TIP OF THE DAY: Possible crash cause

You have a user who complains about random crashes alot and there is no explanation as to a cause. Try checking the system time on the network server and the user's computer. If there is a big difference (more than

40seconds) you may have found your problem.

Checking time difference between two XP systems or an XP system and Linux with an NTP server running:

w32tm /stripchart /computer:target /samples:n/dataonly

For target substitute the IP address of the computer on the network you want to check differences with.

For n put in 3 or 5.

How does the time difference effect my computer? My computer doesn't spend much time talking to any of the servers, especially when I am cranking hard on SW. I'm willing to try anything, but have a hard time wrapping my mind around this one. Does this only apply when running floating licenses?

has an excellent network problem solver.

I used to lug my machine around to various networks and for a long time I could no longer see other computers on the network. I could ping their IP's but not see them in explorer this site helped me solve this problem, all the other sites I searched were not anyway near as helpful as this one. FYI my main problem was that the NetBIOS node type was incorrectly set, possibly by connecting to a "certain type" of DHCP or WIN server.
