Happy belated Birthday !!

Hey Ricky, It might be a trial and error process, put some drivers back in and see if the build breaks, if not, put some more and so on. You could load all of the drivers fresh into the build area, if there aren't too many? Glad the link helped!

It also might be worth trying to build another, completely different workstation to see if its PC or server related. To have two workstations with the same problem seems odd - guessing they both have different kit inside them? If its server related try the info in TEC1446127 from the RM site - it might be helpful? Also, I guess you have rebooted the server since the updates, sorry if you have - just checking!

Have you put any hardware support packs on the network since you last rebuilt these machines? Sometimes new HSP can 'knock out' existing/older drivers. If so, two things to try - first reload into the build area the required drivers for these machines, or second remove the HSP you had put on and see if that resolves your issue. I am guessing other machines are still building ok??

Hi speckytecky, if you are using the standard SWGfL hosted package then no, as it does not have any SQL back end. You would have to upgrade to the advances web hosting package, and go for the linux version, that way you get MySQL and all should be good - well appart from the ICT budget which will be shelling out an extra £170 a year for the upgrade!!! And no, you don't only have to use front page!!

Hi Gibbo_ap, Might be worth trying to reset the winsock stack incase it's having a funny five mins. However if all of your machines 'broke' at the same time I would probably be looking at the DHCP server! On a faulty machine run the following from a CMD prompt: netsh winsock reset It will probably want a reboot! Failing that, you could rule out the local machine being at fault by giving one machine a static IP address as a test? Also, what AV are you running? All the best

Anyone know a good ??

Do I get one too??? hehe

Happy Birthday Witch - and snap - it's my Birthday today Too!!!!
