Alternate Access Mapping
Okay, to do this, Central Administration, Alternate Access Mappings, right side....
Scenario----You want to make your sharepoint site open to the public from the internet, how do you do it?
Click edit public urls button
Alternate Access Mapping Collection drop down, drop down to your main portal site
In your default field type the internet url, such as http://sharepoint.mydomain.com
Add internal urls that match your host headers if you have any.
Add mysites.mydomain.com to a custom internal url.
That should do it.

Searching for people does not come back with results
In search center you attempt to search for people and the results are blank.
In your ssp admin page, search settings, content sources. Edit the local sharepoint servers. Make sure sps3://mysites/ is there in the list and if you are using host headers make sure you have sps3://mysites.blankblank.com. Select full crawl and now the people should show up in your search.

Adding images to filetypes in SharePoint
First, you need to obtain the images of the icons you want and make sure they are 16 x 16. Then, upload them to the sharepoint server, in this directory, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\IMAGES
next, add them to the docicon.xml file located here, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML .
do a iisreset and you are done.
these need to be scaled down.

Creating custom search scope for your search center
have loads of sharepoint sites, dont want to do a generic search all sites from the search center? Then, create individual scopes to scale down the search, just like the search on the individual sites.
First thing to do, go into your ssp admin, search settings, create new scope (call it what your site is). Then click on the rule link to create the rule. I used the web option, then added the link to the site itself.
Once you have created all your scopes, and they r ready to be used, go into your actual site, under site settings, all settings. Under site collection administration, click search scopes. Create new display group.
Last step is to modify the web part so that the new display group is dispalyed. Site actions, edit page, modify web part. In the Search Box tool pane, click the plus sign (+) next to Miscellaneous. In the Scope Display Group text box, type the name of the display group that you want to use, and then click Apply. Click OK to close the tool pane.
On the Search Center page, click either Publish or Check In to Share Draft, depending on your site permissions and workflow.

Windows XP issues a 'Delayed Write Failed' message when you perform file management tasks
Turn off Enable write caching on the disk:
1. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to right-click your disk and press Properties.
2. Select the Hardware tab.
3. Select the disk and press the Properties button.
4. Select the Policies tab.
5. Clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box.
6. Press OK and OK.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each disk.
Another possible cause of this is your sql server is out of disk space because the db files on stored on the c drive.
Last possible reason you need to bump the maximum file size in your web.config on your Sharepoint server under inetpub directory. maxRequestLength property

Increase maximum file size for uploading in SharePoint
Got to SharePoint Central Administration page
Under Application Management on Web Application General Settings in section "Maximum Upload Size" you can specify the file upload size you wish. By default it is 50mb.
