Re: SBS two adapter setup with Netopia Router. Help Save my weeked

Yes I agree it has gone Wild. We ran BOSBS for years and have not had any
problems.

I have been trying to get this up and running for Tuesday AM so I am a
little stressed out. Thank you again for all your help.

From a cold( power off) F8 will start up the DSRM, give a grey screen,
run chkdsk, then goes to the black screen with safe mode in upper left
corner and then displays the now infamous lasse.exe message and then
reboots.I never gets to a desktop. I never have an opportunity to "correct my
errors. I believe if I can ever get to opens services I can indentify those
which I changed. My notes are sketchy.

I agree its probably conincendital, with the other post but it was nice to
know I am not the only one who has ever seen this type of error. I had
installed Symnatec Client Security 3.0 earlier Friday and did not seem to
have any problems except the constant alerts as it set up permissions for
each program.
