BIOSTAR TF560 or Biostar TF720 A2+ or ???

I'm looking at this board as well. I just want a cheap/stable system to serve as a file server. My main criteria are: - Cost - Stability - Ability to hook up many SATA drives It seems the TF720 fits this bill (at least on paper). One added bonus is the RAID functionality, however I...

Network Problem

The 169.x.x.x isn't a DHCP'd address. It's an address MS assigns if a DHCP fails. I'm with amdskip, first try replacing the NIC. If you aren't firewalled inside your LAN you could also try connecting the problem PC via crossover cable to a working PC, assign the same static IP it used to have...

Computer won't start, please help!

I've had this before with the exact same file and a simple repair did the trick as it copies most dll and other system files. You might give that a try. It could also indicate a failing hard drive if that part of the disk has become corrupt for some reason. If you have another computer...

Upgrading Hardware for Exchange 2000 Server

I'd highly suggest #2 if you have the budget for Win2k3 and Exchange 2k3. The newer OWA is awesome and if your boss has a Windows Mobile device, the server activesync will be very very nice as well. That's what basically sold my boss on upgrading to E2k3. Of course, it might be worth just...

Network problem

If the 3rd IP is something like 169.x.x.x (sorry I can't remember what it is off-hand) then that is one MS assigns sometimes if you have a valid network connection but don't receive an IP when you send out a DHCP request. One thing you COULD try (I'm assuming the other 2 PC's work fine?) is...

Windows 2003 Server Weird Crashing

Either you have a typo in your post or you aren't dialing the correct number stash referred. This is a little OT but you seem pretty defensive towards people that are trying to help you out. Good luck with your issue though, the fact that it's a DC is absolutely terrifying.

Dad got a new PC...wants to "ghost" his current setup to the new pc.

The biggest issue will be whether or not the PC's use the same HAL. If so, an image should be relatively easy to port to the new system (with drivers being the only issue). However if you aren't running the same HAL, you're kinda screwed. There's directions out there for how to change HAL's...

how do i find out who is net sending me at work?

Like Bob said, hopefully you're not actually the admin, and you definately should talk to whoever is to see what's going on. One way to find this info out though sometimes without much trouble is using Sysinternal's PsTools utilities, particularly the psloggedon one...

formatting/partioning

Use this to make a bootdisk, not by copying stuff yourself: http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm Personally I'd use the Windows 98 SE OEM one, but that's just me. When you boot up, run fdisk and it'll walk you through it. Honestly though, you need to repartition/format... why? To...

Remote desktop support

Should be simple enough with some simple port forwarding in your DSL router. The default RDP port is 3389. So you could forward that port to one of your workstations. You can then change the RDP port of the other machine by using regedit to change the following...

No one can answer this question - How can I "killdisk" a sony grx650 lappy with no floppy to reinstall cdrom drivers?

Gotcha. Hopefully that works out for you. For my personal sanitation needs, I've really liked the tools these guys make: http://www.east-tec.com/ You can download a trial of basically all their tools I think and give them a try. They aren't freeware of course, but they're pretty nicely...

Parents had their domain taken, how to get it back?

JackMDS is basically right. It's gonna take a while and be very very expensive to do. To note on montag's comment about if your name was "fred armani" you'd get the domain... Think again: http://www.nissan.com/ Pathetic. That judge should be thrown in jail.

If this (http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm) is what you're talking about they appear to have a CD-ROM ISO you can download and burn. As far as unerased blah blah, that makes no sense. The real question is if all you want to do is format and repartition your drive, why not just use the...

Zone Alarm message

Well to start with. The IP you did the lookup on is a reserved IP address that basically means "this computer". No matter what computer you're using, if it's got TCP/IP loaded, that IP means "this computer". FYI, it's a good way to test if the basics of your TCP/IP stack are working correctly...
