    That was one of the first things I checked. Unfortunately, there are no virtual NIC's. Only 2 physical NIC's and one of them is disabled. I even tried swapping NIC's but was unsuccessful.

    Sonicwall VS Untangle

    Only have experience with TZ200. Kinda complicated getting custom ports opened up at first. After about a week the internet would go down. Only a power cycle of the router fixed it. This would happen for weeks while trying to get support to figure it out. Ended up getting a second one for failover.

    dell laptop keeps losing network drives from domain

    Was this laptop a rebuild? What I mean is, was a user profile transfered to this system? Had that happen to me once where I didn't copy everything over correctly like ntuser.dat. I could map the network drives then it would lose it completley.

    I'm also having this problem. Replaced power supply and cd-rom only reads certain music cd's. It says 'insert disk' on one particular cd. The cd works in other computers. I'm stumped. :confused:

    Trouble accessing resources on network while connected through VPN

    Ok. I was able to get to the other machines at work. Turns out I had to change my default gateway to something other than the gateway at work. So...instead of 192.168.1.1, had to change it to 192.168.0.1. After that, I was able to RDP into the computers. Still can't map drives but this works.

    I had the same problem. During the XP install, I got a message saying 'windows was does not detect a hard disk'. So I installed the SATA drivers by pressing F6 and still no go. What I did was go into BIOS and go to 'drives'. Select SATA and enable it. Reboot and see if it works.
