davidson to All!
  I am having a problem getting the "gateway" services on my NT4 server to
  connect to my Novell 4.11 server.
  When gateway services is installed it creates an icon in Control Panel. The
  problem is when I try to make the connection. It tells me the user doesn't
  exist on the Nov server. I changed a few things to overcome that. Now it
tells
  me, I think, that I need to create a "gateway object" on the Novell server
  that allows it to become accessible.
  Has anyone successfully accomplished this? Was the OBJECT the answer?

Hello, All...
Does Microsoft offer any kind of supplement or addendum to the Windows '95
Resource Kit, to cover the 95B release?  I've got a copy of the book, going
back to when the utilities were provided on disk and not the CD that I'm
seeing these days, but I had some issues tonight about the Windows Address
Book (WAB) that obviously weren't covered in my book.  I sure could use
something extra, if it exists.  If not, no biggy, I'll get there in the end.
:)
Thanks!

I've found that Telix 3.X for DOS works just fine in all versions of NT

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
  I am using RasDial() in Windows 95 to call a Windows NT server.
  Although I am giving the user name and password in the
  LPRASDIALPARAMS struct, after it connects, it displays a dialog
  box asking for the Password. How can I disable this?
  I want to connect to the NT server without the user having to
  type in anything. Also, the username and password in RASDIALPARAMS
  are not neccessarily the same as the username with which the user
  is logged on to his local machine.
  Do I have to user script.exe or is there a way to do this
  programmatically? I have MSDN professional so any pointers
  there will be suitable.
  Also, if I manually type in the username and password in the dialog
  box that comes up and then disconnect, it seems to remeber this
  password somewhere. If I call again, the dialog box doesn't come
  up. So there must be some system value that is being set in the
  first call.
  Thanks and Regards,

    And yes, the option to repair file associations is there. You asked
  also if this option was for Win95, my impression was that the Power-
  Toys were available only for Win95 only. ( I have been wrong many
  times before though !!! ).

OS/2 Warp 3 detects an NTFS partition as an HPFS partition though. I've used

Write your reply.

assistant: m.
It could be that the old Panasonic print drivers are buggy. I've found
citizen 9pin and 24pin printers work better with thier equivalent epson or
IBM drivers which are far more debugged than the less common NT printer
drivers that don't get as tested and well used in NT. As I recall, most
panasonc printers will emulate an epson and can be jumpered to emulate an IBM
9 pin or 24pin dot matrix. I don't recall if the 1180 was 9pin or 24pin. If
you no longer have the printer manual to look and see what model the 1180
emulates, Try choosing an Epson Printer like the 9 pin LX-80 or the 24pin
LQ-800/850. If it is set to emulate and IBM printer, try the proprinter II
(9pin) or the Proprinter 24XLE (If 24pin). Epson emulations and drivers
usually work better, but your milage may vary.

those programs using common DOS practices of polling the keyboard and the
comport. No consideration was given at all for multitasking. Run Binkley or
some other "Windows aware" DOS task and see what happens to your CPU useage.
I understand your point and it is a good one. Still any programmer that
doesn't want to stick his head completely up his hind end can write perfectly
good software in 16 bit mode for Windows NT.
