I found a utility that Microsoft wrote back in 1996 that some of you might find useful. The utility is called RichCopy and it was written specifically to work in an unstable environment that existed in the earlier days of networks.
Why use this copy program when you can drag and drop files and folders so easily? Well, for one thing, it is quite a bit faster (although the speed difference that you see may depend on your computer and the amount of data that you are copying). If you are only copying a few files or the total amount of storage is less that a few megabtyes then please continue to use the standard copy program that comes with Windows. However, if you are copying a large amount of data that takes several minutes to copy, then I think it might be worth your time to investigate this utility.

You have been out using your notebook and return to the office, set the laptop down on the docking station, and power up. After the machine is completely booted- up, you start an internet application (IE, FireFox, GroupWise, GroupWise IM), but the machine will not connect. After some troubleshooting, we figured out the problem. The Dell Control Point software is set to disable the Network card when on battery power and not connected to a network. The docking station does not re-enable the card.

Although it may seem like printing over a wireless network is magic, it's really no different than printing with a regular wired network. It doesn't matter if you connect your notebook computer to the network router or with a network cable. If one of the computers on the network has a printer attached, all of the computers on the network should be able to access it, as long as your printer is designated as "shared>

File describe a process for taking e-mail addresses from received e-mails and transforming them into groups in Groupwise. Agents and support staff may find this really useful for keeping up with club leaders/members and producer groups.
