Windows, Networking and Software

FAQ, Tips, Hints, and Wisdom for Windows 98x/XP

David Gok 206

Remote POP3 Access: Go into properties for your mail.attbi.com account. Click on the Servers tab. Is

there a checkmark in the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box? If so, remove it, you don't

want to enable SPA.

Ok, I checked again and made sure the boxes were unchecked. And, it does work now.

More General Info:

The general idea is to use a protocol other than TCP/IP to do your sharing. For Windows, Microsoft

provides two choices: IPX/SPX and NetBEUI. You may prefer NetBEUI, because it doesn't have to be

configured, though IPX/SPX may be your choice if you're doing more esoteric networking. If you don't

know which to choose, choose NetBEUI.

A tip for those XP users: XP doesn't ship with NetBEUI in the list of protocols, however it IS on the XP

CDROM in directory R:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NET\NETBEUI (replace R: with your CDROM drive).

There's a .TXT file there that explains what to do.

If you DO install one of these alternate protocols (and I really suggest you don't use both), I *highly*

recommend making it the default protocol for MS File sharing. The way you do this varies per operating

system.

In Win9X, right click Network Neighborhood, -> Properties... Select the NetBEUI (or IPX/SPX protocol)

that you've installed, Properties. On the 'advanced' tab, check the box "make default protocol". Select

TCP/IP, properties, on the advanced tab, uncheck both MS File Sharing and MS Network Client. Ok. It

will whine that you've not bound TCP to anything, I think you hit cancel to ignore this whine (otherwise it

will put you right back where you were). Reboot, and Netbeui or IPX should be your only protocol.

On NT4, Win2000 (NT5.0) and XP (NT5.1) systems, there's a somewhat more complex dialog called

'Bindings'. This lets you change the order the protocols are searched in for each 'service'. Move your

NetBEUI or IPX to the top of this list for all 'services', and uncheck TCP from them.

Again, ignore any whining about how TCP isn't bound to anything, its OK, you only want to use TCP/IP

for Internet Access. This bindings dialog has moved around from version to version. In XP, right click

My Network Places, properties, and in the menu, go to Advanced -> Advanced Settings.

In the bindings box, move Netbeui (or IPX) to the top of the list for both File and Printer Sharing, and

Client for MS Networks, and uncheck TCP from both of these.

Whatever you do, make sure you do the SAME THING ON ALL YOUR SYSTEMS. Having different

default protocols makes for very erratic behavior and much frustration.

HP 932C and XP

Had that problem before. I have HP Deskjet 930C. Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't. Uninstall HP

software including the driver, reinstall it again didn't solve. I use Windows XP driver instead of HP, still
