Laptop choice and dilemna. Suggestions needed.

Steelcityfan, when I spoke with the Dean, the reason for the specific model requirement is for on-campus support. He said that they had given the specs requirements in the past, but they still had some computers come in and have problems with the school software. If we buy one of the two...

Laptop choice and dilemna. Suggestions needed.

I am starting law school soon and we are required to purchase a laptop. In addition, we are only given two choices and they are exact models, not a specs requirement or a brand requirement. One choice is the Dell Latitude C840 and the other is the IBM Thinkpad A-series 2652D5U. You are...

RAM - Do I have PC133 or PC100?

I was wondering if someone could help me or direct me to a site that would help determine what kind of RAM I have. I have a couple sticks lying around that I would like to sell, but I want to make sure I know what I am selling. Most of them are clearly marked, but the one I am stuck on...

Academic version of Office XP Pro vs. normal

Thanks guys. But were your answers for Office XP or Windows XP or both? Too many XPs to deal with right now. If the Windows XP Academic doesn't require activation, that would be great. Does Office XP require activation, too? I had my first run in with Windows XP Pro last weekend and it was...

Academic version of Office XP Pro vs. normal

What is the difference, besides about $100? I am a student, but is the license limited somehow? Is it missing features? Same question on Windows XP Pro. Thanks for any help. E-mail is always best for me.

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

That worked! Thank you very much for your patient help. I had restarted everyting individually at least once, but I guess it took all of them to do it. Thanks again. Marcus

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

I guess that is how I do it. The manual gives an IP and that connects me to a menu for the router. It used to connect automatically to the DSL modem. Once in a while I had to turn off the modem then turn it back on. I am just nervous about doing that with this one since I barely got it and I...

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

I haven't rebooted the computer, but I have renewed the IP setting on the computer when it is connected to the router. I just can't get the router and the cable modem to talk. I don't know if Earthlink uses some special software or what. My wife said they did install some software on the...

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

It works if I go from the modem to the NIC in my computer. That is how I am using it right this minute, but I want to get the router back in line ASAP. I bought the router used and I have never updated the firmware. Could that make a difference? If so, will someone please give me...

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

I did a hard reset and tried unplugging it for a little while. I wasn't home when they installed the modem, so I didn't see what they did. Also, I don't know anything about the Earthlink service. We don't have many options right where I am and we ordered Earthlink as soon as we saw it...

Earthlink Cable Modem and Linksys Router

I just barely switched from DirecTV DSL to Earthlink/Time Warner cable modem. We had to switch because our DSL was very unreliable. I have the four port Linksys router and with DirecTV I just plugged it in and it worked. It acts as a DHCP server and that is fine. I have multiple computers...

Los Angeles locals...

I would like to buy a nice mid-size case, but would prefer to avoid shipping. I have read some of the current reviews, but are there local shops that sell them? What do you recommend? Thanks.

DSL knowledgable people, please read this question

Well right now I have DSL and it works fine and I am sure I could get it in LA when I move back, however, if my parents can get a decent DSL I could save myself some hassle by just setting it up at their house. I am just trying to learn the technical DSL questions to ask. For example, I can...
