Hi, I have a problem and not sure what I am doing wrong. The router connects to both ISPs fine, if I ping an IP address from the router it returns all packets as expected. When I connect two laptops with ip addresses of 192.168.10.2 and 192.168.10.3 with the gateway as 192.168.10.1 I get...

Hi, I have around 80 machines using an ADSL line for http traffic only through a Cisco 877. The problem is at 8am each morning all the machines make a connection to a couple of IP addresses owned by Akamai (I am assuming for an update of some sort). I would like to limit this traffic to these...

For reasons I cannot remember a few years ago I had 2 disks in my machine and installed my OS on D drive. I proceeded to boot from D and used C as a file backup. D drive failed on me recently, I bought a new disk, popped it in and unplugged existing C so I didnt format the wrong one ;)...

Sorry, the firmware release I am after is 11.1. Thanks again

Help! I need to upgrade the firmware on above. Does anyone know where I can find the upgrade or if somebody has it sitting around would they mind e-mailing it to me? Thanks

Byuti, If you are still having problems I would try and sort out exactly what is causing it first. Can you get your friends pc to your house and dial up to the 2 different ISP's to see if it happens to his machine? If it does you can safely say the problem lies with your phone company or a...

Claudz, The first is the minimum time the packet returned, second is the average time and third is the maximum time. Basically, your tracert is returning less than 10 milliseconds for all three.

A friend of mine brought round his laptop to me tonight with a dial up problem. He could connect to his ISP but could not browse or fetch email. I proceeded to remove tcp/ip and the dial up adaptor from network and removed DUN. Re-booted and re-installed both and problem persisted. I then...

Found the problem finally on a computingnet forum. Apparently it is caused by the installation of service pack 1. I followed the instructions given on support.microsoft.com article number 329441 (remove 2 registry keys) and re-booted and hey presto, the dial up connection returned! One for the...

I am having trouble creating a dial up connection on a windows xp machine. Have run the Internet connection wizard (start > run > inetwiz), it goes through the motions asking for number to dial, username and password etc. On the last step 3of3 it asks for a name for that connection. Whatever I...

I have a dual boot system with a faulty 40gig Fujitsu and an 80 gig Deskstar. I have an install of win 98 and xp on the faulty item (which also holds boot.ini) and an install on win2k on the 80 gig. I propose to send the 40 gig back to the manufacturer for repair. Is there any way to get the...

Hi guys and gals. I need some advice. We have an NT 4 machine with service pack 5 on our network. This is a dedicated machine and only runs black ice defender and bandwidth management software. For as long as I can remember black ice has been set on cautious which blocks some traffic. Recently...

I have never been "one" for benchmark scores. Just thought it would be nice to see some comparison between the two cards. I have just run UT again after the suggestions you have made and I get 85 fps average so as you can imagine, I am extremely pleased :-) Thanks again

Absolutely smashing!!! Cheers xscape but I think I am still way short of the mark. I did as you advised and downloaded 3dmark2001. Ran the test and got a magnificent score of 656 (no digits missing just 656). BTW I have an amd 1.2 Ghz 512mb PC133 CAS2 ram twin 40 gig ata100 disks. Installed...

Not long ago now I built a new machine with mostly new parts but I took my old nvidia tnt2 m64 from my old machine and put it in the new one. I have always thought that it let the system down so went out and bought an inno3d ge force 2 mx400 with 64 mb of Ram. Before I swapped them, I ran...
