 | Hello everyone and welcome to TechTalk! There have been quite a few problems the last day or two, that I'm sure most of you have noticed. Firstly, our server was down for a lil bit due to network outages. Secondly, I haven't been feeling too good lately and I actually …  |
| | Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone's heard of a dual cable modem / tv tuner card? Has anyone heard of these, do they exist, or know where to find one? The way I figure, tv tuner cards just have a lil input for a tv cable line, so … |
| | Re: Modems I'm not exactly sure if I can remember back into the days of good ol' Win95 but I'll give it my best shot. My first guess would be to check out the device manager and see if it's listed there, even as an unknown device or with uninstalled drivers. If … |

| | Sorry about that everyone! TechTalk was down for about an hour today (about 7:45pm - 8:50pm). It turns out mySQL failed on the server!! In any case, we're all back up now. |
| | Hi - I have an hp LaserJet 2200d connected to a RedHat Linux 8 machine, set up via CUPS. The printer is being shared over the network. Duplex printing is turned on (it's a feature I use quite often). I'm using the driver "HP LaserJet 2200, Foomatic + gimp-print(en)" Everything … |
| | I use VMWare 3.2 on a RedHat Linux 8 host. I compiled the module locally, as opposed to using one of the pre-configured modules (as I don't believe official support for RedHat 8 has been released yet). In any case, I use a Windows 2000 guest OS. However, regardless of … |
| | My Linux PC has always been set up to use my WinXP machine, 192.168.0.1 as an Internet gateway, with the static IP 192.168.0.2 I just got a Linksys "blue" router, and I want to change this info. I'd like to use DHCP to use the router as the gateway, 192.168.1.1 … |
| | I've never had any experience with Debian, and therefore don't know how much help I can be to you. Are you sure that "boot cd" is a valid command? When I install RedHat, for example, I just set the BIOS up to run from the cd, as the disks are … |
| | Not sure about your laptop, but with mine it is ok. Just as long as you use that lil application to "safely remove hardware". I have a PCMCIA cd-rom and it let me plug it in and take it out ... it even made a bleeping noise like when USB … |
| | Re: Linux with DSL ? I'm sure that where there's a will, there's a way to connect a DSL line to Linux. Unfortunately, I've connected my Linux box to a dial-up modem, a cable modem, and a home network, but never DSL. So I'm not exactly sure of how it's done. I use RedHat linux … |

| | Sure! I'd be interested! Maybe you can upload it here as an attached file? |
| | Re: Novell I don't want to agree with Jimmy, but I do to an extent. Novell seems (from my point of view, anyway) that it used to be a lot more popular than it is today. I don't hear very much about it anymore. Big corporations use it, but for the most … |
 | Is that sorta like that thingie you use at work? How the different majors can have homepages under Hofstra U? |
| | Very cool Jimmy ... know where you're gonna work? Something in the computer field? |
| | Hey peeps! Me and Dan are doing a group project on "Corporate Training" for a multimedia class we're in. Dan didn't come to class today :P when the rest of the group here assigned out individual topics to research. My topic is "latest technologies" Can anyone help out? What are … |
| | Whew! My first day on a road to recovery. Even with pain killers, it's my first day that I am actually able to sorta concentrate!! Golly gee whiz am I happy! hehe Definitely a day well-deserving of being marked in the calendar!! |
| | I just reformatted my computer (Win XP Pro). Everything runs smoothly except Outlook XP or Outlook Express. Everytime I open either one, it takes a solid two minutes for the splash screen to go away for the rest of the proggie to open. Every other program works perfectly fine (e.g. … |
| | Doing work now ... but hopefully tomorrow I'll get around to fixing the Jumpbox so it actually works (for a change) on all the pages! |
| | Ok peeps! The polls have been fixed! For the last few days I didn't realize that no one could vote on any of the polls. I looked over the code and forgot to close my </form> tag. Oopsies! |
| | I pulled an all-nighter adding lotsa new features to the forums. (OK, so I just couldn't sleep b/c of really bad headaches, but ... well ... at least I got something accomplished). There's a new logo up top. There's Alice, an AI bot who loves to chat in the Coffee … |
| | Hey... I was just doing some browsing and I found this site: [url]http://www.iwantitcheap.com/[/url] Is this an example of Amazon web services?? |
| | Boo hoo I don't think anyone wants to use my new links section! |
| | You uninstalled via the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, right? |
| | TechTalkGal here (yes, the forum admin) ... as if the lil text to the left saying "Admin" under my name didn't give it away. As for where I've been, friggin' busy with school! I show up though, honest I do ... yes, yes ... *I keep telling myself that* |
| | I was just looking over some of the sample questions for the Dreamweaver certification from http://www.macromedia.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/dw_dev_questions.pdf It looks rather dumb. |
| | Are you talking about Windows Me and XP's system restore feature (which by default uses about 10% per drive as "back-up"?) |
| | I just have to chuckle ;) |
| | Hey, peeps! Everyone over here of course knows Tekmaven and MAD_DOG ... they've been huge helps over here since the start! In fact, Tekmaven was just promoted to global moderator. In any case, the two of them are in the middle of revamping [url=http://www.pcmodkingdom.tk]http://www.pcmodkingdom.tk[/url] and it's coming along very, very … |

| | Re: WinXP & OE 6 Personally, I never understood why Outlook always makes the name of the default profile "Default" instead of using the username of the person logged in. |
| | As you've all probably noticed, I'm redoing the entire look of TechTalk Forums one page at a time. However, I just want to clear up that this really isn't what I'm doing. My redo is focused around the back-end PHP code. I'm simplifying the front-end look slightly, but only temporarily. … |
| | Re: Posting List Actually ... let me clear up what I'm doing right now. I've been spending night and day redoing the TechTalk website, but NOT the front-end stuff! The php code for the YaBB script is extraordinarily messy, uncommented, and has HTML code with like 5000 nested tables hard-coded into all these … |
| | I'm still working on the new TechTalk design ... all back-end stuff .......... So far 18 hours straight! (ARGH) |
| | I know, I know ... still no info center. It's coming soon. Good thing is I'm actually learning php!! The purpose of this message is just to test that this "calendar event" appears in the new info center. |
| | There was a close call tonight! We almost lost most of our entire database! Luckily (after a few hours on edge) I was able to restore a back-up of a MySQL dump. |
| | Congratulations, Tekmaven, our newest Global Moderator. Tekmaven has been with us since the beginning and has done a great job! Kudos to both global moderators, Tekmaven and inscissor. Kudos should also go out to our other moderators, MAD_DOG and AlPhA !! :D |
| | I moved the Novell topic from the Networking category to the OS Tech Support section. Hopefully it'll fit in better here! |
| | New portal set up! This is a replacement for Tekmaven's post about the topic, which unfortunately got lost when we had a scare and I had to restore an older version of the database. |
| | Woo hoo! I was able to restore a back-up of TechTalk Forums ... we lost a few messages though :o (sorry about that) The back-up was from early yesterday and we lost about 10 posts. Not too bad! |
| | I want to set up the ever popular fortune program to display a random fortune each time a user logs in. The program is installed, but which config file do I need to edit to get the program to automatically run after each successful login? |
| | heh - niiice ... btw, if you're having a problem getting the forum to recognize a full link, surround it in [code][url]http://blah[/url][/code] This way the link doesn't break off before the URL ends |
| | Re: Windows .NET RC1 I heard it won't be called Windows .NET anymore? Now it's server 2003 or something? In any case, just curious, is this a complete server operating system only? (e.g. upgrade from Win2K Advanced server, terminal server, etc) Not an upgrade to XP, right? |
| | Sorry I'm soooooo late with a reply ...... figure out the problem yet? Have you checked NVidia's site for the latest Detonator drivers. Other than that ... check for NVidia-related patches for the games themselves |

| | Okay, so this forum uses PHP with MySQL... I have access to PHPMyAdmin on a remote server. I have been making periodic back-ups (dumps of the tables) but I'm always afraid that when I need them most, they'll fail on me. There isn't by any chance an easier way to … |
| | Re: New look After being up all night ... Not only do we have a new look, but the entire site is condensed. There are now fewer topics, which should make it easier to decide where to post. Let me know ... |
| | ATTN: VMWare users!! Please help me! ... (sorry this post is so long, I tried to be very thorough) I have a WindowsXP computer with two nic cards. One of them is connected to a cable modem and another to a hub. Also connected to the hub are a linux … |
| | Please help me!! I'm so frustrated. I know I have been a bit absent from techtalk lately but I've been super ultra busy ... one of my latest endeavors is working with Linux. I have a Red Hat 7.3 system set up right now which works perfectly except for one … |
The End.
