    Migrating NT4 domain to W2K

    Question for you MCSEs out there. My firm has an NT4 domain controller, which is also the Exchange server (Exchange 5.5). There is also an NT4 BDC and a site Exchange server at our second smaller office (linked via VPN). All our other servers are already running Windows 2000 Server and are just...

    Made my day..

    On my way into Manchester this morning, traffic fairly heavy as usual, some tw*t in an Alfa Romeo 147 (1.6 model) suddenly appears right up my backside. Next thing he overtakes me but so close that he very nearly rips my wing mirror off , he then squeezes infront of me. Totally pointless...

    WTF!

    Oh dear. The 'piece de resistance' is the R32 sticker in the window. (BTW, Taken from the MKIVs forum, they think it looks sh*t as well)

    How much does the heat affect BHP??

    Question for those of you in the know. On the rare days when the temperature gets up in the high 20s upwards, what sort of drop in power will a 1.8T engine see? I'd like to know because I've convinced myself that my car is noticeably slower when the sun shines. Cheers, Christian

    Had my car on the rollers yesterday...

    Managed 166BHP and 169 lb/ft of torque . Not bad for a standard 1.8T. The Revo guys were in attendance, my car felt MUCH faster on the way home. Strange that . Cheers, Christian

    Flame Room??

    Question for the Admins. Any chance of having a dedicated Flame Room on the board? Somewhere where we can moan about anything and everything and get stuff off our chests . Main reason I want one is because I've seen one on another forum (ahem ) and it was fecking hilarious reading some of the...

    Isn't it great when...

    ...you can have a good play with another car, by which I mean a 'race' in a loose sense of the word, and then give each other a friendly wave when going your separate ways. Happened to me last night. I had a proper good blast along some dual carriageway with a Mini Cooper, once we finally went...

    New alloys

    Finally got p*ssed off with my weedy 16" alloys, the other major ballache was the fact that they were an absolute bitch to keep clean. Managed to get some brand new 17" Santa Monica replicas for £470 fitted and with brand new Avon tyres. This included a £230 trade in for my old Montreal...

    Fancy a bargain?

    How about an RS4 for £27000 or maybe an S3 for £12500? Only downside is they are LHD and you'd have to travel to Germany to buy them. I often have a look at the German equivalent of Autotrader, this is their website It's in German (obviously) but it's fairly obvious where to enter the make...

    Subaru Impreza III

    Anyone on here driven one of the facelifted Imprezas? They seem like a bit of a bargain now, more BHP, more torque but better fuel consumption and lower emissions (important for a company car driver). All for a fiver under £20000. I think that looks wise they aren't too bad now, bad interiors...

    Any terminal server experts??

    I've set up a Windows 2000 terminal server at work to allow staff to work remotely more effectively. Problem is if the users aren't, as a minimum, Power Users they can't use a certain legacy application that we run. Unfortunately though Power Users also have the ability to shut the server down...

    Golf MkV

    Does anyone have any photos and details of the Golf MkV, when it's coming out, engine options etc..?? I've seen plenty of stuff in the mags about the new A3 but very little about the Golf. Cheers, Christian

    Can anyone recommend?

    The balancing has been out on my Golf for a few months now. It originally started after having two new front tyres fitted, the familiar vibration through the steering wheel at 70mph+. I took the car to National and had the balancing checked, they said it was slightly out and sorted it. I still...

    COM port sharing

    Bit of a boring IT question but can anyone recommend some decent software for sharing a modem on a Windows 2000 server? The client PCs need to see the modem on a virtual COM port. I've tried Tactical Softwares Dialout server product but can't get it to work, their tech support guys seem clueless...
