I'm able to get to the internet using NAT for networking but unfortunately I need to use a VPN to access my companies network. The VPN won't work through NAT. I'm OK with using VPC2007 for now. Thanks!

tlcscousin: Yup, tried that a few times. Thanks for the advice, I will post there but I read through another post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprovirt/thread/4bb1d844-ca00-4336-9450-b04b49b9d5dd) and tried everything suggested and I had no luck. In the mean time I...

OH! Yes, i tried that too. :-( I've been fighting this for a few days now. It seems to be a problem with my Windows 7 host but I can't for the life of me figure out why. No matter what I I do the only adapters I can add to a VM or XP mode is: Not connected Internal Network Shared Networking...

David, I'm sorry but I'm not following you?

Yup. I tried enabling and disabling the integration features and no luck. My XP mode and VMs still do not 'see' my physical NIC.

Right. That is my problem. The only option(s) I have are: Not connected Internal Network Shared Networking (NAT) My physical NIC does not show up in the drop down list.

I just installed Windows 7 Pro x64 and need to have XP mode for some legacy applications. The problem I have is XP mode nor my virtual machines are able to use my physical NIC card. i.e. It is not even an option. Here is what I've done so far: Uninstalled and reinstalled XP mode and Virtual...

Our sendmail server has been working flawlessly for almost 3yrs now until recently when someone high jacked it to use as a SPAM relay. This caused our IP to be listed on a few DNSBL lists and now mail is being rejected. I requested to be removed but in the mean time I want to forward all...

Yes. The spin down is hard coded into the drive so sdparm does not work. >:-< I've been struggling with this for a few months now and I'm about the scrap the whole drive. About every few days the USB drive will 'hiccup' and starts throwing I/O errors. I have my touch scripting running as well...

Great, I'll try it and let you know.

I have a problem with my USB drives spinning down so I wrote a simple script that would 'touch' a file and copy it every minute to keep the drives alive. Now I want to take it one step further. I would like the script to check if the drive is mounted, if not try to mount it, then write to it...

Is there a way to disable the balloon tips in Lotus Notes? I like the balloon tips (pop-up description)on the tool bar but would like to disable the rest. When I hover my mouse over anything within Notes a pop-up balloon shows what I'm hovering over. This often covers up other useful...

Good to know! Thanks.

I've googled tar file sizes and I see conflicting information. I've found some posts say less than 2gb, others say 8gb max, while others say unlimited. I can't find anything on dump file sizes.

I'm using a combination of dump and tar (dump for filesystems and tar for directories) to backup my Linux systems. Some of my dump and tar files are very large (+100gb) and I'm wondering what is the limit of tar and dump files? I don't have the space to do a test restore without wiping out the...
