I had a problem user like that once and this is how I handled it. I started telling him a story about "another user" that I can't stand who downloads this and that and messes everything up. I said if users wouldn't do stupid things there computers would work fine. It is usually the users fault, of course, directing all this to this "OTHER USER". I told him thta this "OTHER USER" drives me insane and messes up my whole day! All the while telling him that story I gave him the crazy eyes. After that, I have never had a problem with him messing up his computer again. YMMV. Best, Phil

This particular user is an a-hole, and personally, doesn't need the internet here. All I've seen him do it add viruses to the network, download illegal music, and keep near-porn wallpaper on his computer. I'm not really trying TOO hard to fix it, but it does have me stumped. It's XP Pro. No firewall. Nslookup is normal, tried the normal bootup, I'll go check the logs (as that seems to have slipped my mind here.)

Vista, XP, Mac, Linux? What have you done to fix the problem? Stop firewall? Ran NBTStat, nslookup, etc. Slap the user in the face and ask "WTF did you do?" There are logs that was generated. Look at the logs and come tell us again. -Z.V. ________________________________ From: Christopher J.

He can see the network devices, the network itself, and has no connectivity issues locally, but internet will not work. Can't even ping out. It was working fine until lunch, then died. All the settings check out... any ideas? Chris ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
