 | I like $2 Bills. Can anyone here, without looking it up on the internet, tell me what president is on them? Christian  |
 | Hello, I am assuming a few things: * The wireless router has places to plug in 10/100T cables that are on the same subnet as the wireless part * That you want to manage the internet connectivity with the Windows 2K Server and not use the wireless router for management. … |
| | Hello, It is possible that the drive wasn't unmounted properly on the previous computer. After you hit the verify button in Apple's Utility, did it enable the Repair button? If not, you will need something stronger than Disk Utility, such as Norton's or Disk Warrior. I am not a big … |
| | Hi, You might have a permissions problem on the computer. I assume you are using OS X. You should be able to boot the installer disk, and run the disk utility. Do a check for disk permission problems. If you need more help / hints, let us know. Christian |
| | Hello, Just be aware that the new intel Macs do not support classic. If you are going to get into the intel world, that will stop you. Whatever the case, make sure you get plenty of memory for the new computer, as when running classic, you will have two operating … |
| | Hello, Mac OS 9 and earlier do not have the "multiple users" paradigm that OS X does, therefore, there is no master password that needs to be reset under OS 9. If you are in OS X, and in Classic, there may be administrative things on the OS X side …  |
| | Hello, In your case, the Word Macro virus does all it's damage in Microsoft Word -- and it is on a different layer than the OS. A Macro virus should not affect your OS X install, unless you open Word and let it run it's course. As you are using … |

| | Hello, You can also use a USB thumbdrive, or put the computer on a network, and transfer the files via wire. Worst case would be a USB floppy drive onto a disk... Also, I had a Powerbook G3 and a USB DVD burner under 10.2 and 10.3, and never had … |
| | Hello, I think it is a great time to make a backup of your current data, and then rebuild the system from scratch. Yes, moving everything to the Applications folder was a bad idea -- I amazed that the thing even started up for you. While you might be able … |
| | Hello, Did you try zapping the PRAM and see if that helps you? I am wondering if your computer is having some other issues internally. It is possible your hard drive got corrupted, but if you are having trouble booting from CD, then there is something greater going on. How … |
 | Hello, I think the levels are fine right where they are, especially for the Tech Talk forums. I feel that if you lump everything together per category, that you are going to get lost in questions that drill to the specific. Right now, let's say that I want to install … |
| | Hello, The guidelines are rather simple: the student needs to show some work and effort, meaning code and talking the problem out. All are welcome to discuss the theory (like you did chainsaw), but we generally do not offer code until the student puts some on paper, and then we …  |
| | Hello, For $30 to $40, you can get a small ethernet hub / switch, and remove all confusion involving crossover cables vs. normal ones. Save yourself the grief, and get the proper hardware. Christian  |
| | Hello, Just to toss some fire... if you have Windows Firewall up, or another good firewall, the ICMP packets may be blocked, meaning that your ping test will fail. After reading all this, I think you should consider a short course on networking and administration. From what I am gathering, … |
| | Hello, I think you have it reversed... Macs from long ago recognized FAT and FAT32, so they could access PC disks, and copy files from them. Unless you had special software on your PC, you could not access a Mac floppy disk. OF course, this only applied to HD floppy … |
 | Hello, My first computer was an Apple IIe back in the day. First Macintosh was a Mac LC in 1991. Then the PowerMac 7100 in 1993. Then the Powerbook 520 in 1995. Then the Powerboog G3 in 2000. The 7100 is in use with an accelerator card by my cousin … |
| | Hello, I would back up my data, and reformat the computer and start over. Why? Because you are not certain what Norton did to your computer, and you have modified the patch level of the machine. You are going to drive yourself nuts trying to get IE to work with … |
| | Hello, A different program is: Limewire. But I fully agree with GordonFi that the legal reasonings should prevent you from even wanting to dive into this type of arrangement. A lot of the Napster / Limewire / Kazaaa software like to bring in viruslike programs to do things like steal … |
| | Re: Mac, "Plug In," Hello Marty, Microsoft abandoned IE on Mac OS X. You have the latest, and probably, the last version available. You should consider working with Safari or Mozilla / Firefox / Netscape. I personally run with Firefox, as it is quick and "light". My guess would be that Safari would work … |
| | Hello, I am glad that you got it working. You might consider posting the solution below, and mention what you had to correct, in order to get the code working. Glad you are all set, Christian |
| | Hello, I am not a hiring manager, just an IT guy that is 8 years out of college. Certifications go nicely to complement experience. But if you look at a fresh-out-of-school guy with some certs vs. someone who has worked with the technology for several years without them, I am … |
| | Hello, I remember a control panel that used to control the flashing of the keyboard lights. Ah, the fond memories of those days... Resetting the PRAM should have cleared up any misgivings concerning the relationship between the computer and the monitor. You could try to boot into "safe mode" by … |
| | Re: internet Hello Jwenting, we are not here to judge others on their use of language (except in cases of profanity, when the moderator staff will ban others), nor shall we make assumptions on backgrounds and whose parents do what. If you cannot add to a conversation in a beneficial way, please …  |
| | Re: Benchmark Hello, Actually, look into a "profiler" on your system. Profilers are designed to measure code execution times, and help identify where you need to optimize your code. The profiler design also takes account how much CPU the profiler code consumes, Check out profilers. Christian |
| | Hello, I assume that you were using this data under NT/2000/XP and you have a new OS running NT/2000/XP. If this is the case, you have a new version of NT/2000/XP running, and are just being blocked by the OS. See, even though the account names are the same (Administrator), … |
 | Hello Dave, Good Choice! You will be able to get OpenOffice to work on the Mac under OS X, but it will look a bit different than your typical Mac application, and it will require the installation of the Darwin tools in order to function. I have decided to hold … |
 | Re: Buying a server. Hello, We really need more information to help you properly along here. If you are doing pure website hosting, static pages that do not require Microsoft's propriarty (pardon spelling) .ASP things, then I would suggest that you go with Linux, and start out with Apache. Yes, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 … |
| | Hello, You are asking quite the load there. How are you keeping the servers in sync? You have a Windows server on one end, and a open BSD on the other. Is your windows serving .ASP or .NET? Is your BSD box serving Java? How are you keeping the data … |
| | Hello, I seem to remember a graphical client to reset/renew the network interfaces, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a control panel. Closest thing you might have to do to get this type of functionality is write some small batch files and attach them to icons. Christian |
| | Hello, Check your grant tables to see if you have the update permission. [url]http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/adding-users.html[/url] This could be the source of your problem... you might not have the UPDATE permission. Christian  |
| | Re: Gimp? Hello, GIMP has a limitation of 256 colors, the last time I checked. Photoshop works with 32 (millions + an alpha channel). Photoshop also allows you to batch operations for unattended operation, among other things. GIMP is a nice foot in the door, or for simple picture cropping, but it …  |
| | Hello, I agree with Tek's response, but would add that you need to enable filesharing on the computers, and usually make an account on them with the proper access permissions to make the shares happen. Wireless technology will allow the files to move around just fine, but unless you file … |
| | Hello, If it is a server, you may consider running Remote Desktop. Even though RDP is available on XP, it will force the local user to logoff when connected in that mode. You might want to re-think your strategy on this though... by creating a hole in the firewall, and … |
 | Hello, I use a soft cloth, that is lightly damp too. Be sure not to dampen the cloth over the keyboard. Christian |
| | Re: firewall Hello, The real question here is what type of service you require with the firewall, along with what OS are you working with. None of those products would work well with my Mac. By service, I mean how flexible do you require your firewall to be. Do you need to … |
| | Hello, You either have a hardware failure or a software failure. Look at the configuration screens on the access point, and see if the network is still defined based on how you set it up. See if someone hacked you by tapping into your network. See if the WEP security … |
| | Hello, A very interesting discussion. I personally have an old Palm, the one that has the word Pilot on it, before the Pilot pen company sued successfully for tradmark infringement. I also have a Handspring b/w unit. I love using it for addresses, calendaring, and notetaking. I do not use …  |
 | Hello, I agree with the other poster that you do not mention any sort of backups at all, nor do you break your system partition up so that you have another partition with your data. Yes, this means C: and D: And I am so happy that I have to … |
| | Hello, Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't push the MCLE -- Microsoft Certified License Engineer. Their scheme of licensing and making things work is evil. You may have to go into the Terminal Services manager, and see if there are restrictions defined there on how many connections the computer will service. You might … |
| | Hello, I have moved this thread over to the Windows section, because it is an OS issue. You should be able to control the situation from the Monitors control panel. As far as your desktop icons, it depends on what "mode" you have XP running under. If you have the … |
| | Hello, I have moved your problem request into a Windows forum, although you have not specified the proper OS that your troubles are with. Please let us know what OS you are using on your computer, and with that, we may be able to help. Christian |
| | Hello, It certainly is possible to access Novell servers from a remote location, as long as you have bound Ethernet_II to the server, and have specified an IP address. You might also need to tell your Novell Client on the workstation the name of the tree, and have it setup … |
| | Hello, I believe iPhoto is an OS X only application. I am not sure though. Are you sure you are running OS 8 / 9? Christian  |
| | Hello, It sounds like you are having a lot of grief with that computer. You have changed a number of hardware items, and have re-tried the software. You haven't done much with the exterior enviornment however, and that may be the source of your grief. I doubt it is a … |
| | Hello, I am trying to get Dani to start cooking at home more too. We did do a DaniWeb Cookbook a few months ago where people shared their treats on the site. I don't know if she has put on an apron yet and got cooking or not. She does … |
| | Re: xp home or not Hello, Your question will be better answered in our WIndows Forum. I'lll move your post there. Christian |
| | Hello, I agree with Bugz that Memory is a good culprit here, but you could also have a bad monitor card, or perhaps the keyboard is not installed properly. I would put money on the memory however. Christian |
| | Hello, You certainly may re-format the computer and install OS X if you have the CD's to do it, and the proper license. If you do not have OS 9 disks, you might want to upload / copy out your OS 9 System folder first before formatting, so that you … |
| | Hello, I am sorry for being gone so long. Your problem is that you have two different technology levels at your location: the Prismo laptop is newer (USB/Firewire) and the LW is older (LocalTalk). AppleTalk is a software protocol suite; LocalTalk is the "hardware" that was Apple's networking back in … |
The End.
