and it DOES slow down machines with lot's of file movement, like cad
workstations.  The production version of DiskKeeper is more effective
but it is still not blazingly fast.

can set it to run at three priority levels, even continously in the

yet used that one.  I don't think there are any other choices right now.

I've seen a great deal of fragmentation on my NTFS partition but it's also a
small one so one would expect it (more or less).  I'll wager that any
well-used and fairly full NTFS partition will fragment fairly easily.
Also, grab a newer version of DKLITE (such as what's currently available).
There seems to be significant differences between the first versions and
what's up now...

From: "Petter Enholm" <petter.enholm@winlink.no>
I want to connect to registry on a Windows NT 4.00 server, using the remote
registry call; RegConnectRegistry.
This works well when I connect to Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT
workstation 4. But in order to connect to a Windows NT 4 server, I need to
be member of the administrator group in order to access any keys under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section.
I have tried to add myselves as a user on the remote server with full
control to the above mentioned key. This without any luck. This applies to
servers set up in both workgroups and domains. It's no difference.
Tests with regedt32.exe and regedit.exe gives the same result, so it's not
my application that is the problem.
Is there some way give some users/groups access to this part of registry on
Windows NT 4.00 servers?
Has it something to do with the way the NT Server sets the security for the
standard shares?
I understand why they have restricted the access to the registry. We have a
Windows NT 3.51 server with default registry security set up in our office.
From remote machines with Guest access I can easily connect to registry on
that server and modify registry settings. This is not good. But I don't
understand why I can't grant access to users that I trust using the
Security / Permissions ... menu item from regedt32.exe ! ?

user: You are replying to All about "NT 3.51 Server Blues".

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a few case scenarios I'd like to pass on to others and see if you
have an answer.  Please feel free to respond:
1)
Why is it on a Windows 95 client using NETBEUI only connecting to an
NT 3.51 server on the same segment do I get a "Domain controller not
found to validate my login" upon logging into the domain?
The server is using TCP, NETBEUI, and IPX/SPX.  If I load TCP/IP on the
Windows 95 machine, the messages goes away!
I have this same message when using RAS from a Windows 95 client dialing
in directly to the RAS server, which is the PDC.
2)
I have a server called AVANORFFTP (which is an NDC on domain A)
using IP 192.127.105.235. There is another server called NTSERVER1
(which is a PDC on domain B) using IP 192.127.105.239. Both of these
servers are on the same segment and connected to the same hub.
What I want to do is swap IP addresses and let NTSERVER1 (PDC) have IP
address 192.127.105.235.
The AVANORFFTP server will be re-installed as a BDC on the domain B with
NTSERVER1.
For some reason, clients on the other side of the router does not see
either machine when I exchange IP addresses.  I can't even PING the
machine.
My thoughts are that the MAC layer address hasn't updated itself across
all the router tables.  I switched the IP addresses back and everything
works fine.
Any ideas?

user: You are replying to All about "NT 3.51 IP Routing".

Write your reply.

assistant: Can someone please explain to me the correct way to enable the IP
Routing feature of NT 3.51?  I have two (2) network cards on my server
with the following IP address:
Primary card which capable of accessing all UNIX, NT Servers, Windows
95, etc: 192.127.105.239
Secondary card which only has one (1) Windows 95 client attached:
192.127.106.5
The reason I have this scenario is because a client PC on the
192.127.105 network sends large data files to the NT Server.  The
192.127.106 network scans for these data files and begins processing the
files.  By doing it this way, it eliminates all the extraneous network
activity on the primary network.  Usually I use NETBEUI for this, but
now I need access to another NT server from the secondary network.
The network layout looks as:
+--UNIX SERVER
|
|
+--UNIX SERVER
|
|
+--NT 3.51 SERVER A (192.127.105.235)
|
|
+--NT 3.51 SERVER B (192.127.105.239) (Primary NIC)
|                   (192.127.106.5) (Secondary NIC)
|                          |
|                          |
|                          +--Windows 95 Client (192.127.106.10)
|
+--FIREWALL (192.127.105.1)
There is a small five (5) port hub connected to 192.127.106 for the
Windows 95 client.  I usually use NETBEUI, but now the Windows 95 client
needs access to NT SERVER A at 192.127.105.235 which it needs to pull
files from.  Currently it cannot reach this server.
I've gone through the TCP/IP configuration and assigned the secondary
card with the correct IP address.  I've even checked "Enable IP
Routing".
1) What is my gateway suppose to be on the NT SERVER B for the
secondary card?
2) What is my gateway suppose to be on the Windows 95
Client?
I can PING both server's NIC's from the Windows 95 client, I
just can't ping anything else on the 192.125.106 network.
Someone please advise!??

David, CNE
