I would agree with your client's main IT guy. I'm betting that the directory structure changed with the upgrade.

Ah. Win2003 tightens security a bit. It does not allow "2-hop" authentication - i.e. from a user to another server to the authentication server. It only authenticates for users connecting directly.

So, we've seen a recommended workaround and now we're playing with stuff along the lines of:

Set objUser = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=delegate,authority=kerberos:DC1}")

We don't understand winmgmts (WMI) much at all so we haven't gotten it to work yet.

interesting. Thanks for the update.

Awhile ago I mentioned thinking it would be neat if Opera could read the threadsuck to me, so I make a python script to make the suck more Opera reading friendly.

It could probably be more elegant, but it's the first time I've used python and it was pretty quick and dirty. Anyhow, the first argument is the input file (a threadsuck saved to disk) and the second argument is the output file (an html file). I only use Opera for listening to web text, for some reason I just like the way Firefox works better.

I have a TV. It is new (this year). I have four options for Closed Captioning, C1, C2, T1 and T2. C1 works for TV. The thing I can't figure out is how to get the closed captioning on DVD's that do not have subtitles. For example, Reefer Madness claims to be closed captioned for the deaf, as does Veronics Mars, and people keep telling me to "use the captioning through my TV". But I can't get it to work.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what make or model my TV is.

Does anyone have any idea (I have tried each option in sucession and that did not work)

Hi. I'm sure this question has been asked numerous times in this thread, but now it's finally my turn!

What digital camera should I buy? Where should I get it? My price range is $200-$300, and I would prefer one that can do video too.

So. How can an IIS server query a Windows Authentication server to get the expiration date of a user's password?

Firefox question: Is it possible to end up at the same place on the page where I started from, when I hit the back button?

Firefox question: Is it possible to end up at the same place on the page where I started from, when I hit the back button?

If the page had an anchor hitting the back button will get you back to the anchor.

For example:

click this link: [link]

move to to another, then hit the back button.

You will end up around the subhead "Positive Feedback". note that even if you scrolled elsewhere on the page, that is where th back button would take you.
