great! thanks for the info mrconfused

I guess i didn't make myself clear in the last post What i meant to ask is if it's worth the tiem and effort to set up host tables for troubleshooting/pinging on mutltiple routers. Mrconfused

From what i've read, this is what i've gather. A host table without an IGRP (or any routing) protocol is worthless because there is no way for the router to know how to reach other networks. Would it be worth the effort to have a host table on a router if i was using EGRP(or any other routing...

But you can use a host table on a router to set names for commonly used IP addresses. Which can help with troubleshooting or make life easier if your going to be testing a lot with pings. It would seem easier to type in the name than the complete address. This is what i am wondering about. And...

1.) When would you use the IGRP on a network? 2.) can you still + should you use a host table if you're using IGRP? I mean would it be pointless to do so? It seems like i'll be doing the work of IGRP if i decide to make a host table. Thanks, Mr Confused

I disabled all power management in the bios, ceh4702. As of right now i can't even get into the command prompt anymore. As of last night i shut the machine down, waited for at least 10 minutes then powered it back on. I had a win98 boot disk in the drive and it won't even boot from the disk...

Sorry to disappoint you Pshankland but I tried swapping the video card with one that i borrowed from my friend. The problem is still there. I'm pretty sure at this point that it's not a drive issue since i've also swap harddrives. Memory is pretty much almost off the list as a cause. I'd say the...

Well there's some good news and bad news. Good news: If i do a cold boot up and then hit restart it always works fine. No problems there. I can hit restart within the OS or hit the button. EIther case the machine boots up into win98 with no errors. Also after a little tweaking around in the...

All power management features are off, did that the first time I built the pc. I'll go and reset the memory, processor, and clean out the entire system again. I have 4 sticks of memory in there. The memory is registered and correct when it boots up cold and i ran a software mem tester on it...

Hey mudskipper and all for the reply:) Yes i do have a asus motherboard. The problems with "the restart problem. When you hit the reset button, you get no post, and then try to power on-you said that it did not work until you flipped the switch and waited 5 minutes or so...." (My...

The cables are all nice and tightly connected. Screws are all solid as well. I can change the ide cables to some brand new ones but the thing is my machine goes into this frozen sleep mode. And when it's in this mode I'm not even getting a video signal from the video card. Monitor light goes to...

A couple of months back i had this machine and it would freeze up at startup and totally lock. At first all signs pointed to a bad motherboard(bad pci slot/slots) but in the end the soundcard was removed and all was fine. The sound card was not replaced. Whole machine was reformatted and the...

Woot, thanks man, that cleared up a bit of the confusion for me. Now i can sit here and rack my brains out on other things heh Thanks mrconfused

From what i've heard so far there really doesn't seem like there is much of a difference between the aux port and console port. Only difference I can see is that for the console you can attach a laptop to it and configure it but you can't do it on an aux port. And both ports can support modems...

Thanks, I heard that you can actually connect a modem to the console port if you have a certain adapter. Is this true. Can you connect from one router's console to another router's/switches aux port? As to configure the second router/switch from the first? Thanks, Mr Confused
