Win2K and Win XP based POS registers cannot communicate wih server

4 New Member
This is somewhat of a strange issue. Allow me to detail it as much as I can.
We use the Blackboard Transaction System (BTS) for all students dinning services. The "ENVISION" server is Running Windows 2003 Server with Oracle 8+. All clients/registers are NCR Windows-based devices with the BTS system installed. They all come pre-imaged from Blackboard. They are spread across multiple VLANs within our robust (class B) network, spread across multiple physical locations, and all use static IP addresses. Until recently, all NCR registers were Windows 98-based devices. Our problems began last year when Blackboard started shipping us Win2K-based registers. These new POS registers DO NOT or CAN NOT communicate with the ENVISION server across multiple routers or VLANs. They only work if they are attached or connected to the same local (class B) network as the server, or that network is (logically) extended to where the register is needed. If we take the same device and move it to the server network and ONLY change its IP address, it works fine. As soon as it is moved outside of that network and its IP address changed to its new local network it can no longer communicate with the server.
All windows 98-based registers work fine regardless of its location or network.
We are currently having the same issue experienced with all Win2K registers with a new shipment of Windows XP-based registers.
Here the twist: Every other TCP/IP application works fine on these new registers: Web, telnet to server over port 1312 (STI Envision), ping, tracert, map to server, etc. Only when the NEW registers try to connect to the server for the BTS system application to work is when we see a problem. Any ideas? Sorry for the LONG posting. Thanks

Hello Out there! I have a DB2 V7.2 Database (Fix11) on Win 2000 Professional. It was before a NT 4 based Domain - now it is a Win 2000 Domain. The database server is a domain member. Now sometimes Win 2000 Clients can't connect to the database. They connect over TCP/IP. The db2log says that the function getHostByName failed. It seems to be only on new installed win 2000 Workstations. Already installed WS have NOT this problem.

Hi, I`m in the process of migrating a Access 2002 (Run in 2000 mode) from Windows 98 to Win2K Server. It is a shared resource via a file share on the 98 Server.

I thought i had addressed these file locking issues, but it came apparent I hadn't when data started to get...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
