In my office, we have a Microsoft Server and about 15 networked LaserJet 4+s, with a few 5s thrown in. Although cheap to run and generally reliable, they are 20 years old and showing their age. I would like to start replacing them with newer laser printers, preferably all-in-ones (we do a lot...

I have continued to investigate and experiment (much to the chagrine of my family), and have reached a few conclusions. The problem appears to arise primarily when both the cable and dsl connections are active. Furthermore, the symptoms seem to vary depending upon the firmware version. Using...

This problem has me stumped. I have a Hawking H2WR54G Dual WAN wireless 4-port router. Periodically (pretty darned frequently, actually) we lose the ability to access the web. We are not cut off from the internet, however, because we can still get Email. I have tried to disable both the NAT...

I recently installed the Netgear FVL328 at my office, replacing a smaller Linksys VPN router (which, in turn, replaced another Linksys VPN router). I have been able to establish a successful VPN connection using Netgear's VPN software. (I used a modified version of the sample included with...

All of the sudden, this morning it is working. I have changed nothing. Go figure.

I have a Netgear FVL328 and the Netgear client software. I configured it all pretty much like the example in the manual. I can make a connection, but I cannot see anything on the network. I cannot log into the Netware server nor ping anything. I feel like I must be missing something very...

Are there any opinions on the Netgear FVL328 VPN/Firewall/Router? I am thinking about getting it bundled with the 5 user VPN client license (total cost under $300). If I can read the tea leaves properly, I think their client is an updated version of the old SSH Sentinel, now licensed from Safenet.

We have a Linksys BEFSX41, which seems to be dying. It replaced a BEFVP41, which died. I want to replace it with something a little more durable. Plus, the two Linksys router/VPN Endpoints left me with several concerns. First, I have always been worried about security, both in terms of the...

We have various versions of Outlook that utilize an exchange 5.5 server as the central data store, as well as the conduit for internal emails. External emails all go in and out directly between Outlook and the Internet through a central gateway. The problem is that on some of the computers...

That's it. I was using Go Back. This morning, I tried to hook the drive to my home computer. This computer also uses Go Back. Apparently, it takes one to know one. In other words, I can now access the drive just fine! Now, I will try to mirror it so that I have a complete clone. Thanks all.

But I can get the system to boot from the (original) primary master. The problem is that Windows will not assign a drive letter to either partition of the notebook drive. I can see the notebook drive just fine from the Disk Management utility, I just can't access it. Will setting it up as a...

My notebook computer just died, with lots of info on it. Before sending it out to be fixed, I pulled out the hard drive to try to copy the data off. However, I cannot seem to access the drive. The now-dead notebook used Windows XP Home, and the hard drive, which was formatted as NTFS, has two...

We've tried that repeatedly. However, one mailbox (mine) remains inaccessible. If I could simply delete it and start over again, that would be great. However, that does not seem to work.

After some serious problems with the data store on our Exchange Server 5.5, and running the ESEUTIL and ISINTEG utilities until the cows came home, it is now up and running. The only one still having problems is me. I alone am running Outlook 2003. When I try to syncronize in cached mode...

I am having a devil of a time getting Outlook 2003 to work. We are on a mixed network, including an NT server running Exchange 5.5. The individual computers each have some version of Outlook. Mine is 2003. My problem is that Outlook has problems downloading Internet emails from our ISP's...
