I have a laptop (WinXP Pro, SP1) that is connected to an external monitor. Until recently, when the laptop was connected to the monitor, the monitor was the primary, and the laptop display secondary (the desktop icons and taskbar were on the external monitor). Now, for some reason, it has...

Thanks. I guess it's an issue of what "type" means. From a content pespective, it's a plain text file. But it appears Windows doesn't care what the content of a file is, just its extenstion. Thanks for the software tip. I'll check it out. Mark -- How can you be in two places at once when...

I have a problem that I thought SP2 was supposed to fix, but does not seem to have. I frequently do text searches within files. Windows rarely comes back with the correct results. For example, I just copied some text from a plaintext file in a directory. I then pasted that same text into the...

Thanks. I figured that was the case, but was hoping for some creative workaround. I guess I'll figure out a way to do it with tables and an IFRAME. -- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

Thanks, but actually, what I need is to have one or three select boxes (say, size 10), where if I scroll the first box, the other two boxes scroll with it. I have three data items. Right now they are in three different select boxes (two of which are disabled). Here's what the code looks like...

Just buy a wireless access point and attach it to your network and a card for your laptop. No need to get another router. -- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

I've got a page with three "SELECT" elements. I need three distinct columns, which is why I'm using three elements. But all the data is related. Item 4 in element 1 is related to item 4 in element 2 and 3. I'd like to find a way to scroll the three select boxes together. That is, if I grab the...

Make sure there is a mercury.ini file. That seems like what Mercury does when it can't find an INI file. -- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

From the Linksys web site (a profoundly useful place to look for info): So I'd guess you can use a drive of any size. [noevil] -- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

Agreed. Unless you need the router to do some serious filtering or complex routing, pipe size is definitely the critical factor. The only caveat is to think to the future. If you think things will grow in the near future (<2 years), it might be worthwhile go spend the extra $. But in 2 years...

As I said, from OUTSIDE your network, try to telnet to your server on port 25 (SMTP), not port 110(POP3). You need to find out if the problem is between your server and hte internet, or within the server itself. If I understand your problem correctly, if I were to send you email, you would not...

You might also consider using arrays. Something like this: $lowerbound[0]=0.00; $upperbound[0]=500.00; $lowerbound[1]=0.00; $upperbound[1]=5.99; That way you can reference the bounds directly through the $searchprice var. $lowerbound[$searchprice] $upperbound[$searchprice] -- How can you be...

You said that you want to pull prices in a certain range. How is that range defined? You could have two drop downs, or if you have a single drop down, the VALUE of the OPTIONs should be something that can be separated out to identify the range. Or you can identify the lower (or upper) limit, and...

ugh.. there should be a DSL "modem" between "Internet" and "Airport" above. -- How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

A few questions to clarify: The airport is acting as a DHCP server, right? Is the File Server a DHCP client, or a DHCP server? What is the topology of the network? That is, how exactly is the network physically set up? What I would suggest is the following: internet | | Airport |...
