    Bad DVD burner or something else?

    I have a DVD burner (Lite On SHM-165H6S) that I've had since June of 2006. For the most part it's been reliable, but recently it stopped reading certain media. The media in question is Ritek DVD+R. The funny thing is that it would read these fine up until about a month ago. I can burn data...

    Cron no longer sends email to root

    I upgraded from FreeBSD 6.1 to 6.2 a few weeks ago, and since then Cron no longer emails root when each Cron job is completed. This is more of an annoyance than a genuine problem, since otherwise everything seems fine, but I'd like to get it fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what...

    Passed 70-298

    I took this beast this morning, and squeaked by with 730, which makes me a bona fide MCSE: Security certified person. Unfortunately, the printout doesn't go into enough detail, but it seemed to run the gamut of Enterprise/Stand-Alone CA's, EFS Recovery Agents, group scopes, SUS, VPS, EAP/PEAP...

    Exam difficulty: Your opinions

    Since there are so many people in this forum who seem surprised that they didn't do better on a particular exam, it might help to compare the relative difficulty of each exam that we've taken. This might help some to anticipate the difficulty of a particular exam and to spend extra time...

    Keyboard issue

    This one has me a bit perplexed. My girlfriend is currently using a Biostar motherboard with a Pentium IV 2.66 and 512mb of RAM. Into this mostly new system, I installed her hard drive from an older box, and did a repair install of both Windows XP and Microsoft Office. Occasionally, the...

    CPU running 68c at startup

    This one strikes me as a bit odd. I replaced the motherboard in my girlfriend's computer with a Biostar board (P4M80-M7) and Intel CPU (Pentium 4 506 Prescott) that I had hanging around. Everything else in her case is the same, with the exception of the power supply. The power supply she had...

    Question about a TesKing 70-294 question

    Yes, I've finally resorted to looking at the Test King material for this exam. On this one, I just don't think that their answer is correct. You are the network administrator for TestKing.com. TestKing has offices in Chicago, New York and Toronto. Each office employs 500 people. The network...

    Left button breaks on Logitech optical mouse

    Someone else must have had this happen to them, and it's frustrating because it keeps happening to me. I've owned probably five or six Logitech optical scroll mice over the past few years. This is the basic $6-$10 mouse, depending on where you buy it. I usually get about a year out of it, and...

    CSS problem: Firefox renders correctly after refresh

    Hopefully someone here can help, since I've been trying to correct this for over a week, and I just can't seem to get it to work. Some background: I'm overhauling a web site for a local TV station. The old site design is pretty abyssmal. I decided to throw the whole thing out and go in an...

    "HP_Recovery" Partition

    I recently did some work a HP Pavilion 7966 for a client, and the end result is that her WD drive had failed. I ordered a new drive and installed Windows XP Home without any problems, but the old drive (which is failing, but still readable) has a partition marked HP_Recovery which I assume has...

    Not receiving mail from other domains

    I don't know how long this problem has existed. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4, and I installed Qmail 1.03 from ports at least a year ago with the qmail-queue patch. I can receive email from my own domain (such as daily reports that are generated by the server), but I seem unable to receive email from...

    Radeon 7000 randomly hangs Windows XP

    I've been pulling my hair out with this issue all day, so hopefully someone here can shed some light on this. My girlfriend's computer is an Athlon 1ghz on a Transcend motherboard (TS-AKT4) with 512mb of memory and Windows XP SP 2. It has no virii or spyware. Until about 3 weeks ago, she had...

    'Directory not empty' error

    For some reason, the directory /usr/ports/lang/gcc34/work/gcc-3.4-20041112/libstdc++-v3/config/cpu seems to be 'stuck'. There are no files in it, and yet it can not be removed, even in single-user mode. I've run fsck in single-user mode, but I still get the error...

    Security+

    Sadly, I failed the Security+ exam today with a score of 740. It looks like I missed passing by 2 questions or so. I've been using the Thompson/Cisco Press "Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals". Can anyone recommend any other (or better) books? Wishdiak A+, Network+, MCSA 2003...

    HJT log

    Hopefully someone can help with this. I have highlighted the parts that concern me, and I can remove them, only to have them reappear with different file names after a reboot. OS is Windows XP Pro SP2. Thanks in advance. R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar =...

    70-299

    From where I am, 70-299 seemed like a good idea at the time. This, plus the exams that I'm already planning for, will give me MCSE+Security after 4 more exams. I had some trouble installing the Readiness Review that came with the 70-299 book from MS Press, so against my own advice I used the...

    SpamAssassin 3.0.1 local.cf

    After recently upgrading my FreeBSD box to 5.3, I had to reinstall/upgrade a number of ports including Qmail-Scanner, ClamAV, and SpamAssassin. Everthing seems to be working well except SpamAssassin. I don't seem to be grasping the syntax for the new format of...
