 | Hello, I agree with Catweazle to format it and start over. In the corporate world, this would have happened already. Your cards are shaky, and you might spend forever trying to get all the little nit-nacks to work properly. Good luck. Christian  |
| | Hello, A Virus is a computer program that affects your computer by doing unethical / unautorized modifications to your computer. For example, Solitare opens a screen where you can play cards. That is what you expected it to do. You authorized your computer to play cards. But what if it … |
| | Hello, You might want to consider something other than LinkSys. Tests have shown that they are leaky in the RF world, meaning if you have a radio near them, the darn switch interfears with the radio. It is a quality control / sheilding problem. I would look for a switch … |
| | Hello, I would format it into separate partitions for security and managability reasons. Unless you are doing digitial video recording, where you need such a large partition, break that large drive into a few partitions to keep it managable. Yes, there are going to be limits on how large an … |
| | Hello, Can you please tell us a little bit about your setup? Is this a second hard drive, or your primary one? Any partitions? Any data on this drive that needs to be saved off? When you format, the permissions should be cleared. But if you are referring to the … |
| | Hello, Any switch / additions made to the monitor cable will cause a degration. That is because you lose signal every time you make a connection. In the RF world, adding a double-barrel-female connector to splice two coax cables together can knock the signal down 50 percent! You do not … |
| | Hello, You should consider getting your computer into the 256 MB range for RAM, or if you can, 512 MB. At 128, your hard drive is doing a lot of swapping, making performance suffer. Unless you are looking at a new computer soon, I would get more RAM. Christian |
| | Hello, OS X will run fine on it. I am running X on a 333 MHz computer with 394 GB. The larger questions are: 1) Do you have OS X versions of your software that you use daily? Yes, the standard army of email readers, web browsers, FTP, and newsreaders …  |
 | Re: puta!!.com Hello, You could make a backup of the *.ini files, and then edit them, yes. If something blows up, go back to the backup and restore them. But I am wondering if there are other corruptions on that computer. Christian |
| | Hi, Can you ping the DNS servers that you are specifying? For example, if DNS.MYDOMAIN.COM = 123.123.123.2, are you able to ping that address? Christian  |
| | Hello, Various cards have worked for me under R.H.9. Make sure your pcmcia daemon is running, and also have kudzu identify the card for you. It might take a little more for you to get it working. Maybe I just lucked out. Christian  |
| | Hello, Is this happening exclusively in IE, or if you have Mozilla / Netscape installed, does it also happen there too? Christian |
 | Hello, I have a sin from Iowa State too.... before I had a computer of my own, I also did a little bit of darkness to make sure a computer was available for me. Came back an hour later, and the disabled computer was there for me. I would sit …  |
| | Hello, Couple things to consider: 1) FTP can be compromised. Passwords are sent in the clear. While it is not likely, this could cause a problem. 2) Dialup can move about 14 MB per hour. 1024 MB / 14 = a lot of time. Dialup will not do it for … |
| | Hello Dina, Your situation and answers will vary largly on if the person in question has a conscience. I also think that the legal people are dangerously close to opening a pandora's box concerning confidentiality agreements. I know that medical lawsuits are not only naming the hospitals, but the individual … |
| | Hello, Thank you for posting what you found. Do appreciate it. Christian |
| | Hello, I would strongly suggest that you look into C++ to handle this project. Traditional C has a number of more difficult processes that C++ has made easier. I would also look into developing your program on a Linux computer. The Microsoft Tools will be expensive for what you are …  |
| | Hello, NT will work with IDE hard drives, but before SP3 (I think it was), it will only recognize smaller hard drives and/or partitions. Gut feeling is that you found a nice large 20 GB hard drive, and are trying to use a single partition. That is not the proper … |
| | Re: New to Linux Hello, You are going to need the traditional things: keyboard, mouse, network card, computer, and electricity. Seriously, you will need media to install from, and will need somewhere to put it. I suggest setting up one computer to do this. My setup at home is a RedHat 9 Linux server, … |
| | Hello, I like Opera, but found Mozilla / Firefox to have a more consistant look and feel across Mac and Linux. Opera just displayed some pages weird. Ocnative1964, please come join us in the Mac forum sometime. :) Christian |
| | Re: password Hello, I would recommend to anyone getting a used computer (and personally, I do this for *any* computer that becomes mine... new or used) and rebuild it from scratch. Only by doing this, do you know what programs are on that machine, and you alone are responsible for configuring security … |

 | WOOO HOOOO! Great Job! At work, when you are cited for something like this, the winner has to bring in some munchies. I'd love to have some virutal brownies! :) Think it is a great idea. Christian  |
| | Hello, I don't think it matters all that much. I agree that if someone wanted to spam, that we would develop a way to knock them off (ban the user, ban the domain, ban the IP number). It's just a number.... right? :) Christian |
 | Re: Corrupted HDD? Hello, I would do for this case 4 partitions: swap (2x RAM memory) / /var /home /var will need about 400 MB. Want to isolate it so that any log files that are made will not fill up the main system. To do Linux Properly (in my humble opinion) / … |
| | Hello, FireNet, you need to use more () in those statements, as you will want to be clear on the operator precidence. I do not have my books handy, but am concerned that the == (equals) operator will be evaluated after the || (or). I would use () to make … |
| | Re: practice(newbie) Abu & FireNet, Let's keep the discussion Technical, and leave the other stuff off the boards please. That is what we are here for. Let's choose our wording better next time. Christian |
| | Hello, I looked at your code, and it appears to be a bubble-sort. Here is what I would do. 1) Get yourself a nice sheet of paper, and a pencil. 2) Draw out your data structure. +-------+ +------------------+ +------------------+ | head | | data | point | | data | … |
| | Hello, I think there is something wrong with your const declarations above. Instead of const float CONVERSION_FACTOR=100.0/180.0 I like the idea of: const float CONVERSION_FACTOR=0.555; You also forgot the ; after all of the const's in your program. Christian |
| | [B]Intro[/B] This guide is for building a Linux audio server using RedHat Linux and Icecast / Ices combination. I write this guide with no expressed warrenty or liability for it's accuracy or completion. You may use at your own risk. This is simply how I was able to get my … |
| | Hello, Second kudos for SquirrelMail. It was easy for me to setup. Had to tweek my services on the linux box a bit to accept imap connectivity, but it works for me. Web interface has a lot of customizations too, such as colors and how often it should check the … |
| | Hello, What is your base operating system? There are tools for every OS out there. Christian |
 | Re: XP Restore disk? Hello, I like thei idea of ghosting / drive image of the computer. I do this for all of the people that I have to support who are away from me. Make an image of it, and when things break, either re-image from the network, or cut CD's and be … |
| | Hello, First, a comment on style. I see that you do some declarations of variables inside of functions between instruction segments. That made the code hard to read. You may wish to consider placing all of your definitions at the top of the function, so that eyes do not have … |
| | Hello, I agree with Amar. It is not a laptop problem... it is a boot partition/management issue, and yes, have Windoze [sic] installed first, before adding RedHat. Also, make the boot disk under RedHat because if something goes funny, your rescue disk will get you into the linux environment (unless … |
| | Hello, To start with, when you declare variables, initialize them right away: double a = b = c = disc = x1 = x2 = 0.0; Next, you will need to use cin or scanf to read the data into variables. You will also need to check your operator precidence. … |
| | Hello, Did you do an update from 9x or ME, or is this a fresh install? Did you look at your components in the computer, and make sure that they are on Micro$oft's list of supported hardware? It sounds to me that there is some driver conflict that is causing … |
| | Hi, I am not a well - versed programmer, but yes, you do have a linked list going there in one direction. How about trying a dual linked list (a list that has pointers going in both directions so that if you had A B C and the "now" is …  |
| | Re: Help newb :) Hello, I would get a Linux box and install all of the programming languages on it so that you would have a clean, legal, and stable programming environment. All of the Microsoft tools will cost you $$, and Visual is not where you want to start programming. After that is … |
| | Hello, Welcome to the wonderful World of Macintosh. First, MAC is a Media Access Code number found on ethernet cards. When refering to a Macintosh, call it a Mac. :) There, now the style is set. Couple things: A) Looking at the specs, your computer is Beige, and it is … |
 | Hello, First, let me congradulate you on daring to leave Windows. One thing to bear in mind: Linux is different, but not so different. Think of upgrading from a car to a Truck. There are a variety of Linux flavors out there. I work a lot with Red Hat Linux, … |
| | Hello, I would love to help you with this, but need to know more about your setup. I assume that the Mac is going to be OS X, and the Windows XP machine is already there and running. What I need to know is 1) how knowledgable are you with … |
| | Hello, You are using 98, and all the computers are getting their updates except for ONE. I would be checking to see what is making that one computer unique. Different IP address? Networked properly? On all the time to receive the update? Different control panel setup? I would be leaning … |
| | Hello, Unfortunately, that code above is unfriendly to other processes on the computer, because of the infinite loop that is run. Granted, in this close example, you are looking at 5 seconds, and that won't cause something to croke. But, if I had to do a delay in the minutes … |
| | Hello, File sharing requires 4 things: network, network protocol, network services, and file permissions. Sounds like you have the network and protocol phases correct... one machine can talk to the other. My guess is to see if the share is properly configured on XP, and if youhave sharing permissions setup … |
| | Hello, If I may, it is not a good idea to run two anti-virus technologies at the same time. You have McAfee. You should remove that before trying to Norton yourself. Second, you might consider saving your data to another drive, and formatting and starting over. Third, have you given … |
| | Hello, I merged these threads, as they are the same "conversation". I wish I could help you eduardo, but I am a Redhat person. Christian |
| | Re: Com3 Hello, It sounds like you are using some Windows variant. What version? I also assume that you had to re-install windows, and are now setting up the new drive, unless you used something like ghost to move one to the other. Let us know the windows version, and we can … |
| | Hello, This was discussed in another topic involving UPS shutdown to other computers. Also, as a newbie, a Beowolf cluster is quite a haul! What I would do is: 1) determine the order that the boxes have to be shut down in. I have not built a Beowolf cluster, and … |
| | Re: IIS in 2003 Hello, Attitude won't get you too far, but I agree and moved the post back into 2003 where it belongs. Now, onto your problem. You want to type in http:\\inventory and have it come up with the listing on that particular computer (the server), or are you hoping that \\inventory … |
The End.
