<<You have Win2k3 used as a Video Player through the TV? Your pockets must be deep for that.>>
MSDN aliance, its ownly installed there untill i know what i am doing with it for where it should go, then my server will go back to 2000, or if i get a linux distro to "just work" it will go that way.
its not a problem untill the server is live? now it doesnt get rebooted, but who sends a computer live before finalising the set up?
