    PIX 506e won't start

    This pix was working fine for a few years, then it went out. When I attempt to power it on, the network LED (on front panel) will blink on/off and the fan will cycle at the same time the LED is blinking. I've taken off/on the power harness to the system board, but no luck. I'm wondering if...

    Problem with memory & laptop

    TeamToshiba -- The memory that I bought was stated to be compatible with the Portege 7200cte. I bought memory from Kahlon, 18004memory, 4allmemory (which gave me samsung) and none worked. Only Crucial said that the memory is special and they don't carry it. Also, since there's no image or...

    Problem with memory & laptop

    Thanks Tony, I've sent this seller an email asking if he's certain that the memory will work in a 7200cte. I'm hoping that it does.

    Problem with memory & laptop

    Roger, I've updated the BIOS from 1.60 > 1.80 already and I have set the BIOS to default settings and still the same thing. I don't know how the slot would've gotten damaged because the cover is always on and 50% of the time it's in the docking station. Plus, it's never been dropped or roughly...

    Problem with memory & laptop

    I tried the Kingston 256 memory first, with no luck. Everytime I install any memory, I run Memtest86+ before doing anything else. Each time the memory fails immediately. This happens no matter whose memory I use. So far I've used Kingston, memory from 18004memory (about 3 different types)...

    Problem with memory & laptop

    I've tried Memtest86+ on the 5 different modules that I bought (and returned). All of them failed immediately. The laptop has only 1 slot in it and I've been trying 256mb. There is 64mb onboard and when I remove the 256mb (any of the ones I've tried) the laptop works fine and am able to...

    Problem with memory & laptop

    I have a Toshiba Portege 7200 and I'm having some trouble with loading any OS (any Windows or Linux). I''ve put new memory in (all new and from various vendors) and boot up, then go into the bios. I see that the bios sees the correct amount of memory. When I try to load an OS, ie: XP, I get...

    Problem with Outlook 2k3 after adding user to domain

    I've installed Win2k3 SBS and attached the computer to this new domain. Previously the network was peer-peer. After starting the computers and logging into the domain with the username/password, Outlook won't start up. When trying to start it up I get the following message in a box...

    Changed physical device configuration

    Previously, I had the cable modem connected to the PIX 506 and everything worked good. Now, I have the cable modem connected to an ATA (Linksys phone adapter), which then connects to the PIX. The PUBLIC address of the ATA is: 68.36.xxx.xxx, PRIVATE is: 192.168.0.1 The PIX address is E0 =...

    W2k3, cannot access firewall using IP and IE

    Thanks much for everyone pointing me in the right direction. You all were spot on in directing me to the firewall (sonicwall). Turns out that at some point someone (me??) set the management GUI via a web browser to direct it to port 8080 instead of the default port 80. Stupid me!! However...

    W2k3, cannot access firewall using IP and IE

    Hello, I have a new W2K3 server w/AD setup on it. I have a external firewall that the server is hardwired to. When I put the IP address of the firewall into the URL of IE, it will give me the "page cannot be displayed" msg. I can ping the firewall and get replies, but just cannot get to the...

    Trouble adding RAID drivers during OS installation

    I have a new PE SC430 and a CERC SATA 1.5/6 (adaptec 2610SA) controller card. I have ran the Server Assistant and it has created the Virtual disk. When the OS starts/finishes the installation, it will blue screen with a STOP error. I then ran the installation again, this time using the F6 key to...

    Advice on Aironets for this scenario

    I went with 1310's and set the main site up as "root" and other 2 as "non-root". The configuration went fine and I've tested them using 3 seperate hubs connected to the 3 seperate aironets. I had wanted to do a site survey, but couldn't convince them because I guess they wanted to save money...
