I believe I've run into this in the past on XP as well, but I have 3 computers at home on Windows 7 and 2 of the three say that Indiana (East) does not observe daylight saving time. As a result I have two computers with the wrong time, I know I can set it to Easter time and resolve it but I...

I never used the lmhosts file, used to work a lot on unix and linux servers and we used the hosts file for everything so I started there. I don't know that it was the best way to handle it then as the hosts file was kind of a mess, but I inherited that one and left before I cleaned it all up...

Well, it is working for the time being. I have the node type set to hybrid, rather than p2p, and took Trouble's steps clearing the NetBios name table cache. I cleared it and then checked the resolved list and surprise, now I see the server listed. Accessing the shares by name now works. I'm...

I have 3 Windows 7 machines (2 professional and 1 home premium) and one XP Professional machine on my home network. All are members of the same workgroup. I have a set of file shares on the XP machine and one of the Windows 7 pro boxes. The problem is the home premium machine can't access the...

I had reviewed the policy settings previously and found most everything was set to Not Configured. I have local admin rights so I figured enabling some of the user configuration policies would do the trick. It did not. I ran a gpresult to see what GPO's were applied and there is one which...

Just recently installed Windows 7 and I am unable to set a screensaver. When I go to personalize -> Screensaver the dropdown to select a screensaver is greyed out and I am unable to set one. I also have Win 7 installed on my laptop and do not have this issue. Has anyone run into any video...
