Not in a domain, so that is an issue. I pondered that and would probably have to create users for that machine. That isn't all bad though.

The PC I am looking at is a supermicro with SATA...

okay so now I am looking at a windows box with large SATA drives. I should be able to do RAID 1 with that.
What MS OS should I look at? Is Win2k Pro sufficient? Or am I going to have to bite...

guess that is a no?

I am trying to learn about NAS and all the options. I think I want to go that direction for adding more disk space rather than adding drives to my netware server. Trouble is, the ones I am looking...

I wouldn't say the DSO exploit is causing your problems on that. If you had the coolsearch spyware, that is the likely culprit. This has been one of the hardest bugs to remove in my experience. ...

I was looking at the 3com Gig cards. I think one of the advanced options was the CPU saver for transfers.

Thanks for the tip RD.

I have a GIG switch and am itching to use it on a server. I currently only have Gig between it and remote switches. It sure works nice for that, but on a high use server, I am thinking why not?

I am looking at getting a Gig Ether NIC for a Win2k PC. I am looking for opinions (never a shortage of those here) on different types. 3com has two types (RJ45) one being about $140 with advanced...

I mainly use Spybot (glad to have the 1.3 updates finally) but I ran into several instances of Coolsearch that were hellacious to remove.

After running SB and Adaware, all seemed fine until the...

Then there are home users. Worked on one computer, cleaned viruses, cleaned spyware and re-invigorated the whole PC and internet connection. I installed ZA ,spybot and anti-virus and told them what...

You might add,

All other minor issues: Reboot!

Okay, well all is working now. The client went and bought another USB adapter by D-link and put it on the Desktop. That worked fine too. But for the Netgear they called the Netgear tech support...

btw happy birthday NooNoo.

I understood him to say the USB adapter doesn't work either. So it can't really be just the NIC can it?

I may do that. I got ambushed today as I stopped at noon to look at one problem and they had another laptop they wanted on the network. Perhaps with more time I will start over from scratch.
...

Did that today. No dice. The one laptop I just tried to setup today had a persistent MSN dial-up prompt too. I may end up nuking that because it kept taking over even though I set IE to never use...

all the machines see the router, I can ping it and the signal strength is good to excellent. The device (in the network control panel) shows connected, but I can't get to the internet using that...

Have a client with a Netgear MR814v2 router. Three computers (all XP) need to connect through it. Right now I have a desktop with a MA111 USB wireless device that is working great. A laptop that...

I was finally able to clean out the temp dir by deleting a few files at a time rather than the "select all" option. The file that were causing the problem were on a network drive and more...

I have a users PC that has explorer.exe (not internet explorer) that crashes. I have Googled it and gone through many of the fixes. It is Win2k, IE6 sp1. I have applied all the latest MS patches,...

not neccesarily. I filled out the form (leaving out most of the personal info and using my junk mail email) and was able to complete the form without a SS#. It took me to a lame portal type page...

Family - I suffer through the free support. My mother brought me into the world, the least I can do is explain computer basics over the phone. My wife puts up with me, I can at least ease her pain....

I use Shavlik's HFNetChkPro to install all the updates remotely. I can do all of them at once for Win2k and XP machines. But the tool you are probably looking for is the qchain installer. ...

I have a users Win2k PC that I installed MS Office 2000. Did the install as I do for everyone and it went fine. Then I tried to run outlook to start the setup of it. It churned, started the...

A user has Win95, Outlook 2000 using MS Mail :eek2: (not exchange)

She shares her calendar and has lots of info regarding meetings. This morning some stuff dissappeared. I found it by looking...

Simple sharing was on (I find simple file sharing under the Appearance and Themes menu???)

Had to allow XP to actually share the file. Even though folders where shared, XP was not allowing it to...
