    Server 2k3 crashed with 3rd modem

No memory dump. The server itself has one serial port, which has a pre-existing Multitech modem on it, and...

    How to change file location for file DSN

    Hi, I'm using the version of CR that comes with Visual Studio 2k5, I'm pretty sure that's the .NET 2005 version.. In my report I have the Data Source set to be a File DSN based at "c:\xxxxx". However, on one machine the drives are mapped differently, there is no c: drive on that machine.. Just...

    Trouble with newly run cord..

    Hey Brian, I'm a programmer, so I probably screwed up the terms :) I'm using one cable to extend the circuit, and the other for some other networking needs.. The reason for the different bldgs is we're moving offices, and the telcom is slow to move the circuit. Not to mention they want to...

    Trouble with newly run cord..

    Skip... What type of fiber do you recommend? I purchased cat5e from HomeDepot to run between the bldgs.. I'll back off in the foot markings, they probably are there, and I didn't realize it... I appreciate all the recommendations, they are very helpful.. dw

    Trouble with newly run cord..

    Syquest.. The line from the demarc to the circuit box is as you describe, the cat5 I'm running is from that circuit box to the router, which must be a cat5.. however, thanks for that post.. I'm marking it to read thoroughly later. Peter.. Thanks for that, I think I'll go that route, much...

    Trouble with newly run cord..

    I suppose, my main question is there a way to determine if it's a length issue, or a break somewhere that I can't find? Is there a tool that would do this sort of thing?
