<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I would look at the Windows
Firewall. While you don't want to disable it you probably should add the
ports that pcreserve uses. You can try disabling the windows firewall service
and verify that is it though. You can force the ports to the windows
firewall using GPO also.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>We have recently upgraded 70 public computers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The new computers are randomly and sporadically losing
connection to the PCReservation management stations and either displaying a
message asking for a library card and PIN or station unavailable. When the
error occurs the PC will also not connect to the Internet until it is
restarted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>These are identical Dell 740, XPpro, IE and FireFox,
Microsoft Steady State, latest PCReservation and LPTOne.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Uninstalled SP3<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Installed Microsoft updates<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Turned off Automatic updates<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What is making this frustrating is that it is not all the
computers and never the same computer that exhibits this behavior.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I accept the fact that it may be in Steady State but thought
I’d post here in addition to a couple other lists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any and all suggestions are welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
