TIP of the day: Possible cause of crashes
TIP of the day: Possible cause of crashes
(OP)
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:
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.

RE: TIP of the day: Possible cause of crashes
on your workstation double click the clock, click on the 'time ' tab, check the box to enable time server sync, enter the IP of your server and kick the admin if he did not enable an NTP server on your workgroup/domain server.
