My notebook works under Windows XP and desktop computer under Vista. Seems to be that Windows Vista has no native support for creating network via FireWire cable. Is there 3rd-party solution?
I'm planning this development environment with a few database servers, and originally thought I would have a few private networks. I then thought it might be unnecessary as the ESXi cluster already provides redundancy with 4 NICs (in my case) and should manage the network traffic pretty intelligently, right?
Two private networks
Zero private networks
What are the advantages/disadvantages between the two shown configurations - on an ESXi 4.1 host?
My sister still has Win XP. She tried to print a document on her USB printer and now it's stuck in the printing queue. I tried the following:
Restart the computer
Restart the printer
Delete the entry from the printing queue
From the printing queue choose Printer\Cancel All Documents
Right click the print job and choose Pause
The status of the printing job now reads "Deleting - Paused - Printing".
Nothing I do seems to get rid of this stuck printing job.
What should I do?
I get this error when installing any network adapter on my computer:
The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
I have tried many different adapters and many different drivers. Any ideas?
OS: Windows XP Home SP3
Here is the Hardware IDs for the onboard NIC:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1050&SUBSYS_2019107B&REV_02
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1050&SUBSYS_2019107B
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1050&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1050&CC_0200

RE:
Putting this out there in case someone else runs into this issue. The intel chipset is on-board. I discovered the reason for the crappy resolution in windows 7 was that the memory to share with the video card was set to 1MB in the BIOS. I changed this to 8MB (the maximum) and then the PC rebooted I was able to select a higher resolution.

Nick,
Does this give Aero functionalty ?
I'm seeing a hugh difference of free disk space between
df -h
and du -sxh /
I've understood in my question Resolving unix server disk space not adding up that du -sxh / is a better estimation as to when I will run out of disk space. Having said that, assuming in my case the above sentence will prove to be wrong and I will run soon out of disk space, what will happen? I assume the MySQL will fail INSERT queries, but other than that, will I just need to delete some files or will it be a problematic situation?
I have a tree of snapshots taken about once an hour as I progressed through a rather tricky server setup. Now that I'm done, I would like to get rid of the snapshots, but I gather that these are actually differencing drives. If that's the case, does it not mean that deleting a snapshot will in fact revert me back to a previous point in time. Or does it mean that deleting a snapshot merges the changed bits into the parent VHD.
I need to add a site to trusted sites on all computers in my domain. I can do it with the "site to zone assignment list", however when I do, it locks trusted sites on the client computer "this setting is managed by your administrator".
What I need is a way to add the site, make it persistant, and not affects the users ability to add trusted sites of thier own. (It's a development enviroment, sites are created and tested regularly, they need that ability.)
On windows server 2003 when one user connects to the server via RDP the default printer of the server for her profile does not change to the redirected printer of the session.
This only happens with the one user all the other users default printers defaults to their session printer automatically.
I tried the following solution but there was no \Terminal Server\Printer Redirection in gpedit.msc
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731963(v=ws.10).aspx
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection
Is there a different place to check the Printer Redirection?
I'm reinstalling a Windows 7 PC and want backup all the system, application and users data to latter decide what data can be useful. What directories I must backup? I will format the PC and all importante data must be saved. I have doubts particularly about C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData and how save it using a Ubuntu live CD in case I don't have access to the Windows 7 PC. AppData have a lot of syslink inside!
I would like to automatically capture a photo every 10 seconds off of my BBC Planet Earth blu-ray (since it is 1080p) and put them in a folder on my computer (for windows 7 rotating backgrounds).
How can I do this?
I have an old Symbol LL500 scanner interface box and a scanner to go with it. The box's original cable used one of the old microsoft mouse connectors, but I got a converter to USB. The problem is that when I connect it to my MacBook, the interface powers up and works, but the computer dosen't recognize it or even say that a device is connected. Is there any way to make it see that the interface is there or am I just screwed?
Hi there!
I tried running DxDiag (DirectX diagnostics), and I noticed that my graphics card is set to the onboard one that comes with the Core i5 processor (some Intel HD stuff).
On my computer, I also have a dedicated graphics card (an Nvidia 310). No serious gaming stuff, I know - just for programming.
However, I would still love to know how to switch to that dedicated graphics card instead.
My laptop is an MSI CX720.
What I did:
1)added new wireless network in wireless network settings and gave it SSID
2)gave laptop the IP like 192.168.0.1, mask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.0.2
3)gave the telephone with wifi the same mask but IP and gateway rewersed
But telephone can not find my new wireless network(it can find all other networks), computer also can not find it.
where is error? how to make it visible and working?
if my steps are wrong tell me correct way to establish this connection via wi-fi
This computer came to my shop for just a simple Windows tuneup, so after doing all my tweaks, I noticed I was getting an error when trying to synchronize with the time server.
It wasn't until I was about to give up that I noticed in the calendar that it's one weekday late.
Here's a screenshot.
As you can see, the day today, Friday - January 7th is a Thursday in the calendar. How is this possible?
I have just added a Windows Home Server (WHS) to my home network and a few of my computers are now connected to it and, using the client software, back themselves up each evening.
I want to connect a computer that's outside of my home network (in someone else's house) to do the WHS via the internet.
How do I do this? (i.e. There must be a way to hack the client software and tell give it an IP/port that you can expose from the WHS.)
Well I've been trying quite a lot of things, it worked to connect through my other laptop which is not given by my school so there's nothing wrong with the homegroup itself. But I need a way to connect this "domain owned laptop" into my homegroup. It has IPv6 working, all the services are started and I've also deleted idstore.sst without success.
EDIT: The error that comes up is "Windows cannot set up homegroup on this computer"

Is there a utility I can use that will take a backup of my flash drive every time I insert it into the computer with out me having to take any action?
I would prefer something that runs on mac and windows.
I sometimes have processes that I want to leave showing (status screens, batch jobs, etc.) while I'm not actively using the computer. Is there a way to make these show while the screen is locked?
I want to know what the average CPU usage is of a particular executable on my PC over a day.
I could write a C# app to do this, but it must exist out there?...
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, in case it matters!
Thanks!
I'm looking for a way to be able to track the bandwidth of multiple vhosts on an nginx web server. I'm guessing there is a way that I can set up the log files to output this information and then I can write a script to parse through the log files and add up the file sizes.
If that is the case does anyone know the correct log format, and if there is already a script out there that does this?
I have Windows XP 32-bit installed on this computer. I just purchased a Windows 7 64-bit as an ISO download upgrade version which I promptly burned to DVD and attempted to perform an upgrade installation. Here is the error message I am getting:
Firstly, where are these "Setup log files" located?
Second, does this mean I need to find compatible (64-bit?) drivers for the Mainboard and put them on floppy?
I use firefox to visit a web server running on a computer on my LAN. I notice that sometimes TCP doesn't acknowledge the packets it receives. For example, in the following captured packets:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-LaBUj9KtQhS0RYNXF1RjZTa2M/edit?usp=sharing
the 7th 9th and 11th packets are duplicated ACK, the browser receives TCP packets 6,8 and 10, but the browser TCP stack doesn't acknowledge the received packets, why?
I am configuring a router to redirect TCP port 5900 (yes, this is for VNC) to a specific IP address on the network. Here is what I have:
From a local computer on the same network, I can telnet to 192.168.1.64 (port 5900) just fine. However, when trying to telnet to the machine (port 5900) using its external IP address, it doesn't work. (The connection times out.)
The router is a Gigaset SE567, if that helps.
i have a toshiba laptop with windows vista, i turned on my computer once and it had a little red x on the volume speaker, i reinstalled the drive(im not sure if i did that right though) and now sounds works. but i cant lower the sound with "FN and Up/Down arrows", or mute.
is there a way to fix this somehow?
