Thanks for the reply. I never thought to check the mobo manufacturer. BTW, the mobo is an asus p4t-e. Thanks, Troy Williams E.I.T. fenris@hotmail.com

This is the error message that I am receiving when I try to stop my usb camera properly. It worked perfectly for a few months then I got a sony 64mb USB drive (the little keychain type). That worked a couple of times then I started to get the error message saying that It could not stop the usb...

I have a program that collects activity duration data in the form of an activity start date (and time) to it's end date (and time). For example activity A started 09/23/2002 10:48 am and ended 09/23/2002 1:21 pm. I need to be able to construct a sql query that captures the activity durations...

From what I remember, you can't get rid of bad sectors. Take, for instance, scandisk. Scandisk basically looks at the disk and if it finds any bad sectors flags them so that the OS doesn't write to it. There are always bad sectors, even on brand new drives, due to the manufacturing process. The...

It looks like you are almost there! You say: "However the only way I can access the internet is by statically assigning the dns server addresses for the campus network statically to each of my three computers behind the router." This is how it should be have. What you need to do is...

You may still be having heat issues. Make sure the fan is on correctly, you may even want to try some heat sink compound. When something like this occurs I usually get out a really bright flash light and examine the motherboard (while the computer is powered down!) for little burn marks. If you...

Barry, Setting a partition aside for the swap file is the right thing to do. Look at linux, you have to create a special partition called a swap partition. The reason why your partition is 118mb is because you are probably using fat16 instead of fat32. You are using an odd program to create...

There really is not easy solution. I have seen slick packages that do this, but they are designed to monitor large corporate networks. I have also seen hardware that does this but it is expensive. Since this is a small network, you could put in some logging software on the computers that you...

How does the host machine access the dsl modem, is it PPPOE or DHCP? If is is PPPOE then there should be a client that logs onto the ISP's network. This may be the reason why the host machine has to connect first to the internet before the clients can access it. Also the PPPOE may time out and...

Have you tried a traceroute to the printserver? To perform a traceroute, at a command prompt type: tracert printserver Remember to replace the printserver with the name of the printserver, also try it with the ip. The tracert command will basically map a path of where the packets are going...

XP Home is missing the two way firewall that Pro has. XP home can only block incomming requests but lets everything out. XP can block both ways. Mind you I don't even use the firewall as it is not as informative as zonealarm and I have a hardware based router. There is a policy editor (I can't...

I was hoping someone who had done something similar would reply, Thanks! You have a very interesting approach. I'll have to ponder it for a while to see how I can adapt it. From what I can see it would lend it self very well to an access db format. Thanks again for the informative and very...

Apparently, the networking components of PGP hosed windows XP network components. Type this at the command prompt: sc config ipsec start= system See the article http://www.mccune.cc/PGPpage2.htm#WindowsXP for detailed explaination. Troy Williams E.I.T. fenris@hotmail.com
