I am an ITT tech student. In order to further me education, I have built a small four computer lan. I have an NT server,two 2000 workstations and a duall boot 95/RH linux 7.2 workstation to test and expand what I learn. I also have a girlfreind and 5 kids to use as ginni pig users. But I have run into what i beleive is a permissions problem that affects users and domain users but not administrators. First a program wksCal.exe wont respond when you log off and only administrators have access to brouser plugins like flash(my kids like zoogdisney.com). Can anybody point me in the right direction? These are things i must know before i get to the real world of IT. Thanks

You are correct with the flash plugin on websites. You must have admin permission in order to install this. One other big problem I have had in the real world is with webex. If you do not have admin rights on the computer that is trying to log into a meeting, you cannot because there is some software that is similar to a plugin that must be installed first (this is done behind the scenes). One trick I have found in 2000 is to hold shift, right click iexplore.exe and select run as. Then youcan run IE as an administrator and install Flash, etc. Hope my two cents helps.
