Yes you can get around doing the full XP install before using the Win 7 upgrade media.

I have seen this happen before with SBS software. One way around it is to install a second NIC in the server and use the second NIC for the VPN connection. I have not messed with SBS 2008 yet so I can't offer anything past that.
If you want to do the VPN in the router I would recommend the...
I would look at concrete5. Its a pretty cool CMS system that is simple and easy to use. As for hosting you will still need a place to host the website.
If you have one handy I would also run a tape cleaner through the drive several times before you start recovering data. If that is part of the problem with the backup jobs failing it could help.
I would image the laptop then do a fresh install of the OS. If the problem is gone then it was something you didn't detect in the original install. If the problem comes back then its hardware.
And I would try one first either hooked directly up to your existing router or replace your existing router. I don't know your physical layout but one might have the coverage you need if you are currently using 2 linksys routers.
I have used several of them. I have not used any for WDS but it has the settings for it. So far no problems. They can work as a router or AP. You can find a manual online.
But the original issue still revolves around the question asked at the beginning of the post.
Why buy retail? If you care about violating Microsoft EULA's and you want a copy of Windows that can be installed on multiple different computers, then you need to buy the retail and not the OEM copy...
The problem is Microsoft deals with 1000's of these calls per minute. That costs them money. They have to balance that cost against catching people who don't know the difference. If you know what you are doing and the fact that you are trying to get around the system you can answer any set of...
I suppose the original thread should have been. If I can keep getting my OEM reactivated even though I violate the EULA and move it to different computers systems, why pay for the retail copy?
That is exactly what they are asking because that is the very reason for the question in the first place. I suppose the question could be formed more precisely.
The hilarious thing about this thread is that everyone here including the people advocating the legitmacy of using an OEM license...
Microsoft would have a problem with it. When you call in on an OEM license and they ask you how many systems that this copy of Windows is installed on they are asking you how many system this copy of windows WAS installed on. They are NOT asking how many systems is it currently installed. If...
Syncback is good software. The SE version will cost $40 but there is a free version. The free version take a little more work to configure but.....

I do not think this is possible. Windows will look at the list of saved wireless network profiles and will move through them one at a time until one works. The preference is giving to the higher in the list which gets sorted when you make a connection.
You can manually control the order of...
Here are some general points I would make sure of.
1. Make sure that all your computers are in the same workgroup
2. Make sure your username and password are the same on all computers
3. Disable HomeGroup on your windows 7 until all your PC's are win7
4. If you can disable the windows...
I have not done this before with DD-WRT but:
It depends on your physical configuration. If all three routers can see each other with good signal strengths then I would go with the three-way option. If router 2 is physically in the "middle" where it can see router 1 and 3 but router 1 and 3...
Have you followed these steps and substituted your FreeSSHd server for the other router?

Here is what you want to do:
1. Configure you modem first and setup your ISP information.
2. Assign the LAN interface of the WAG160N with the following information
IP: 192.168.2.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
3. Configure your WRT610N with the following information
WAN port set as STATIC IP

-I personally like Intel for gaming more than AMD. If you can afford an i7 that is.
-I would go for at least 800-1000w on the PSU to make sure you can handle a future video card upgrade
Take out the RAM and turn it on. If you hear a series of beeps the the Power supply and MB are functioning on some level (but still could be messed up). If you get no beeps then it should be either Power supply or MB.
After that I would switch PSU or get a PSU tester to show the voltage levels.
I have designed a concept for a social networking website with a specific target audience and marketing opportunity.
I was planning on using the DotNetNuke toolset to develop the site but lack some of the higher level programming skills required. I am not opposed to coding the site on a...
I have a small business doing computer consulting. Sometime I purchase parts for the client. Within quickbooks I track these parts as non-inventory type items.
My question is this. There seems to be two ways to track this within Quickbooks.

Method 1:
I setup an...
2003 SBS has a decent backup solution built in. It uses the Windows Backup software but its been integrated into the SBS control panel. Run a small wizard and then you just forget it. I would recommend backing up to an external hard drive. I like to setup most of my clients with 2 external...
By gear I assume you mean racquet and eyeguard. I just went to my local sporting goods store. Spent about ~$100 on the racquet and a few dollars on an eye guard.
Lets not forget the offspring he created with Faline. Faline is obviously a girl so unless they had some doctors and a sperm bank I think Bambi has to have some guy parts.
I have a client that wants to remote into an XP Pro computer at the office. Their home computer is running Vista. I setup ahead of time and pre loaded the printer drivers for their home computer on the office computer.
The first time they connected from their home computer to the office...
