| Q.: I have all the service packs installed but still when I try to install DNM it complains that I do not have the latest version of the Windows Installer.
How is this possible?
|
A.: When a package that uses an older Windows Installer is installed, it replaces the already installed Windows Installer. So it is possible that some package you installed on your system replaced the newer Windows Installer with an older one without your knowledge. To correct this download the latest Windows Installer from Microsoft's web site. Following are the links for windows installer for win9x and NT/2000.

| Q.: My admin just installed DNM on W2k and went away. Now I am logged in
as a normal user but I am unable to bind to the adapter. Why?
|
A.: You need to reboot your machine.
In general if the admin has not run DNM once after installation, you need to restart the system. Basically the driver
needs to be loaded on W2k/XP/NT and a normal user cannot load the driver.
The driver gets loaded automatically after a reboot if the installation was done by the admin.

| Q.: How can I find out which systems are online on my network? |
| A.: SNMP is generally used to find out which hosts are actually on line at any particular moment in time. Whereas this produces results, it ignores those systems that do not have an SNMP agent and the general picture of what is on line may be incomplete. Distinct Network Monitor includes a utility to help you find out what systems are up and running on the network and, where possible, to point out if they are also running SMTP, POP, IMAP, FTP or HTTP servers. The Distinct Discover Hosts utility uses different protocols to try to show all systems that are currently using TCP/IP and are on line. |
