I find the comment re NT crashing regularly very strange Shangara I've run NT 4 server for 4 years on one machine 5 days a week without it ever crashing,am I doing something wrong ? The answer clearly is that I am not. What I have done however is not to install any additional software since the day the machine was installed and configured Win 2k may be based on NT but it is quite different to use as you probably know. Service pack 2 is good to have but 3 is superfluous. Regards
