are you trying to use empty passwords?

models, provider, traces, ping statistics? nobody has telepathic powers here :)

ubuntu/kubuntu is my desktop choice. Mandriva is ok as well.

my guess is - any AGP VGA will work

why not just connect the HD to another machine and pull the files out? Vista looks like too raw a-system still, if you're into music XP-MCE is for you

gotta see the settings... maybe the user is trying to work with exchange in POP3/SMTP mode instead of Exchange mode

call dlink support, there is as far as I remember some software they have exactly for this kind of occurence. if possible, get rid of d-link and get linksys/level1/belkin/cisco

errr, I'm not sure this forum is the place for cracking questions. I'd suggest looking into russian warez sites. I may be wrong, but DaniWeb looks like a purely legit portal.

if the HDD is plugged in correctly, and it's not detected, you need to take it to a lab, and be prepared to pay up to $1000 for the data recovery.

first you should try to manually set your IP to your network's numbers. after that, if your hardware is functional, you will be able to ping the router from the inside. after that, if the gateway is set right, and the dns resolving works you'll be able to ping google.com …

maybe you forgot to plug in the HDD

are the user accounts password protected?

why not just get a cheap new thing? celerons cost like dirt these days, and any given celeron-D 3.2 is better than the old p3 you will have sata and a fast ide controller

replacing the paste is a-ok, it gets burned out with time, and Intel's native coolers don't have such a good paste on them to begin with. I've had the same problem with my computer, and I bought a new CPU cooler, some Zalman $40 model, scratched the old paste off …

first thing you do is disconnect all HDDs and try to turn the pc on. if that works - obviousely the HDD is the problem. else (talking like a real programmer now) try to remove the ram from the slots and turn the computer on. if you don't hear beeps, …

dead HDD. if it's clicking - VERY dead.

[quote=happygeek;308464]I'm not sure why anyone would want to rush to buy Vista at launch, I'd much rather wait for SP1 to hit the streets at which time there should be less application software compatibility issues as well.[/quote] exactly. my company has too many mission critical stuff to even consider Viste …

if the MB can't recognize the HD, you should look into the manufacturer's website for a bios update. that might update the MB's bios to a newer version capable of working with hard disks up to ~132Gb

if the hard drive can be read, I usually use R-Studio for the recovery. if the problem is on the hardware level, then you really need a lab. can't advise on which, except for the HD manufacturer's at the plant

[quote=dcc;307388] This is one of the many reasons that I use Firefox, btw...Firefox is a standalone browser.[/quote] +1 you're way better off with firefox or opera, using maxthon with ie6 when you encounter a page that requires ie

if the system is clean, try to reinstall again. and use the C: drive, not X: maybe an installation from another XP cd will be the solution

1. hdd's full or damaged 2. some driver went bad - system restore after that - antivirus campaign! yey warfare :)

what you really need is to set up the main PC for ICS (internet connection sharing). the typical way is for it to have an internet connection and a WiFi card set to ad-hoc mode so that the WiFi cards of the laptop and the PC get connected, letting the …

turn windows firewall off. you don't really need it if you're behind the router

don't know about the US or the UK, but around here degrees don't matter much. what does matter is the experience. I haven't been unemployed for over a couple of weeks since I finished my army service, and the MCSE I've got was done just in order to have a …

it's all easily done with gpmc, scripting, IMO, is for more complex tasks

it will work. but if you use [I]ONLY [/I]sata, you will get a much better performance, which IMO beats the extra 30Gb.

safe mode?

yeah, just buy a new generic 'puter with everything you need in it, and move the compatible parts (like the CD, HD, FD etc) to the new machine

RAM is required for the computer to work

a little correction: buying just 1Gb is cheaper then buying a few smaller sims. the question being whether or not your MB supports dual channel memory. If it does the better option is to get 2x512, make sure you buy two of the same manufacturer, preferrably from the same production …

I started with Debian, then moven on to SLES and RHEL (CentOS) for work. Now my desktop is Kubuntu and the working servers are Debian, Suse9 and CentOS4

sounds like good old "spyware sherif" to me... it is quite curable, but reformatting the machine is faster and much more efficient than the remedy

no problem with such setup. one thing you have to keep in mind though - some CD-RW drives don't function well when in slave mode. no idea why really, just an observation.

sorry, had no time to read the entire thread through, so I might repeat someone's answer :) Anyhow, installing a new SATA drive on a modern MB is pretty easy, especially on a GigaByte MB. All you do is set the SATA mode to IDE in BIOS, and the disk …

should work. not sure about the HOTswap, but the usual raid1 functionality and redundancy are present. btw linux software raid is very easy to manage through webmin

the best advice for choosing a distro I've ever heard sounded something like "choose the distro best known by the closest *NIX guru to you". Actually there are good sites like howtoforge.com and rocksproject.org that would guide you through setting up several different server types fitting your purpose. Since all …

sounds more like a hardware problem - the router/hub getting disconnected all the time because of corroded or shaky contacts or because of a bad power supply that makes it shutdown and restart all the time

Hello everyone, I am planning to move to Canada, Toronto within the next year, and I'd like to know what to expect. I'm a system admin with 9 years of serious experience, starting with NWDOS7, MSDOS, LANTASTIC, on to NT3.5/NetWare2..6 etc, and loads of summerjob and occasional experience since I …

1.5 times the RAM is the normal PF size for both windows and *nix. In wondows though, it's not really used-up space on the HD unless the computers runs out of RAM to use. Dynamic allocation's the correct word here. So it is only recommended to keep those 1.5Gb free …

the message, is it a windows error message, or does it come from the Epson SW?

had the same thing today in one of my storage servers. turned out of the the hdd's died

did you look in the recycle bin?

new computer - why bother fixing it, when you have warranty?

or, as it has many timmes happened to me, ghost didn't transfer the drive image correctly. try to re-copy the hdd again

1. ping 127.0.0.1 - if fails reinstall tcp/ip 2. ping your isp - if fails - you're not connected 3. make sure your proxy settings are correct 4. ping google.com (it's open to icmp echo requests) if fails, try using a static setting for DNS, or ping 192.116.202.222 (that's my …

the easiest way (the one BSA usually uses) is to try to update the computer. if WGA starts popping up - windows is illegal there. question is what you want to do about it, since I've no idea what the legislation on pirate software is like where you live.

have you tried connecting the damaged disk as a second HDD on an operational XP machine (or just boot with a live cd like WinPE/BartPE/Winternals/Knoppix/Ubuntu/etc)? if it can boot and see your partitions on the damaged drive, you can try to use R-Studio to recover whatever is recoverable. Another question …

a better choice would be to change both hdds jumpers to CS (cable select) that eliminates all possibilities of a misconfiguration, and also works better on some MBs. if that fails, I'd take the HDD back to the store for a replacement
