    Hooking up a HD Plasma TV to a laptop

    Neither the laptop or the TV has a DVI connector. So it will have to be Laptop VGA to DVI cable(m/f), then DVI(f/m) to HDMI cable, plus a separate audio cable for the sound. Seems kinda of cumbersome.

    Windows networking/filesharing unreliable, random, works some days & not others

    I'm not using DHCP. << Does that mean you have fixed IPs for all the devices on the network? Are all the wired devices on same workgroup? They dont need to be, but it helps. Why do you need to see them all? - transfer files. If thats all you need - installing Netbuei protocol on all the...

    Hooking up a HD Plasma TV to a laptop

    I would like to hook up a Toshiba A135-S4527 laptop (Vista) to a Panasonic TH50PX75U TV to watch videos. The laptop has a VGA socket. The TV has HDMI ports and whole bunch of component ports but no VGA. Googling this, I am coming up with some options: 1. Use S-Video but quality may be poor...

    Problems after Lightning strike

    While a complete manual is not available from HP's website, it was clear that F10 got you into the BIOS, and I was able to disable the on board LAN in the bios, and then ran the old standby Winsockfix, and that seems to have fixed the problem. However in Network connections, the on board lan...

    Problems after Lightning strike

    A friend's house had a lightning strike on a tree and the Verizon FIOS box near its base. This fried everything - box in their garage, modem/router and apparently the onboard nics in their two computers. The Verizon tech who reinstalled the boxes and put in new modem/router tested their...

    My Dell 5150 Desktop (3.25 years old) is freezing upon startup.

    Active Directory Overkill?

    OP's original question was whether or not to use AD, somehow the discussion veered off to the advantages of SBS 2003 over Server 2003. My perspective on this is solely as a user. Having dealt with many IT providers, what I have found is that you get a lot of confusing, incomplete, and even...

    Active Directory Overkill?

    As I said if your users are likely to fool around with their pcs, AD is the way to go. For 5 users or less, with SBS all you get is Server 2003 and Exchange Server in its basic configuration. So an outfit with 5 users is expected to host their email in house, when its quite possible they do...

    Active Directory Overkill?

    For the small number of users, if you already have Window 2003 server, go with a workgroup - its quite painless - do make sure people understand what are and are not good computer usage practices in an work environment. Also ensure that a reasonably good av software is running on all pcs, and...

    Bad drive possible how to access..

    Good that you were able to recover your data without much hassle. The drive is probably still good, and all that it needs is a chkdisk to be run on it to fix any errors. Download WDs Datalifeguard tools and run it on the drive.

    Cheap NAS options?

In case of a sudden power failure, the array takes a very, repeat very, long time to rebuild - that scared me, and I added a second backup server. However, if properly configured with...

    Cant connect to mapped network drive issues on network

    OP you are right that the NAS should connect without issues. What confuses me is this patch that you talk about. XP Pro is limited to 10 connections, AFAIK thats it - there is now way that limit can be increased. But you are not trying to connect the other PCs to a pc running XP Pro - then why...

    Slew of problems. Virus suspected. Hijack log posted.

    I have had a lot of luck cleaning up infected drives using Microsoft's new tool at safety.live.com. Boot up up in safe mode with networking. and start the tool, it only runs on IE and will require allowing active X apps to run , and then run a Full service scan.

    Can I game on this machine?

    I buy 4-5 Dells every year at work, and while they are very reliable, trouble free and Dell gives generous credit terms, the Dimension line is dated and usually not worth upgrading, certainly not meant for gaming<< The XPS line is. For the last 4 years or so, Dell has been using standard ps...

    Wireless Network: Local Access Only

    Yes, but you are going to this temporarily just to troubleshoot. Right now your new laptop is not getting a valid IP address from the router, maybe not connecting it at all. Once you get that worked out, you have to go back and add several layers of security measures. It may also be difficult to...

    Router pronunciation

    The key here is the word route - pronounced like rout (defeat) or the mechanical process of rout (as in the tool router used for wood/metal crafting) in the US and root in Anglophone countries. Now routers do route data packets to their destination, and the first routers came from the US...

    Computer slower than molasses in January after Zone Alarm update

    Zonealarm causing problems - what a surprise - IMHO Zonealarm is bloatware designed to harass you into buying their PRO version and other software . If you are using a router thats setup properly and have updated AV you dont need a software firewall - Uninstall Zonealarm - not an easy task.
