    Crashplan is worth looking into. It is a backup solution that works cross platform and can be used for free in some cases. You can pay to backup to their cloud service, including using a method where your information is encrypted before it is sent to them so only you have access...

    USB 3.0 drive and USB 2.0 hub does not work puzzle

    Thanks of the idea, it is a Linux system but I tried watch dmesg for a while and tried different ports. For some reason it seems to reset a couple of times but then it started working, yay! This is what I get when I plug it in directly: [253337.428074] usb 2-3: new high-speed USB device...

    USB 3.0 drive and USB 2.0 hub does not work puzzle

    So I am trying to use a USB 3.0 drive with a USB 2.0 powered hub. I don't care about the speed I just need the connectivity. If I plug the Seagate USB 3.0 drive directly into the computer using a USB 2.0 cable it works. If I put a powered USB 2.0 hub (tried two I have around) inline the...

    The error from the client is 80070035 The network path was not found This error comes from a VBscript so the source is WSHNetwork.MapNetWorkDrive It also fails if you try to manually map the drives. If you try to use a drive you had previously mapped then it doesn't respond. I think the...

    Windows 2000 mapped drives stop responding

    So I have a fully patched/updated machine running Windows 2000 Pro that shares out a couple of drives. It is not joined to a domain, just standalone. It seems that after a certain amount of data has been exchanged by the machine it will no longer allow other machines to access the mapped...

    Dial Up Plan for Travelers

    If you are just looking for dialup speeds you might look at a data plan for your cell phone. Some can use a USB cable with GPRS service or there are more expensive and faster data plans. Most trips I have taken recently the hotels have had free broadband access though.

    Hott? USB2/Firewire External IDE Enclosure $35.99

    Oxford 911 is firewire only, Oxford 922 is firewire and USB. Most of the combo drives I see are Prolific not Oxford though. I believe the Oxford 922 chipset is very new and supports the New Firewire 800Mbps standard (instead of 480Mbps)

    Ad-hoc and Videoconferencing

    Most video conferencing software is designed to hit a central server and send the video streams there. Much of this is because 2 client machines behind most firewalls are not able to talk directly to each other but they can both talk to a central server. I seem to remember that you could use MS...

    Are your users using you as their DNS servers? If they are then you might be able to do something with your second location as another DNS server. If not then the client machines aren't going to know to connect to your alternate IP address.

    Need recommendations for home network

    Ethernet is faster and can be done cheaper as well as having upgrade paths (10Mbps or 100Mbps now, Gigabit later if you use good Cat5e or better cable, I don't think Cat6 or higher are real standards yet so you can't go by that).
