We suppose to use a brand-x keyboard at office, my laptop is Lenovo, home PC is dell. I often struggle to type faster in every keyboard. How do you manage it?
We have an office of 15 people and all of us share one connection
One person can hog the connection to consume all the bandwidth.
which of these router firmwares would allow me to
restrict access to certain mac address
track bandwidth usage per mac-address or some personal identity
I do not want to track the actual websites visited, only the total bandwidth usage
Also want to use a router, not a dedicated computer
I've got a client who wants to move his companies servers off site. As he is only a 10 person company I'm looking for some pretty in-expensive options. One option is the smallest of the Amazon cloud machines. The question becomes can I make one of these machines a domain controller?
Cost wise the Amazon machine is cheaper than the power costs of keeping a server (or a PC) up and running in his home office 24x7 thanks to the high cost of power in Southern California.
I need suggestions for a single board computer, with these requirements:
Runs linux
Wifi
(I/O module?)
Does not need much computing power. I'm using it for applications like twittering when the coffee at the office is ready etc. I'd like it to run linux, for easy scripting and a full network stack. (preferably pre-installed)
We use Collabnet Subversion here in our office. We can change user passwords via console (remote access to the server), but the console is only accessible by a root password. Is there an existing web interface which users can use to change their passwords?
Windows update says that it could not search for new updates and gives the error code 80070643. From what I have read it has something to do with Office 2003 and I dont even have it installed. I tried downloading and installing vista sp2 but it fails as well giving me error: ERROR_EVT_CONFIGURATION_ERROR(0x89973aa2). Can someone please help me resolve this issue?
Hi,
I my office laptop running on XP, installation of Skype is blocked. Also I'm not able to download the software from internet.
So I downloaded the software from a different machine and tried copying it to my desktop. But during Copy, the software 'skype' got deleted from my pen drive itself.
How is this done.? And how can i get rid of this? Thanks in advance
I want to add a 1.5 - 2 TB hard drive to a Linux file and backup server we have in the office.
Will it make a difference if I'm using 5400 RPM vs a 7200 RPM hard drive? I was thinking about getting a Western Digital Green Drive or Samsung Ecogreen or similar.
I mapped a WebDAV drive in my Windows Explorer.
I can access files and browse etc.
But. When I try to open my Excel file it always opens in Read-only mode. How do I open a file so it opens with write permissions? I'm sure no-one else is working on the same file.
I'm using:
Windows Server 2008
Office Excel 2007
I'm away from my home office fairly regularly but I find it difficult to really settle to productive coding without my custom 4-screen custom built PC. My laptop (a slightly ageing HP Pavilion with a 1440 x 900 display) would really benefit from a portable monitor to plug into the vga port.
Is there any suitable products out there which offer an easily luggable lightweight monitor which would fit in my laptop, offer reasonable resolution and response, and significantly enhance my screen real-estate?
Had a power outage last night, still cleaning up from that. I have a file server that doesn't know it's part of the domain (getting the error: windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is down). I read that "resetting" the machine account the bring it back into the domain will do the trick.
Since this is the file server for the entire office, I would like to be sure that I won't bork the umpteen number of shares on this server.
Thanks!
I'm trying to make everything portable, as my office IT has cracked down on native app installation. One of my favorites (and a good CYA app in this case) is Spybot. All I can find are directions on how to alter the installation to make it portable. Is there a single download out there that would put the app right onto my USB drive?
I just inherited this a single linux box running pop/smtp for a small office (25 users). I'm new to Linux. I think the box is running Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 as the server (this is bannered accross the screen occassionally) but not sure of the release/kernal/build etc. I need to be certain of both the server os and email linux versions in order to perform research, admin and support. Any help/pointers on how to do this is much appreciated.
I'm looking for a desktop, cross-OS, Word/Writer-like program (this is, that lets the user format the content, as opposed to source code editors) without all the feature bloat + performance overhead I'd get with an office suite.
Ideally, most of its features would be focused on:
the text editing itself - clever replaces, indentation control, etc, and
separating the content from its presentation, à la HTML/CSS.
Which programs match these features?
I need the laptops at my office to have a static IP for security purposes and identification. However, some employees take their laptops home in the evening. If I have the Wi-Fi configuration set to use a static IP, how can they have a dynamic IP at home?
The laptops are using Windows Vista and Windows 7.

I'd like to be able to SSH to my Ubuntu 10.04 office PC from the outside. I am thus thinking to start up an SSH daemon on the PC. What are the security issues, possible glitches, specific configuration settings, etc. I should be aware of?
In case it matters: this is essentially for my own use only, I don't think there will be other people using it; it's an Ubuntu 10.04 PC in a mostly Windows 7/Vista/XP environment.

Hello,
We are doing distributed development, working at home, office and sometimes at customers.
We are using assembla for source-repository and we need a centralized-remote SQL Server 2008 database hosting for (similar to svn on assembla) our SQL development server.
Can you name / recommend any service providers?
In MS Word, there is an option to choose the pasting behavior between the same application and different applications. It's under the Office button-word options-advanced.
However I don't see the same option for Powerpoint. Is there one available? I hate it when they don't make it consistent between apps.
I would like to know how to configure a extra link to my Mikrotik Routern or Cisco 3800 series router.In my office our bandwidth is 1mb, which is insufficient.But an extra 4mb was made available to us by a different ISP/hub.How do we integrate this new link into our existing link to boost our bandwidth (N.B it uses a private IP)?Our router has 2 interfaces:1 to the modem n the other to the switch.Kindly reply asap.
I am working on my MacBook Pro. In the office I have 1 27" Monitor attached to it, at home I tend to work without an second monitor. For that setup I want to change the wallpaper if no 2nd monitor is attached.
Is there a app that helps me do that? Can I do this with applescript without manual activating that script?
I've tried to find a work around for this, but most of my searches end up in people who can't use the find-on-this-page feature at all in IE8. It appears for me, but for some reason takes forever to find things on a text heavy page, often making IE completely un-usable for several minutes.
I thought I was the only one, but other people in my office have noticed it as well.
Is anyone aware of a work around?
