 | if you're trying to dial to your server at work, I suppose we'd all like to know what kind of server you use there  |
| | as to the story, I think the license was pirated. I've reactivated OEM XPs so many times I can't even begin to count them, and MS never asked for money. Last week a client bought a 64bit edition of Server2003, and after he installed and activated it he realised his … |
| | try to install another browser (firefox, maxthon) and browse through it. could be IE acting up |
| | [quote=jbennet;335013]i cant torrent or ftp, i have to use http because my isp only allows about 4 ports :([/quote] sheesh, what kind of ISP is that? |
 | you can try playing with the MTU. it's probably at 1492 now, try to change to to smaller values, like 1300.  |
| | I use AntiVir by Avira. free, light and a good catcher. Haven't updated my XP since SP1 and still no problems |
| | Let me get the config right - you had a DNS of your own (what kind, btw? it might be important) and you also transferred the zone to your ISP, who actually bcasted it to the root servers (was the authoritative DNS for the zone). now you've removed your internal … |
| | usb printers aren't too good with these. but lpt printers work like a charm |
| | active directory depends very heavily upon the dns service, for logons and routine work. check your server logs and look up the dns errors on the MS site |
 | superBB would have local server farms go bankrupt. right now you can't get a good upload rate at home here, and server farms charge over $100/month for a 1U slot. |
| | Re: Fedora Freezes had the same prob. with centos5. it installed well on an older PC with an old sata controller, but on a new mb it didn't want to install, popping up different errors every time. bought a cheapo SiS sata card and it fixed everything |
| | windows is easy, many mcsa/mcse ppl out there who know how to work it. linux is much harder, but it's a fire-and-forget kind of system, maintenance is minimal once it's up and running. |
| | bad idea. backing up lots of info on wifi is a long and excruciating process. on a wired network though, it would be very easy - just connect the hdd to a pc, share it, and dump whatever you need to backup through the network to that share |

| | [B]You may have been using Linux too much when...[/B] Here are a few basic signs that it might be time to go outside for some fresh air. You become very, very confused when pressing the "tab" key does not fill in the rest of what you were typing. The phrase …  |
| | Flash drive - some generic 512mb thing. Puter: Dell Lattitude d510 XPsp2pro On any other computer the drive once plugged in detects and apperas in "my computer". on this laptop what happens is: the flashdrive's led lights up for a couple of seconds and turns off in device manager a … |
| | Been invited by a large company to work in Dublin, Ireland. Anyone already working there? I've got a ton of questions :) F1! |
 | good post, I'll see if I can have my UPS in the server room send an SMS through that if it fails during a weekend :) |
| | get a router and the rj45 cables. straight, not crossover. btw, why is crossover more expensive? I mean, it's the same cable with the same connectors and the same amount of work is done to make them  |
| | |
| | Re: Slow localhost the router has nothing to do with it. but your configuration is still a bit of a mess, that is theoretically right, but windows keeps screwing it up. Why not run apache on a VM under linux, as it should be run, and while you're at it, set up bind … |
| | if I were you, I'd install webmin on the server, instead of trying to log into GUI. Much more secure and very convenient. You can d/l it for almost any distro out there |
| | |
| | [quote=cutepinkbunnies;349895]Web Server - Microsoft IIS Server, Apache[/QUOTE] that depends on what the company is using. in any case, apache is much more secure and robust, especially v1.3 [QUOTE] Exchange - Obviously Microsoft Exchange :)[/QUOTE] yup. 2003, not 2007, cos it's still a bit buggy. in any case the mail server … |

| | do you have speakers? are they on? is volume on minimum? are the speakers plugged in? (sorry about that, but it's something I had to ask) what's in the hardware list? do you see the audiocard there? |
| | |
| | ERD commander or SAM explorer are your best friends ;) |
| | |
| | is there any negative effect you might be witnessing, except for the red marks in the logs? |
| | might be a leftover problem from SAV or something of the kind. try to telnet [url]www.google.com[/url] 80 another problem I've encountered here similar to yours was a windows glitche, repaired by removing the user profile, and building it from scratch again - it seemed to have reset some internal setting … |
| | Re: File extensions just rightclick the file and choose "open with" play around with that interface, everything is in there |
| | Re: domain help probably the shares aren't configured correctly try to see how they are configured on the computers that work  |
| | welcome indeed, it's been around for a while now ;) |
| | what's in your hosts file? do you manage to ping external IPs, or hostnames?  |
| | restore the files form a backup. if backup is unavailable... well I use R-Studio |
| | level-1 routers do not disconnect you for having too many connections. but I'd keep emule connections below 254 anyhow actually, level-one is the best cheap-type router family I've ever dealt with. much better than d-link for sure, not to mention 3-com's disastrous officeconnect family. |
 | Fedora is a very buggy distro. Probably because the RH developers use it for testing on innocent civilians, Microsoft style. But there's always CentOS and WhiteBox (and probably several others I don't know of). Anyhow, this whole Meris propaganda looks pretty lame to anyone who knows anything about linux. Because …  |
| | [quote=jbennet;334491]Go tools -> optons -> connections tab Look under where it says dialup/vpn connections and tell it never to dial your VPN conenction[/quote] +1 |
| | before you go into virus testing, have a look at the following: 1. in CLI enter "ipconfig /flushdns" 2. try to manually enter your provider's DNS, or even better - call support and have them check whether they can resolve your adresses. 3. check c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to see whether there are … |
| | first, have a look here: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation[/url] after that let us all know what kind of equipment you are using, what OSes, what is the budget... anything else you feel is relevant, like traffic volumes, types of applications passing through |
| | if ICQ is online and everything else isn't, it's a dns problem call your ISP and ask them to direct you to manually set up their dns addresses |
| | |
| | Re: server help LOL whoever lets people like this do serious things? anyhow, what exactly are you trying to do, what is your level of IT understanding? (is there any at all, because saying "server XP 2003 is rather... hm...) what is the server used for? who installed it and for what purpose? … |
| | try typing ping 192.168.1.1 if you get a reply, your router is alive. in any case when you upgrade your firmware all settings get reset, so you have to reconfigure your router |
| | do you have a router at all, ir is it an ad-hoc network between two desktops? |
| | I use a router at home. it keeps attackers out. and a good antivirus to stop trojans from getting out. if you're connected directly, without a router I'd suggest comodo or zonealarm. |
