That doesn't help my problem. Thanks anyways.

Hey guys! I've got a server at home (Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2) hosting my VPN all built into the server, no special software. I can connect to it no problem (SSTP) via Windows 7 and Windows 8 no problem, but for some reason I cannot connect via Windows 10. I've tried to two different machines, and 4 different networks. I've narrowed it down to only being Windows 10. The error i receive is incorrect username/password (which i obviously know since it works on the other machines) or the connect type was inccorrect and refused. Which i've cross referenced to the working machines and its SSTP. So what am I doing wrong? I need this VPN connection for school, so time is slightly of the essence. Thanks for your time and help, -John

Wow! Thanks for the help. This looks like a good solution! One last question tho, would this give internet access to the two computers? Can I also asume the school would be taking care of DHCP and all that? Thanks!
-
The entire school is wired up for 10/100 except the two server rooms. (Neither of which I have access to.) Now I've tried contacting them but they're super tight-assy about this. Besides, I need a solution now instead having to wait well over a month to get them to talk to me (They're always behind on support tickets). Besides, I'm a volunteer at the robotics group there. I'm not even a Employee at the school.

I used a cat 6 cable when I tried connecting the Gigabit switch to the 10/100 switch. I didn't try connecting straight to the gigabit switch. I honestly didn't think it would make a difference. I can't really try this now so that's one of the issues. Any other ideas? I have a feeling it has to do with the default settings of the switch. (Like DHCP and DNS stuff but I'm not sure what to configure those to.) Thanks for all the help so far! -John

I went out and bought a managed gigabit switch. Problem is, every time I connected it to the 10/100 switch (the one that the school uses) the network would crash. I wasn't sure what to enable and disable. Any ideas?
-
Here's a diagram! The switch is hooked up to the school network and is our source of internet! Let me know if this would work. Also, how could I tell if I'm creating a "Routing loop". Thanks, -John

I've tried a gigabit swithc and everytime I hook it up to the network, the network crashes. No clue why. I was wondering if theres a way to get the server, and two computers to "daisy chain" to each other (Much like what is described in this one of Linus' videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu6jlA7hPj8 ) and still have internet/network access to the school network.
-
No. They're limited to 10/100. And there's only one server, and two client computers. Thanks!

So here's my situation: I've got two workstations [both with two gigabit ethernet ports] and a small NAS/Domain server (server does roaming profiles and such)[The server also has 2 gigabit ethernet ports on it]. Now these workstations profiles boot off of the server, and also use the server as a NAS for the shared and large amount of data storage needed. The difficulty is that this is all at a high school for the kids there. I don't have access to anything other than what the school network has already provided. Sadly, this is a locked down 10/100 network. I need a much faster speed between the computers and the server. My question is, how do I achieve this? I've tried putting a crossover cable between the computers and only one from the school network to one of the computers, and then bridging that network but that somehow crashed the network at the school and I had to wait an entire day before it rebooted. Any other ideas? Thanks, -John

So creating a Domain and user accounts on this domain on my server, will store all the user account documents and folders on the server or on the local machine? Thanks for all the help,

Hey everyone! I have two monster desktop computers (running windows 7) that are used by kids at a school I volunteer at and I have a third computer that runs as a server (Running windows server 2012 essentials r2). At this moment, that server is nothing more than a network server but I'd love for it to also be an account server for the two other computers I spoke about. The intent is that the two computers are nothing more than power houses that doesn't really store any account information. I want them to be able to store the "My Downloads","My Desktop","My Music","My Videos","My Documents" etc folders on the server computer and the two computers simply access them. Is there a way to do this? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? Other features I'd love to have is: -Logging off a student from the other computer if he tries to logon into the other one. -Ability to easily create new accounts -Ability to use pictures/password instead of username/password for ease of identification of account. -Accounts automatically have access to network drive on creation/login Any ideas? Thanks, -John

Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition & Gigabyte X79-UD3 GIVEAWAY!
DeadlyJohny replied to LinusTech's topic in LTT Releases
Even if I dont' win, I do hope the winner deserves it! Enjoy the new stuff and be sure to let everyone know what your gonna do with all that power! :D Thanks to Intel and Gigabyte for sponsoring LinusTechTips. Always been an Intel fan and I love the Gigabyte Motherboards! Congrats to the winner! -
I plan on getting a managed switch to connect the workstation and server together. So this should work. Too bad Win 8 doesn't natively support Teaming. Confuses me why MotherBoard manufactures even include dual gigabit if OS's generally do not have the ability to handle them. :\

That's awesome and all but that requires buying a $150 NIC. :\
