Fasola: We're not here to write whole piecemeal applications for you. Please post code you've designed or written yourself, and others will help you troubleshoot your code.

I can back this up; Dell has been shipping SP2 on their systems since about late September.

I'm not entirely sure that we should be discussing this here. Windows XP Pro is designed to only accept 10 incoming connections. Christian is right-- it's like trying to tow a large boat with a Ford Pinto. There's not a registry tweak, as it is something that Microsoft coded into …

[QUOTE=Catweazle] I'll post suggestions in a day or so, but I've a wedding to attend to firt :)[/QUOTE] Who's Firt getting married to! Wish them the best! ;)

Contribute code? Can you be more specific?

I can make a guess-- It's got an SiS chipset... you might want to try the SiS900 module. I have several machines with that card, and it works like a charm. It seems to make sense that they'd use that chipset for their LAN connections.

Thought about writing a device driver for Linux, perhaps? [url]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1565922921/102-0604966-5473715?v=glance[/url] This book has a really neat example of how you could write a kernel device interface to the system's memory. You could be really ambitious, and try to write a full-fledged device driver, or you could just write some kind …

[QUOTE=jwenting]correct. Terminal server has existed for a decade or so at least.[/QUOTE] Have you seen Virtual Server? It's pretty neat. I use it to test out server configurations before really implementing them: [url]http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx[/url] Imagine it's like VMware or Virtual PC, but it's all web-based, using VNC to do all the …

What exactly are you having trouble with? Please post code you've created, and we can help you troubleshoot it.

What compiler/interpreter do you use to run this code?

I agree that an admin can almost be hands-off in responding to posts in their own forum. Mods generally understand that the admin are busy doing behind the scenes stuff, so we carry on as normal, and only bug the admin when needed. Now, it might be worth it to …

[QUOTE=cscgal]I got off to a ridiculously slow start. The second month we were open, no new threads were posted and only one new post was contributed over the entire month! Just goes to show ya ... ;)[/QUOTE] ...And look at us now! I remember times when Dani and I were …

Have you tried changing your screen resolution? What resolution are you currently running?

Question 1: It's called a converter. If you're talking 80-pin SCA to 50-pin, it should work fine. You can get them on ebay for under $10 US, shipped, even. I've got an 80-pin to 68-pin adapter on a 10,000RPM Ultra SCSI drive, and it's pretty nice, I must say. Also, …

You can do it [url=http://search.ebay.com/quark-xpress-6-1_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQsatitleZquarkQ20xpressQ206.1]EEEEEEEEEEEBBBBAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!![/url] Seriously, though. If you need it, you may as well save up the cash for it and buy it retail...

It might be a limitation in the audio hardware. What system are you running?

To do any of this stuff, you'll need to set up Port Forwarding on your NAT router/device. Simply forward the port of your VNC service (5900) on your local machine to your router's port 5900. Same for FTP-- forward your local machine's port 21 to the router's port 21. Check …

I, too, find this case kind of funny. It is refreshing to see someone take a company (any company, really), to task over their policies. I agree with the "little guy"'s position and all, but I personally wouldn't have settled if I had the time. It would have been interesting …

I can't think of a favorite song I have, neccesarily. I really like jamming out to too many songs to pick one out. But, the guitar solos on the song "December Flower" from In Flames is pretty awesome.

Is it not possible just to replace the old 486 or Pentium hardware? That stuff is SUPER cheap now. Even if the university wouldn't authorize funds for it, you could probably dumpster dive and find the base equipment or systems you need. The way I look at it, why change …

Jeantech cases are really nice, but if I had the choice and money, I'd probably go for a Lian-Li case. My pick would be this one: [url]http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-112-022&depa=1[/url] I like it: It's got lots of 3.5" bays, it doesn't have a case window (I think they're gaudy), and it doesn't have …

if you're talking about at the command prompt, you can make an alias in your ~/.bashrc file: [b]alias rm='rm -i'[/b] That will make it "interactive"-- prompting you to delete everytime you use the command.

Wouldn't you just define the function and then call it from within main()? I think you might want to review your textbook some more on functions. I'm not worth my salt as a programmer, and I could tell you this much. Also, I'm sure Narue might mention this, but I …

Are you loading a 64-bit version of Windows? Is this a RAID setup, or a single drive configuration? The 64-bit driver will only work in 64-bit versions of Windows, by the way-- that could be the "corruption" Windows is telling you. My experience has been that if you load it …

If you get your nose into enough places, you'll pick up free hardware. Heck, you can even pick up 200mhz-300mhz boxes for cheap at thrift stores. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for it, though.

Check this search: [url]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22freeBSD%22+livecd&btnG=Google+Search[/url] ...then try this one: [url]http://www.freesbie.org/[/url]

Disconnect the drive and buy a new one? You might want to try contacting the manufacturer of the drive-- it sounds like you hosed it with the firmware update. They may have a service where you can send it in and have them reflash it. Otherwise, I suggest you hit …

Just to add to Zachery's comments, once you pick a distribution of Linux, the installation guide they have will almost assuredly have detailed instructions on how to configure a dual-boot system.

Did you reset your BIOS configuration? If your BIOS expects a drive to be there, then it is just going to sit there. Go into your BIOS and make sure the Primary/Secondary Master and slave drives are all set to "Automatic", and that should do it.

[QUOTE=nizzy1115]im pretty sure that it is not water used, but a liquid with an increased thermal dynamic properties that absorbs heat quicker. [/QUOTE] It actually is water. You want to put a special solution in the water, though, to keep various "grungies" like bacteria, algae, and mold from forming in …

There's a way to do it, but it's really convoluted. The best way to do it is figure out some way to get the Windows 98 installation files on your hard drive, any way possible. You could remove your hard drive and place it in another system temporarily. If you …

I've got a Slack 8.1 CD that I keep around for older systems. I almost exclusively rely upon Slack for older machines, fancying Debian Woody in a close second. I've used 9 and 9.1, and I like them, but something just felt "nice" about 8.1 on older systems-- the bare.i …

nicentral provided some good suggestions-- I can only add some things to it. Firstly, are you running this FTP box on a LAN, or do you want it to be available to the outside world? If it's on a LAN, you can pretty well leave your FTP server set wide-open, …

Have you set up that XP Machine to use your proxy server for FTP as well? I think you have to do that in Windows XP-- it may not be set by default.

Our Gmail invites thread is still alive and kicking, with activity as recent as 4 days ago: [url]http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post107743.html[/url] Rather than clutter up the forum again, let's keep posting invites in there.

Please don't crosspost. You've already posted this question in the C/C++ forum. If you'd like me to move that from the C++ forum over to here, please PM me.

You can program Access databases with VB, I know that for a fact. VBA is just a subset of VB, if I'm not mistaken. Are you sure you shouldn't be posting this in the VB forum? That sounds like a more appropriate forum for your questions.

What kind of motherboard is this, and what is the pattern of beeping? Those are the first two questions I'd be asking. Once we get this information, we'd be able to tell what was going on, as those beeps often key you into what particular component has failed. Failing that, …

[QUOTE=MpG]Well, I can't find the proper settings on Messenger to setup a LAN intercommunication.Do you know exactly what to do? Thanks.[/QUOTE] You don't need any special software. Two people can just be signed into Messenger at the same time if you're both connected to the Internet through a router. My …

[QUOTE=Cyanide Bomber]is it possible to get a new motherboard with a better vid chip? i have a good connection so i can get the parts cheap[/QUOTE] I doubt it. You'd have to get the parts from IBM. If the motherboard they're offering has a 64MB video card, and you've already …

Please don't label your threads as "SUPER URGENT", even if they are for you-- it's very rude. [url]http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#urgent[/url]

The best thing to do is have a program like Alcohol 120%, Nero or Easy CD Creator that allows you to burn the .iso image. Drag-N-Drop won't work; you'll need a program that reads "other image formats" (that's what it's called, even though it's the standard). That should put you …

[QUOTE=Auto]Already figured this one out and sent a PM to see if I can have this thread locked or removed.[/QUOTE] How did you fix it? It would be really nice to have solution here, for posterity's sake. Perhaps you could submit a code snippet?

Sounds like something is writing to your registry, perhaps. When did this start happening? Did you change anything recently? At the very least, I'd try a System Restore back to a date you know when this wasn't happening.

Just to add to Christian's comments, Windows Backup works with two types of backup media: Tape drives, and any device that has a drive letter. Anything with a drive letter can include other hard drives/folders, network shares mapped to a drive letter, or CD-drives if you're running some type of …

I'm hoping I can provide some insight on this. I'm not a programmer, but I'm familiar with some of these concepts. Peer-to-peer is really the same as Client/Server, if you think about it. It's just that each host is both a client and a server. So, every interaction between the …

[QUOTE=xfruan]Does the system ("cls") method work in windows 2k, because in my memory, "cls" is a DOS command and win 2k is not built on DOS.[/QUOTE] It does work. The "Command Prompt", as it is called, supports a range of DOS commands. [b]cls[/b], for instance, is one of them.
