This type of problem can be very difficult to diagnose without having direct

Logically I can't see a mistake, therefor it must be something small that
causes this behaviour. I suggest that you take the following steps:
1) Resynchronize the domain controllers
2) Make sure that the trust relation is setup correctly
3) Re-register the member server on the resource domain
4) Check that NETLOGON service is started on the member server
5) Check your groups.
Domain1/Global must contain the users
Domain1/Local must contain Domain1/Global
Domain2/Local must contain Domain1/Global
MemberServerDomain2/Local must contain Domain1/Global
On the folders on the MemberServer the permissions must include
MemberServerDomain2/Local (which contains Domain1/Global, giving permissions
to the users from Domain1)
A very important point to make is that you should never use the same name for
global and local groups (MS does not really emphasise this in the
documentation) because it is very easy to make a mistake.
Are you sure that you have specified the member servers local group in the
permissions for the folders on the member server ? and that you have copied
the permissions down to all directories ?
If all fails, then convince you boss that you need the MOC course
"Implementing and supporting Windows NT 4.0 in the enterprise", where this
subject on it's own requires one day.

That's right... cable companies in Canada are actively upgrading their
systems to allow this; US companies are taking longer-- partly because
there are more of them, with smaller markets. I don't know what the
situation is in Europe.
I'm currently using a cable modem, rented from my cable TV company...
because they are still testing the system as they expand it, they've
limited the modems to a mere 500,000 bps, instead of their theoretical 10

assistant: On 07-27-97, JOHN ALDRICH said to ALL:
I've had some problems with my Exabyte 8500 drive, too, that were somehow
related to SCSI bus configuration.  The 8500 supports SCSI-2 and synchronous
negotiation and those turned out to be key in configuring my Adaptec 1542CF
host adapter.  The 8200 is SCSI-1 and doesn't appear to support synchronous
negotiation.  You may want to check the HA configuration and drop back to
defaults or even the lowest common denominator settings (I have no experience
with Future Domain HAs so I can't point you in the right direction).
Might be worth trying different cables and terminators.  If the tape drive is
not the only device on the bus, you might need active terminators for any
SCSI-2 devices attached to the bus...

Don't depend on what Win95 thinks is not a conflict. Since it supports
PnP and the device in question certainly isn't "plug and pray" it can't
be trusted to tell you if the IRQ's and system setup are problems or
not.
If you're not sure of the IRQ and address neither is Win95 and IRQ's
will cause the problem you're describing.
NT and sometimes Win95 like parity on and naturally, termination has to
be correct or the wire will "ring" like a bell. The best solution
(overkill) is to cable with an additional connection and use an active
termination plugged into that connector. Remembering physical ends of
the cable must be terminated, of course.

ISDN is getting cheaper and cheaper in Norway nowadays, which leads to more
computers sold, and more people on the Internet. Even I have gotten an
Internet subscription now, I only wait for the Telenor (the only phone
company in Norway) install guy to set up the ISDN NT1+ box, so I can use my
subscription.
Only problem is, I don't have any software for Windows NT, and I am reluctant
to installing Windows 95 again (finally something on- topic!). I also suspect
that the installation/registration program needs Windows 95 to set up a
connection to Telia Internet, but I'm not sure. They'll have a frustrated
user on the help desk support phone once I can't get the software to work,
that's for sure! :)

That's one of the weird things about SCSI. Some devices will get along
while others won't. In my experience, standard internal hard drives will
generally get along just fine even if things like termination aren't set
quite right. But once you start adding other devices like scanners or
backup drives, the whole story changes. The problem *seems* to be that
not everyone follows all the rules all the time.
