I have one single computer in my home and my operating system is Windows XP Home. My ISP is Cox cable and therefore my network connection is a LAN connection. My system includes a Linksys router/firewall which is installed between my ethernet card and my Cox cable modem. I installed the router solely to use it as a firewall.

My Network Places has a sub-category named Entire Network and that sub-category has three sub-sub-categories:

(1) Microsoft Terminal Services (which is empty)

(2) Microsoft Windows Network (which contains My Workgroup)

(3) Web Client Network (which contains Www.linksys.com)

I have some questions for which I would appreciate answers from any of you:

(a) What is the Web Client Network (in simple, laymen terms)??

(b) Do I really need it or can it be deleted?

(c ) Why does it contain Www.linksys.com and how did it get there? Should it be there?

(d) How do I add or delete URLs (such as Www.linksys.com) from the Web Client Network? When I right-click on Www.linksys.com, the only available options are Expand, Open, Create Shortcut, and Properties.

Thanks in advance,

Milt Beychok

That is for WebDav connections

Here is everything you would ever want to know about WebDav -- http://www.webdav.org/

In simple terms - it's a file sharing protocol supported by some web servers, ie http://www.msnusers.com/ supports it - I would have to say, since your seeing www.linksys.com - that they support it too?

If you turn off the WebDav redirector (web client service) This listing should disappear from "My Network Places"

Thanks very much for your help. But just how do I turn off the web client service? When I right click or regular click on the Web Client Network icon, there is no option provided for removeing or disabling the service.

Any ideas on how to do it?

    • I had this issue and it is a nova android conflict issue. Initially the only way to fix it was clicking the screen off and then back on. Figured out it was because of a task I set up in tasker to load certain apps when I connect to my car, so fixed it by adding a 'go home' task after the app loaded and rarely have the issue now
    • I wish one of the windows updates hadn't broken glass. Is there a workaround for that I'm not aware of?
    • OpenAI announces o3 Pro, its most intelligent reasoning model by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced o3-pro, its flagship reasoning model that uses more compute to "think harder" and provide consistently better answers. This new model will be replacing o1-pro in ChatGPT since it consistently performs better in math, science, and coding. To help everyone make the most out of the model, o3-pro supports tool calling. So, based on the user prompt, the model can do a web search, analyze files, reason about visual inputs, use Python, personalize responses using memory, and more. This is a big improvement over o1-pro, which lacked access to tools. But the downside is that o3-pro will take more time to respond. OpenAI recommends users use o3-pro in cases where reliability matters more than speed. According to OpenAI's evaluations, users consistently preferred o3-pro's responses over o3 in key domains like science, education, programming, business, and writing help. o3-pro was also rated consistently higher for clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction-following, and accuracy. The new o3-pro model is available in ChatGPT's model picker for Pro and Team. ChatGPT's Enterprise and Edu users will get access to this latest model next week. For developers, the o3-pro model comes with a 200,000 context window and is priced at $20 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens. OpenAI recommends developers use background mode with o3-pro to prevent timeouts. And the model has a May 31, 2024 knowledge cutoff. The OpenAI team also noted the following as the current limitations of the o3-pro model: At the moment, temporary chats are disabled for o3-pro as we resolve a technical issue. Image generation is not supported within o3-pro—please use GPT-4o, OpenAI o3, or OpenAI o4-mini to generate images. Canvas is also currently not supported within o3-pro. As OpenAI continues to refine its models, the balance between speed and reliability will likely remain a key consideration for users choosing the right tool for their needs.
