Hi: Just wondering if anyone else has run into this before. The client has a network of 5 PCs all connected via DSL with a Cayman Series Netopia box. The Cayman box has 4 ports and the client has static IPs or DHCP. We added a Linksys BEFSR41 for network firewall protection and NAT. It...

Hi: I've installed a lower end workstation with Red Hat 9. The machine has been deployed in a wireless coffee shop. This is the only machine which has been hardwired to the network. Everyone else just brings in a laptop with a wireless card. For this Linux workstation, the goal is to make...

Hi: When you install windows XP, you're supposed to be given 4 formatting options: 1. Format the partition using the NTFS file system (Quick) 2. Format the partition using the NTFS file system 3. Format the partition using the FAT file system (Quick) 4. Format the partition using the FAT file...

Ok, this is very weird. And I'd like some logical explanation other than Mecury being in retrograde :-) Two separate clients with two entirely separate operating systems. Client 1. Not connected to the internet. They don't work with floppies or bring any foreign removable media into the...

I can't believe this is the case, but I haven't been able to figure out the solution. With Windows 95/98/NT, if you shared your C: drive, or any folder underneath, you had the option of providing a sharing password. With Windows XP, it seems that either I share the drive and give carte blanch...

Sure wish I could paste a picture in here. I'm working with a client running windows XP home...all servicepacks, all updates completed. For some reason, when doing a cntrl-alt-del to bring up the task manager window, there aren't any tabs or menu bars. I've seen other posts which talk about...

Hi: Just a sanity check. Over the past couple of days, 3 of my clients tell me that all of a sudden their printers aren't there. Windows 2000 and XP are the OSes in general. Clients come in, they can't print. They check and they don't have any printers installed. Reboot and they're all...

Hi: I just got off a nightmare project that I'd like to warn everyone about. Customer wanted me to set up wireless. Customer assured me she had DSL. She neglected to tell me it was AOL DSL. Not that it would have made any difference because I thought DSL was DSL, plain and simple. But AOL...

"Why is this so slow?!" I've been getting hit with a lot of this from my clients lately. The truth...I have no clue. There are two separate issues. I'll start with the most difficult first. 1. Two separate offices in the same building are sharing a full T1 internet connection...

This is probably more of a rant, rather than a question. I've got this client with a workstation that's been giving some problems. So what do you do? You check the event viewer. Now we all know that not all errors are really erros, and not all warnings are worth warning about. A standard...
