    Network neighborhood/net view quirks

    What services are your servers running? DNS? WINS (only for backwards compatibility)? From what little AD experience I have, most of the problems I've seen like that was caused by DNS problems. Of course I have a mix of machines here ranging from 98 to XP. I would check your DNS...

    To duplex or not to duplex.........

    I'm considering buying a duplex also. My uncle owned a duplex for 20+ years and his sister (my aunt) has owned one for 10 years. You have to be able to judge people fairly well or you can get screwed. My uncle is fairly straight forward and confrontational. He had hardly any problems...

    Comcast HD-DVR now blocking fast forward on American Idol

    If I was forced to watch American Idol, I would fast forward through the show and only watch the commercials. Heh.

    Impossible to switch MB without Reinstalling XP?

    WinXP can do a mb swap and still go on. I know because my machine at home had the OS installed on a Asus A8V (via chipset) mb and it is currently running on a MSI K8N Neo2 platinum (nVidia chipset.) The reason I tried this was because I had already had a different mb installed and it...

    Best Concert you have ever heard/seen

    A toss up between the Eagles a few years back and Roger Waters a couple years before that. Close second would be Sir Paul McCartney.

    Is the SUV Age about over?

    You can't really think like that can you? That is the same thing as saying that if we had a finite supply of food left on the planet, you would think it is just fine to eat twice what other people do? Just because you can afford to? Now it is a bit different seeing as a large percentage of...

    After moving users to a new exchange (2003) server they recieve sync errors when launching Outlook

    Well, when you go into the settings for Outlook (at least the way we have it set up) you usually have an option to show profiles. At that point you can delete the profile and create a new on. When you change settings in Outlook, how do you usually do it? From the tools menu in outlook or...

    After moving users to a new exchange (2003) server they recieve sync errors when launching Outlook

    No, I mean the profile for Outlook. Of course the whole windows profile would include the outlook profile. The reason I delete the Outlook profile and deleted is that I changed the server but when the sync windows popped up, it still had the old server name on it. so I just deleted the...

    After moving users to a new exchange (2003) server they recieve sync errors when launching Outlook

    I probably don't have a fix for you, but I had a very similar issue with our new Exchange 2k3. I just recreated the users profile. Have you tried that?

    A8V problem with 4 Dimms

    I have a very similar problem. I have four cmx512-3200c2 corsair XMS dimms. I can only get two to work. If I have four in it tells me that "the system failed to boot due to cpu overclocking." I'm not at home but right now but when I get a chance I will try manually setting the ram to 333mhz...

    Recommend a good Windows 2003 Server book

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...p;s=books&n=507846 This is the book I have. It does a good job of covering the basics. Of course, I don't actually have windows 2k3 yet, I'm still waiting for the new servers to get here. But I have read through the book and it seems to be good.

    so let's say i want 1TB of external storage...

    what is the budget for this? Will you need room to expand in the future? I'm about to buy an EMC AX100 with 1TB storage. Well, after RAID 5 it will be a little less than 750GB. It has room for up to 3TB. (12 X 250G SATA drives) It connects to any ole server via a HBA fiber card. (up to...

    Explorer.exe Crashes when entering folders

    Best rechargeable AA batteries

    I am also interested in opinions on rechargable AA batteries. But I would be more interested in hearing about which ones are 1.5v vs the 1.2v that most rechargable AA's seem to be.

    Xp Networking Problem

    WINS shouldn't be configured unless you have a WINS server on your network. I'm thinking that the XP firewall is blocking all NetBIOS attempts to connect to other machines or vice versa.

    is this a false alarm from Norton for a trojan horse

    Well, considering that I've read news reports of a number of popular websites getting hacked (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/06/24/internet.attack.ap/index.html) I would think that it may be a legitimate threat. Check carefully on the norton dialog that pops up. I've seen web based...

    Excel crashes when I dbl click an XLS file to open it up

    I have seen Word do exactly the same thing. The problem was that the normal.dot file was corrupt. I don't know what the default template for Excel is off hand, but that's where I would look. Also have you searched MS' knowledge base yet?

    Recommendations on a 24-Port 10/100MB Ethernet Switch?

    IIRC the problem is that by definition, a switch does not send any extra info to a port that the packet is not addressed to. Unless you have a managed switch and configure it to span ports (basically setting it up so that all packets get mirrored to a certain port so that a computer can monitor...

    Recommendations on a 24-Port 10/100MB Ethernet Switch?

    I should have been a bit more clear. I was talking more about a $1500 Cisco switch being way more than needed. A less expensive managed switch is just fine.

    Recommendations on a 24-Port 10/100MB Ethernet Switch?

    Well the first question I would ask you is: do you need a managed, or unmanaged switch. It sounds like an unmanaged switch is what you are looking for. I recently picked up a couple 24 port 10/100 Linksys for a little over 200 each at compusa. Of course I needed them FAST to replace some...

    Gas prices, why is everyone so freaked out?

    . I wouldn't say that there is a 1 to 1 ratio between the price of products and the price of oil. For a particular product I'd probably guess that they average about 10% of the product price is related to oil price. So on average, I would guess that a 25% increase in oil would raise the...

    Gas prices, why is everyone so freaked out?

    So when the price of food, video games, computer parts, soda, beer, and pizza (delivered) goes up, some people won't mind? Higher gas prices == inflation. Well not exactly, but if the high price of gas is sustained for a good length of time, EVERYTHING will increase in price. Any consumer...

    Difference between a MANAGED and unmanaged switch?

    I would suggest having one managed switch. With unmanaged switches you can't set up a diagnostic port to have all of the network data sent to. It's great for sniffing out virii and hackers, oh my! Here at my work we have one managed switch and the rest are "dumb" switches. The only reason...

    Nanny States Of America:Smokeless Smoking Bar

    I'm sure that a few bars would take the opportunity to attract all of the non-smokers that don't want to go to a smoking bar by advertising that their bar is non-smoking. But as Orsorum said, it would be their right to choose smoking or non-smoking. And if someone found that by being...

    Nanny States Of America:Smokeless Smoking Bar

    WinXP: have a certain user always nab a specific IP?

    No problem. I'm not sure if you need to release the dhcp address before you change to static though. If you do the command line is "ipconfig /release" Glad to be of assistance. :)

    WinXP: have a certain user always nab a specific IP?

    how do i get rid of the "my" folders (documents, music, ebooks, webs, videos)?

    Also, you can right click on my documents on the desktop and point it to another folder. Then all of the apps that look for "my documents" will go to whatever folder you use for storage. That is what I do. I just have my own folder on a separate drive and point my docs to it.

    General Question for IT Managers

    Here were I work the ratio is 1/100. But to be honest, that is a bit too much. I don't have near enough time to do things that I'd like to be able to do. It works fairly well though. On large projects we bring in a consultant or temp people.

    Lowering the drinking age to 18 again

    Heck, I know 30 year olds that are too immature to drink. I don't think it would do anyone any good to lower the drinking age to 18 though. I know that I was pretty dumb at that age. At 21 I was slightly less dumb, and at 31 I'm marginally less dumb. Hopefully by 41 I'll be almost all the...

    Computer repair/upgrade: How much to charge people?
