Whenever the user of the server computer turns on its firewall one of the client computers but not all loses its access to the server computer and this causes the program that is installed to it to lose its connection to the database that is stored in the server computer. When I checked on the other computers It still has access on the server computer ..... :confused:
Can somebody tell me whats wrong .... tnx in advance :sick:
All of the computers in the network has P4 processors except 4 the computer that I'm talking about .... 300mhz (Speed)
Does all your computers using the same OS? Have you checked the permissions?
Yes they are all running in windows XP .... the computer that I'm talking about runs slowly. Just an hour ago It works fine but now it won't connect
any Ideas :confused:
Why dont you just replace that problematic computer? ;)
I can't do that .... any ideas :confused:
Maybe that 300mhz cannot cope up with your networked environment. Couldnt you upgrade it instead? That's way too low...
If it is dropping its connection then maybe there is something wrong with:
1. The station jack
2. The NICK card
3. The network cable
Have you tried replacing any or all of these?
Is the firewall on in the slow computer? That is pretty slow for an XP OS. Maybe it's doing other things that prevent it from connecting? Have you run AV programs on it?
Not Yet .... I'll try to replace them tommorow. tnxQuote:
