Make sure you have the latest firmware on the unit. Ver 1.25NA (if you're in North America) [url]http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=DIR-628[/url] Double check your internal IP. What ip are you forwarding into? Is this IP static on the the device? Can you access that Port's service from another system inside your network?

We have another windows convert. Welcome to your new OS. So there are some differences in the directory structure between the 2.

That Trendnet's 4 Gig ports can be used as normal ports. See below: [url]http://trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=230_TEG-424WS&cat=117[/url] 24 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX Fast Ethernet ports 4 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-MDIX Gigabit ports They are referred to as 'uplink ports' probably because when this router was released, 100 to hosts was the norm. 1 Gig was …

Ubuntu makes a 'netbook' edition for download. [url]http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] HAve you tried that? Also running the install iso from a usb stick is very easy. I do it all the time. I can't remember the last time I burnt an ISO to a CD. [url]http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download[/url] Look at step 2 for your …

You probably have a 172.68.50.0 255.255.255.0 subnet. Is that a correct assumption? If it is, you can double your hosts by changing the subnet mask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0. Then your network stays at 172.168.50.0, your hosts can use 172.68.50.1-172.68.51.254, and the broadcast becomes 172.168.50.255. Your default gateway on the …

I agree with Rik. If the bulk of your space is in your Documents, then you might want to consider taking the older items that you only keep for historicals and move those off to an external disk to save some space. Do you have a large media collection on …

The power lead to the fan from the motherboard could have issues. If the fan works if, when out of the laptop, you apply power, but in the laptop never turns on, even at bootup, then it could be a problem with that power connector..... Are you certain the fan …

The ASA 5505 is a business class firewall that has a lot more flexibility when it comes to configuration. With that flexibility comes a very big learning curve if you've not used an ASA before. Not that it's rocket science, but a beginner will get frustrated with the command line …

ESXi is a barebones VMWare OS that only runs an a limited number of certified servers. This will not run on a PC. You can try VMware Server or Workstation but will need to have them licensed. I think they did away with the trial period for these products. I've …

1st thing I would do is hook up an external monitor and see what the video looks like. If it works, then you have a damaged LCD. If the external vid also fails, then its probably the vid card. If the vid card is on the MB (as it usually …

Here's the easy list. Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS] [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]] [-w timeout] [-R] [-S srcaddr] [-4] [-6] target_name Options: -t Ping the specified host until stopped.

The USB headset will probably not work along with the onboard sound output. IF you use windows, usually only 1 device can be active for sound output. Go with the above suggestions, and get a splitter. Costs all of $1.90 at radio shack.

This should probably be posted in the software dev areas, not the server hardware areas. But with multiple users accessing the same app, it becomes necessary to use various techniques to manage various database reads and writes using some sort of file/record/field lock, handling multiple requests, inevitably there will be …

With freezing issues, I would do the following: Boot into Safe mode (keep hitting the f8 key during the boot). In Safe mode, run MSCONFIG. Select Diagnostic startup. And let the unit reboot. This little app shuts off all the auto-run 'stuff' and lets the pc boot pretty clean. If …

IMHO, the 2 best free Antivirus products are AVG and Avast. For an independent review: [url]http://www.av-comparatives.org/[/url] Avast gets higher marks for detection without false positives. AVG is a fine product and I've used it for years, you'll like it. I've moved to avast since they did away with the yearly …

Does this machine site behind a router or do you plug in directly to your ISP modem? Can you ping the default gateway at 112.205.0.1? Can you ping the DNS server at 125.106.5.2? Can you resolve names at the DNS using NSLOOKUP? Can you ping beyond those to 4.2.2.2? If …

I don't understand your question. Do you want to know what subnet mask to use to support 32 hosts? That would be a mask of /26 which supports 62 hosts.

No need to remove the battery, you just need to set the cmos reset jumper on the mainboard. Boot up... Then reset it back for normal operations.

NMAP SCanner is what I use. ZenMap GUI can be used as a front end if you don't like command line.

Call ATT and give them you IMEI number. At the very least they can add the IMEI to a blacklist so that the phone can't be used on their network. This doesn't prevent it from being jailbroken and used elsewhere, but i doubt a petty thief would know how to …

bit rate = baud rate when over 110, so for 1st question, 12000/8 = 1500 baud For the 2nd question, total bits sent = 7 bit data, 2 stop bits, 1 bit parity = 10 bits. 2 stop bits + 1 parity bit = 3 bits. 3/10 = 30% overhead.

A shutdown is a complete power down of the system. When started again, its a fresh load of the OS and the related services. Hibernation is typically a process where the OS will take it's current state (memory, running apps, etc..) and write the state to a file on the …

I'm just going to ditto wldake's reply. Using a random public IP as an internal network doesn't cause any issues internally.

oodefrag is another good one. But remember that every defrag tool will slow down your machine.

You can pop out the hard drive, and use a USB to IDE/SATA adapter to hook up the drive like a USB-drive. I use this one: [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2329300&CatId=3770[/url] The adapters are pretty cheap. As long as the drive's file system is readable and the drive works (hardware wise), then you should …

Does the wifi and ethernet get different IP addresses on different subnets via DHCP? Connect both and run an IPCONFIG /all and post the results.

In the ASA, you have the static NAT created. You will also need to create an inbound access list to allow the traffic... access-list outside_in extended permit tcp any host <public ip mapped to .60> eq 80 access-list outside_in extended permit tcp any host <public ip mapped to .60> eq …

If it's a remote IP and you are looking for its open ports... use nmap something like: nmap -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v -PE -PS22,25,80 -PA21,23,80,3389 10.0.0.0

I wish my wife would buy me a $800 toy. Tell her to forget the ipad and spend the money on a 3 day cruise for 2 instead.

perfect sense. You can mount a windows drive in Ubuntu and use it for storage.... Some settings change depending on the filesystem, but pretty straight forward. HAve a look at this: [url]http://technical-itch.co.uk/2006/11/06/how-to-access-your-windows-hard-drive-from-ubuntu/[/url]

If you have another PC, download the installer for MalwareBytes Boot the PC into safe mode, START - run - MSCONFIG and choose selective startup and uncheck the startup items. Reboot normal and you should be able to load malware bytes and update and run a scan. You can also …

Sounds like you may have bricked it. When you plug in via ethernet, do you get a DHCP ip on your system? If yes, run a IPCONFIG /ALL from command prompt and you will see the DHCP server address. That would be the router ip to connect to. If you …

Test the CD in another system to make sure the CD burn and the image are good. If it tests well, then look for a startup boot menu. Many systems let you hit F12 or something to manually select the boot device.

If you are booting and you see the GRUB loader offer you a choice, then at some point, you chose to install ubuntu to the disk. The ubuntu install most likely took a portion of the disk for itself leaving the remainder for windows. So you have 2 tasks here. …

IF the PC is showing memory amounts changing, it could be that one of your mem chips is going bad (or has finally failed). The normal troublesshooting for this would be to pull power, open the unit, and remove all but 1 memory chip. Then reboot and see if it …

There must be another administrator account on the machine that you would need to use. A limited user can not grant himself admin rights. Usually, the PC must have at least 1 admin account... I don't think windows would let you demote all accounts to limited user, so there must …

Nintendo power glove on steroids?

You looking for a quote or something? Just hit up blackbox or monoprice for prices.

Check your DNS settings. What are you using? START - RUN - CMD - type IPCONFIG /ALL and see Check if you get any resolution at all. START - RUN - NSLOOKUP - enter a site i.e. [url]www.google.com[/url] and it should spit back the ip address for the site. If …

If the router is answering on port 80, then you most likely have enabled management from the wan. Its on option in most consumer routers. You can either turn it off or change the listening port to something other than port 80 (so the router listens on port 8080 and …

One obvious question, can this laptop ping any other network device? Are there any other firewall/security suitess installed (i.e. symantec, mcafee, avast)? Is tcpip the only protocol installed? Are you perhaps accessing resources using something else? (ips/spx)

If you think its the VPN, then uninstall it and retest. But some simple things to check: In your browser, check to see if you use a proxy. Did you use one before? Remove or add in as needed. Is your Email on a internet server or in a corporate …

If canyouseeme says the port is open, then something is answering it. I assume you have triple checked that the port forward is going to your machine's ip and that your machine has a static ip or dhcp reserved ip. Since the port is answering, then I think its safe …

All emails servers will hold the mail until a client connects to it and pulls the mail or otherwise reads the mail list. If you don't want to receive mail, just don't let you client connect to the mail server....?? Not really sure what you are trying to accomplish....

So if ubuntu live disk can mount and read the file contents when somehow windows can't... buy your replacement HD and another USB to IDE/SATA adapter, mount the 2nd drive and start a mass copy from the original to the new disk. If you have windows on the internal HD …

AFAIK, there is no way to get 53 subnets from one subnet mask. Here's the cisco reference: [url]http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080093f33.shtml[/url]

You'll need to download and create the floppy disk with the correct drivers for your raid controller. When installing XP, you'll see it prompt for "F6 to load other drivers"... something like that anyway, I don't remember the exact words. Hit F6 and the setup will keep going. It will …
