Yep, just rebooted the DCs - it's resolving, still saying server: unknown Not given up yet though...

Hiya, Thanks for the response... The problem is more serious than first thought, so doing some digging... (It won't browse the network as Administrator even on the DC! nightmare) Thinking it's a DNS issue at this stage...

I've been using xvnc for years without any problems, today it's suddenly not listing any workstations, and when starting it up, I get the message "Sorry - No Windows NT, 2k, XP Workstations found at the moment." I also use NEWT Freeware, and that's not working either... I've not made any changes recently, and checked things I can think of, but can't work out what's wrong... Does anyone have any suggestions? Workstations: XP Pro Server: Windows 2008 Edit: Just noticed I can't browse the Entire Network either...

I've looked into moving to Google's email service a couple of times... @ JHiggins - Sync with ActiveDirectory/LDAP - doesn't that have to go through a 3rd party and end up pretty expensive charged on a per-user basis? That was one of the things that put me off...

You're welcome

I used FrontPage for years, until they stopped it and released Expression Web, now Expression Web 2... Great program really... I've dabbled with Dreamweaver, but never got into it... Also, you may be able to get Expression Web 2 (Actually the complete Expression Studio 2) for free via the Microsoft DreamSpark thing - that's how I've got it, saw a banner on one of these pages a while ago: https://www.dreamspark.com Quite a bit of other software for schools too... Well worth checking out...

The plugin you mentioned sounds like what I need, though I don't think that'll come from the email provider - it's not the school email, but for my other business... I'll have another hunt for a plugin like you mentioned

I'm using an IMAP account successfully in Outlook, but occasionally, it puts the sent emails in the Sent box in the Personal Folders - even though it's set to put them in the IMAP Sent box... Also, when sending email from external applications (in this case - QuickBooks) it always puts the mail in the Personal Folders... Does anyone know of a way of disabling the Personal Folders, or forcing all external apps to use the IMAP instead? I've googled for a result, without any joy... Rick

You could refill the old cartridges - I've done this a lot in the past, you can usually use each old cartridge again 2 or 3 times, and the refill toner is a fraction of the cost: Refill toner UK | Toner refill your empty laser printer cartridge | U Refill Toner Ltd.

You may get better results here: Nokia Support Discussions - Nokia Support Discussions I've been using MfE on my N95 for about a year now, but no extra setting up was needed. OWA was already used here, and mobile device access was set to on. I've got mine set up using just the IP of the exchange server (without /exchange) and secure connection set to "off" Do any other mobile devices access exchange there?

Ditto, we've got a few of these, work nicely

I had quite a bad experience with A2Z at the last school I worked at... Placed quite a big order, delivery was a few weeks late, monitors were completely wrong - glass screen TFTs ordered - normal screens delivered, then before incorrect screens had been collected, a second delivery of incorrect screens arrived - needless to say they were sent packing. Never used A2Z since, pretty sure I never will again.

I use ResSwitch here, works well for us

Nominet charge a fortune to register with them - definitely better to get one registered elsewhere and have them forward it to your chosen ISP.

Yes, there's nothing set to change the setting...

Regardless of what's set before a machine is added, it changes to open every folder in separate windows... why anyone would prefer this is a mystery to me... Other than Group Policies - which have been ruled out, can anyone suggest what may be causing this? It's rather frustrating, especially when working on machines that have the profiles deleted every day...

I've been using ResSwitch here for a while, works well and it's free: CodeProject: ResSwitch & ResList v1.2 - Easily change screen resolution. Free source code and programming help

Thanks for the reply... The contacts are being listed when he's searched for them, it's just not letting him click "To" etc. once he's selected them from the list.

Just had an update from the head about this, when he's searched for the contact, and clicked on their name in the results, the "To", "CC", "BCC" boxes don't become available, so he can't send them mail like that. I've not had chance to get to the PC to look properly yet as there's meetings in there all day, so thought I'd check here first... Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?

I was just about to start a new thread on this, until it suggested this as a similar thread... Is there any way around this? The new head here's asked why they're not showing up using OWA on his PC when they do using Outlook on his Laptop... Apparently it did it differently at his last school :-s Rick

The first school I worked at insisted I wore a suit every day... which I did reluctantly... Along with Steel-Toe CAT boots... The second school I worked at was a bit more relaxed, so got away with shirt and tie... Until I asked if I could wear something more suitable - polo shirt & tougher pants... Didn't really ask when I got to my current job, just started as I meant to go on... Got some dickies on order, but just wear steel-toe boots, polo shirts (primark's wicked for cheap ones, and decent sizes)... I'd hate to have to go back to shirt & tie now... far too awkward.

I've been a fan of reminiscing about the classic 80's cartoons for many years... Anyone that's near me long enough to hear my phone ring gets to reminisce too, as all my ringtones are 80's theme tunes, different ones for different people... Jimbo And The JetSet, Ulysses 31, Button Moon, Thundercats, Dogtanian, Pigeon Street, Dungeons & Dragons... The list goes on, and changes occasionally
