I've noticed that from time to time you whine about various Microsoft products, comparing them unfavorably with other Oses.
Have you considered that your proficiency might have an impact in your experience? In this particular case, I would suspect that you have too many machines (and likely the wrong machines) handling your domain browse lists. http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB/?File=Browser.TXT ASB http://www.ultratech-llc.com/KB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Adam Smith Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 9:44 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: RAS > Why do clients who log in via RAS I often do this. I was half way through an email and the phone rang, so for some reason to clear my screen, I pressed CTRL-ENTER to send off this email, without even finishing it. As I was saying, Why do clients who log in via RAS see less than a user logged in to the LAN? Now I'm going to make some rash assumptions here, but that's because I use Unix and I use Windows, and I don't have problems with Unix. Users that log in and browse the network should be presented with a list of ALL machines on the domain, just as if they are connected to the network, but they are not always. Sometimes they are even presented with PARTIAL shares on a server and not all of them, even though when they connect to the LAN, low and behold, they can see all the shares. I am rather frustrated at this because it's something that's existed for as long as I can remember. This kind of crap never happens under Unix. Always with Microsoft products. And even though it does, there's probably some lame excuse as to why it happens. "Oh, some registry setting by default is configured to stop any dialup connections from being presented with a browse list, to conserve bandwidth." It wouldn't surprise me. "Upgrade to Service Pack 1 for Windows XP." Ugh. "Check to make sure there aren't any other protocols like IPX/SPX enabled." No, there aren't. WHY does this happen and WHY are Microsoft products always to blame? Don't even get me started on Microsoft's RFC compliance. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd. ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
