The first thing is the windows built in zip utility found on windows xp pro. I know that windows 2003 server, and win xp home does not have this feature. but with some easy looking it is able to be obtained.
to check to see if you have the file but it's not being used go to your windows folder (eg. c:\windows ; c:\winnt). then find the system32 folder.
now look for the file zipfldr.dll
if it's their you can scroll down a bit, if not you might have to do some searching. if you can find a win xp pro cd it'll be in the i386 folder saved as
zipfldr.dl_
you have to first expand that file then move it to the windows/system32 folder to do that do this.
copy zipfldr.dl_ to your local c: drive
hit the start button go to run.... type in cmd then hit enter
that will bring up a command window. type the following 5 lines:
cd c:\
expand zipfldr.dl_ zipfldr.dll
copy zipfldr.dll c:\windows\system32
cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
a window should pop up that says that it registered that file. i found it best to restart aftwards so that everything takes affect and that windows associates .zip files with that program. otherwise you have to right click and use the extract feature. if you had that file than only typeing the last 2 lines in the command window is sufficiant.
on to the windows 2003 server question.
I have 3 computers setup here at my house.
servers (win 2003 server; 192.168.0.1)
ertbox (win xp pro; 192.168.0.2)
katert (win xp home; 192.168.0.3)
my internet is connected to ertbox and the other 2 computers use ertbox's ip for their default gateway, dhcp server, and dns server. (the first one i agree with, but the other dhcp and the dns i question..but it works)
i turned on remote access for servers and set up user accounts. i can now log on using anyname from either ertbox or katert by using remote access to 192.168.0.1.... BUT i CAN'T by using servers
i can ping 192.168.0.1, but i can't ping servers. interestingly if i do that on katert it says pinging servers (192.168.0.42) !!!! when i first setup servers it used that ip address automagically. all three are on the workgroup mshome, but only ertbox and katert can see each other. servers can not see nor be seen by either or.
what am i missing????? why can't it access it by the name? i want to cause i have files on ertbox i want want to put on servers. I do have filesharing on too on all 3.
thanx guys
