    Cisco/Linksys EA4500 not working at gigabit speed?

    Hi, This is a home router, and we had a severe storm the other day and the router stopped working (temporarily). It must've been a lightning surge--but it didn't destroy the router--it destroyed the power supply. So I got a new power adapter of the same rating and the router booted and...

    MSI UEFI bios always goes to shell, why not boot to Windows?

    Hi all, My new mb's UEFI bios always goes to some sort of unix shell, and I have to type exit to actually boot to Windows (the only os I have on this box). How can I make this thing just boot up and not go into the shell? Thanks, --Jim

    General question -- How does Windows decide whether to use wired or wireless when both are present?

    Hi all, Just an academic question that's been bugging me: I have a wireless connection and an ethernet port on my laptop at my desk. I leave the wireless on most of the time because I unplug the ethernet when going to a conference room, for example. So my question is--when I'm at my desk...

    Putting assemblies in GAC---which machine if load-balanced?

    Hi all, Sorry if this is not the correct forum, I searched for "visual studio" and found nothing here forum-wise. Anyway, we have a C# web project that uses a server farm, each IIS server's site points to a single shared virtual folder holding the compiled app. But my question is--for global...

    .Net transaction question

    Hi all, I wasn't sure if this was more of a .Net question or SQL, it seemed more .Net but apologies if this is the wrong forum. So I have a new third party database which provides a web service which I'm bound by contract to use to update any of their data tables in this sql-2008 R2 db (we...

    Using the Excel Object

    Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the general consensus is regarding using an Excel object in ASP.Net code? I have used it before in instances where the IIS server was dedicated to the specific app that produced Excel files for a small client load. However I know there are various security...

    My MAC address shows up twice in DHCP list--why?

    Hi All, In my router's dhcp client list (Linksys WRT 610 NV2, running DD-WRT), I see two IP addresses for my machine. One has the machine's host name listed, the other just an asterisk. Both seem to have leased at the same time. Can you tell me why this might be, and where I might start...

    What maintenance actions can't be done when log shipping is set up?

    Hi all, I had another thread that I didn't want to overload with too many questions, so here is another log-shipping question: Can I perform dbcc ShrinkFile on either database in a log shipping setup without having to backup/restore and restart the log shipping? If not, are there any other...

    Can I back up the principle database while mirroring is in effect without breaking the log chain?

    Hi all, We're about to set up a mirror db in a remote DR site. At our local site, we very often have the need to take a backup of the principle db to plop in in the Test or Dev server for various testing purposes. Can I do this without breaking the log sequence that the mirror is receiving...

    Beginning a response with the word "So..."

    Not sure if this topic has been covered here, but I see a tremendous amount of professionals, researchers, etc, beginning responses (often to journalist's interview questions) with word "So". For example: Journalist: "How did you discover the cure for this disease" Scientist: "So...I was doing...

    How to get rid of the 'Multiple Selection' in a wizard-created Form?

    Hi all, In Access 2010, I created a form using the Wizard, and noticed that Access has the fields locked in some 'mutliple-selection' box that I can't get rid of. How do I get rid of this? Thanks, --Jim

    Hi all, I have a simple need--I ha

    Hi all, I have a simple need--I have a table into which data will be inserted. There are about 5 fields in this table that are not included in the insert statement (and can't be in the insert stmt for reasons to detailed to get into here). So, I need a database level trigger in which I need to...

    Cursor question--a faster way?

    Hi all, Yes I know 'cursors are bad'...blah blah. Yet I have a set of data that's in a large table and the processing of this must take place in order--logic on what to do for example, record 100 absolutely depends on what record 99 was and what record 100 and 101 are. (This is just an...

    Thoughts on SSD drives and Raid strategy?

    Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on utilizing SSD drives for SQL-server, and whether SSD has changed the long-accepted RAID strategies and shifted the Advantage/Disadvantage matrix for the various RAID types due to the fundamental differences of SSD drives? Also, does anyone have...

    Programs menu on Start-menu column--where does it look for Programs?

    Hi all, The subject line may not be the best at describing my question...but when I hit the Programs 'link' in the windows 7 start-menu, it appears to be looking in my alternate D, E and F harddrives for programs. I'm assuming the Programs link just looks up what's in...

    Where is BIDS??

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to SSIS, had done some work with it at my old job. Now, I'm at a new place, and have a full MSDN subscription, have fully loaded VS-2010 and VS-2008, and did the full install of sql-server 2008 R2 including all client components. I have an existing project but I *cannot*...

    Why is a 'System Reserved' on an extra disk 'critical to recovery'?

    Hi all, Brief history of this issue--I just re-install Svr 2008 R2 on an SSD, it had been previously on a hard drive. I disconnected that old drive, re-installed fresh on an SSD drive. Did all the roles, features, reboots, updates, more reboots. Now I want to perform a backup. So then I...

    Why is Windows 8 desperately trying to be 'hip'?

    Sorry folks, I have to question the general layout of Windows 8. Looking at the interface is like the awkwardness of seeing an older guy trying to impress his teenage son's friends by using words like "rad" and "hip"...even "groovy". For example: "Apps". Really Microsoft? This is not a...

    How to get updates in Windows 7 if icon is missing?

    Hi all, It used to be easy, just type www.update.microsoft.com. Now I go there and it's a web 1.0 screen that looks like a third-grader made it and it tells me to go to the windows update icon in the All Programs menu. That's gone because I'd removed it along with all the bloatware icons that...

    Two more minor but painful Accuess 2010 issues, is SP imienent?

    Hi all, I keep running into UI things in Access 2010 that seem like a giant leap backwards in UI design. I'm wondering if there's a hotfix or service pack out there for these: 1. When I do a "Save As", ie, for a query I have to go to "Home" tab, and this completely disappears my ability to...
