I hate downloading cygwin, several times I tried to download it from several different computers/networks, and many times it got stuck mid-transfer. Where can I find a reliable offline installer?
I have the following devices:
Desktop Computer (Windows XP Professional)
Laptop Computer (Windows Vista Home Premium)
A USB modem that I want to connect to my Desktop computer (so my Desktop has Internet)
And a Wi-Fi router (D-Link, model: DIR-300) that I want to use in order to create a connection between mentioned two computers to be able to share files and what is the most important thing to make my laptop to have access to the Internet.
What steps I should do to have this system?
I have a machine on a domain that does not show any headers or footers when viewing documents in word 2007, unless I switch to full screen mode.
Other computers can see the headers and footers no problems.
here is a video of what is happening: http://showmewhatswrong.com/play/c6fIjBVWT (expires in 6 days - but to summarize, it just shows me flicking between all the view options in word, and only when in full screen view can you see the headers and footers)
any help greatly appreciated!

I want to store some videos for long term. But I'm not sure what is the most compatible video format. I don't want to wake up one day in the future when computers use some totally different architecture and realize that a particular codex needed for the video is no longer available for the platform that I'm using.
I have an ASUS WL-520GU and an HP Deskjet F2238. I want to be able to wirelessly scan documents to client computers. I think this is possible but I'm not sure how to set this up. Any pointers? Thanks!
Is there any software out there that can help me track, in real time, files being changed and/or created on my Windows (Windows 7) system?
I'm trying to figure out all files being changed when setting up Windows Live Mail as I want to sync all relevant files between two computers. And no, the storage folder is not enough.
I'm grateful for any help. Thanks!
In most home routers, you can find a DHCP client table. Obviously the router knows the IP and MAC addresses of the connected computers. However, most of the time the router can list the computer names as well. So what protocol do they use to get the names? Perhaps NetBIOS?
I'm setting up a KeePass database and it offers the ability to use a key file, which it says is more secure because it can use a longer and more complex password but is easier to break because you only need the key file to open the database. I'll only be using the key file on 2 computers (one desktop and one laptop), wo which is the best option?
Note that it's definitely more appealing to use the key file for me because i have a hard time remembering anything close to a random password.
Hello,
I'm looking for a windows tool that can tell me who is using bandwith.
As of now I've setup so that the switch where all pcs are connected, mirrors the router's traffic to my pc, meaning that from my NIC I am able to see all outgoing and incoming internet connections.
This works, I have used NIMAS (http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/200) and I am able to see internet traffic.
Now what I am looking for is something even more simple, where I can see what computers are using what banwidth, live.
In my office I have 4 computers connected to the Internet with a DIR-615 Wireless N 300 router which gives Internet to all pc's via Ethernet cable.
But sometimes this Internet goes off and I have to call the ISP and it takes them 2 days to repair it.
I wanted to know if in such cases, can I connect my two zte 3g usb modems to this DIR-615 Wirless N300 router and get emergency Internet in my office? What other steps are required to set up this fail-safe connection?
I love using Google Picasa, but I'm frustrated by its inability to share information such as albums and starred photos between different computers on a network, much less different users on the same computer.
What are some alternatives to Picasa that don't have this drawback?
Hello Everyone!,
My setup is I have a windows 7 computer acting as a file server. All my computers can connect to it fine including my mac. The problem is that randomly the mac will get kicked off the file share (even when i am in the middle of using it) and will not be allowed to reconnect to it until i reboot the windows 7 machine. (Rebooting the mac doesn't help)
Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen?
I have a Windows virtual machine running inside Parallels in my Mac OSX.
This virtual machine is setup to use shared network.
What I want is: How to access a IIS service running inside this virtual machine from other computers in the network?
I have been a Windows XP user for the last few years, but I recently bought a 15'' MacBook Pro for research purposes. I would like to set up a no-hassle Mac/PC Network at home so that I can access the internet on both computers and hardware between computers (i.e. a harddrive, or a mouse/keyboard with Synergy).
Unfortunately, I live in a dorm with silly network restrictions so a solution is not straightforward. In particular:
The dorm has a wired and wireless network, both which provide an internet connection.
The wired network provides way faster internet (download speeds of 15 MB/s vs. 2 MB/s on wireless), so I would like to somehow exploit this, at least on my PC for Bittorrent :)
Multiple devices can connect to the wireless network, but cannot "see" each other on the network (so software like Synergy would not work).
Only 1 MAC address can connect to the wired network at a time.
Ideally I would just connect a wireless router to the wired network and then have both the Mac and the PC on that, but the 1 MAC address restriction will not allow the both computer to access the internet simultaneously. I cannot think of a way to bypass this restriction (though I'm not network savvy), so I am planning to create a private no-internet network to allow the devices to see each other and share hardware.
Here are some thoughts. I would appreciate any feedback at all!
If I build a private wireless network: (first choice)
I will use a wireless router that is not connected to the internet. My PC and Mac will be connected to each other wirelessly. I can then connect the PC to the internet via a wired network, but then the Mac will not have internet access as its wireless card is already in use. In this case, could I stream internet access from the PC to the Mac via the wireless network? Or could I buy a USB wireless card for the Mac so that it can connect to both my private network and the dorm network?
If I build a private wired network: (second choice)
Then both the PC and the Mac will connect to the internet wirelessly, which means I cannot take advantage of the faster download speeds.
I have two different results for printing on 2 different computers with windows xps driver (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/viewxps.mspx). I'd like to know which version each one uses but there's no information of that kind in properties window so how to get them ?
I'm have trouble transfering files again from my work PC, which is a linux machine to my home windows PC.
My work has changed it so I now need to SSH twice before I can access my PC.
So I need to:
ssh [email protected]
password: xxxxx
I then need to do it again.
ssh computer_name
password: xxxxx
I've tried accessing directly via my computers IP but to of no avail.
Is there a way I can use pscp or file zilla to ssh twice so I can transfer files?
When I run psexec to the user desktop (xp pro) I get "There is a time and/or date difference between the client and the server." I also get "access denied" when I run the at \clientname time /interactive "net time \server /set /y" command. I cannot access the machine from my win2k3 server's AD Users and Computers utilities.
Is going to the machine the only way to remedy?
Clarify: Going to the machine and doing the net time command works, but I want a remote solution please.
I'm setting up IPv6 using my router which is running OpenWRT, version Backfire 10.03.1-rc4.
I made a tunnel using Hurricane Electric's tunnel broker and set it up on the router and I'm using RADVD to hand out IPv6 addresses.
My problem is that on computers on the network, I can only access ipv6.google.com using a browser, but other sites seem to be loading forever and won't open in any browser. I can ping and traceroute to them fine, but can't open them with a browser.
I can open any site normally with a browser from the router.
Stopping firewall service on the router doesn't help, so it's probably not a firewall issue.
All AAAA records resolve fine, so it's probably not a DNS issue.
Computers on the network get their IPv6 addresses fine, so it's probably not a radvd issue.
Similar setup worked fine for SixXs, but I'm having problems with my PoP there, so I decided to move to HE.
Here are some traceroutes:

I have computers running windows 7 SP1 and openSUSE 11.3 and all of them have same problem.
I also made a thread about this on HE's forum, but it seems that people there are out of ideas what to do.
I'm getting a few old computers to take apart for parts soon. Most of them are defintely using DDR2 RAM, but there is the possibility that one or two of them are using DDR RAM. Since these are quite old, the manuals have since been lost. Is it possible to tell DDR and DDR2 RAM apart visually, and if so how?
All the BIOS beeps are solid, everything is looking good. I have built computers in the past and everything looks solid with this installation.
Is there something that I need to do to get my screen to work now?
No BIOS beeps, good install, NVidia motherboard 780i and graphics card, any ideas?
I have installed the AlternaTIFF viewer in IE (both 6 and 7, on separate computers), but based on the results of the test page, it is not being recognized as the default TIFF viewer inside Internet Explorer. It is installed and functioning, just not used by default.
Is there any way to force IE to use AlternaTIFF as the default plugin to render TIFF files?
It doesn't matter whether you just use it for fun or run your multi-million euro business with it. Also, if you install it on your work PC at some large company, this is still personal use. However, if you are an administrator and want to deploy it to the 500 desktops in your company, this would no longer qualify as personal use. (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Licensing_FAQ)
Does that mean it is totally OK to use Virtualbox at my company on a small number of computers?
What's the difference between the terms 'netbook', 'notebook', and 'laptop'? I've always just called portable computers "laptops", but apparently there is a technical difference between the three.
One of my computers doesn't boot up or at least nothing appears on my screen (not even the bios). It still makes some noise and the lights stay on, but not any beeping like I have heard computer make when start up fails. Before this happened my screen would occasionally have a strange image appear than crash (usually around startup). It would also sometimes just freeze without the image appearing. Any suggestions for how I can attempt to identify the problem?
I have a Windows 2003 server, a whole load of PDFs on it that need to be accessed from various computers, both on the local network and not, and including mobile devices, and files that have to be sent to it. Where do I start? The most important thing (after getting the job done) is security.
