wsnt there a thread about shutting a computer down remotely??

I cant search for it.. how do i do it remotely.

And also my sound driver doesnt seem to like being used remotely. i thought i saw a console to use compatibilty mode??

You didn't even have to search for it! It was still on the first page on the networking forum:

I don't get you about the sound driver... Why are you trying to access it remotely? Perhaps you could explain some more...

If you want to search, there is a search facility at http://forums.devshed.com/search.php

hi i bought a second hand server (just a dual p3 1 Ghz) just to play around with it and win2003. i turned on router and remote access, so ICS and firewall dont work. Then my genius got to work

why not allow all the home network to access it remotely for central application server eg. internet, that way a pentium 1 233 wont be left behind for grunt.

thats why i am eager for the server to be set up as a DHCP behind the ADSL modem router

Was that link to the shutdown thread OK?

Although all that stuff about the server is very interesting, as far as I can tell, there aren't any problems which you were asking me about, were there?

(ie: just checking that it was chat rather than a problem )

i was just answering your query lol

also i tried to remotely log on to the PC from the server and use it sound card, since there is no soundcard in the server.

the driver failed !!! this is a shuttle all in one motherboard on a tiny form factor

So you're trying to logon remotely to a computer which doesn't have a soundcard and get it to play sound. I doubt this will work. The computer you're remotely logging onto would probably need a sound card in order for you to be able to play sounds remotely from it. Not sure exactly though.
