Broadband Connection
Sparky wired up a new building but labeled the ADSL line incorrectly.
This caused quite a bit of confusion for the ISP and 3 different
technicians.
Solution: If the DSL light on the modem is flashing then there is no
broadband connection. Try other lines and see if the light stops
flashing.
File Share on a Vista
installation
A new building has an RJ45 jack point at the POS location.
When we networked SoEasy as per the instructions the following was
observed:
1. If the POS workstation connected to the SoEasy
data files on the server, and then the server opened SoEasy, the file
share was fine.
2. If we opened SoEasy on the sever first and then
opened SoEasy on the POS, the system would just halt as the files were
accessed by the POS. There was actually no network activity displaying
on the workstation at all (see the small computer icons on the status
bar). When the server logged off SoEasy, the workstation activated the
connection.
3. When we move the POS ws to another location,
everything worked.
Possible problem: Damaged cables or incorrectly
wired RJ45 sockets.
Update (3/5/2008)
The CACLS.EXE command line could have helped diagnose the
above issue.
We have many Vista Network installations that have run without problem
and the possibility is that the original Vista Installation in the above
case was corrupted. |
