I will be installing SBS 2003 after going to a Black Friday sale.

I will first on Friday, go to a store for their Black Friday sale if anything good this year, then I'll head in to work, finish moving data off the servers to the PC's HD for temp stoarge (safer than tape backup. I have 4 complete backups (some I tested restore on, works) and then it is wipe and INSTALL SBS 2003 Premium. www.microsoft.com/sbserver . I have Dell's (For the PowerEdge), Microsoft, and Veritas (Tape Backup program) printed off next to my PC just in case.

Hope everything goes well. :)

Adware break your Internet connection in Win XP? Try this software.

WinSock XP Fix 1.2

WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings. If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try. It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored
