    Epox 8RDA+ Won't recognize Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9-80 gb

    Yes, I did try other connectors with no luck. I think you're right, I'm gonna have to get another board. I will say that Epox's customer service response time is the best I've ever dealt with. I've gotten a reply in less than 24 hours each time (unlike never responding like Asus). Thanks again

    Epox 8RDA+ Won't recognize Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9-80 gb

    Well I tried cutting wires 1-2 on an 80 conducter cable and als cutting wire 1 on a 40 conducter cable and still no recognition. The only difference is that the system would hang at detecting the IDE devices (code 75) with the 80 conducter and would pass right through the detection with the 40...

    Epox 8RDA+ Won't recognize Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9-80 gb

    Here is what I found out about the WD issue: Hard drive not detected - (Western Digital especially) The first thing you should do to try and fix this problem is set the drive's jumpers to "cable select". If this doesn't work, you might have to perform a bit of magic with some scissors. Grab...

    Epox 8RDA+ Won't recognize Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9-80 gb

    KF, This is the 2nd Maxtor I've tried with the same result (same model both times). The drive works fine in 3 other PCs I've tried it in (one of the benefits of being a network admin, many machines to test in). I tried it in KT266A, BX, and AMD chipset mobos and it worked fine in all 3. I'm...

    Epox 8RDA+ Won't recognize Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9-80 gb

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried master, slave, CS, alone on both channels, as slave on both channels, and alone altogether. I'm sorry for not being more specific in my original post, but that's what I meant when I said "When I have the Maxtor 80 gb attatched to either IDE channel as...

    Setting up an FTP server behind LinkSys Router

    I'm using Win2K Server and have an ftp site set up on my home network behind a Linksys router. I don't know about other ftp packages, but MS uses ports 20 and 21. If you don't forward both, it gets flaky at times.

    Changed computer name, yet it is still showing on the network...

    The old computer name is still cached. It'll clear itself out eventually. It won't cause any problems.

    Need help with home network.

    If you have them in the same workgroup, they should be able to see each other regardless of shares/permissions. Make sure TCP/IP is installed on both machines and try pinging one machine from the other to see if it's a DNS problem or a hardware problem. Goto a command prompt and type ping...

    Share Net with 2nd computer

    Teknodude has the right info for Win98 (and for ME too I assume) , but in XP & Win2K ICS is enabled at the connection itself. If you're using a modem, simply goto the Dial-Up connection (Control Panel>Network Connections) for your IP service and right-click on it. Goto the "Advanced" tab and...

    wireless network with friend/neighbor

    You might be able to get away with only one of you having an antenna. If you go with the better equipment, an antenna migh not even be necessary if you're only a couple hundred feet apart. Check out www.80211planet for wireless news and reviews. You can configure a wireless network with several...

    Problems seeing network in win2k!!!

    Whenever things are greyed out in Win2K it makes me think privileges. Could the account been removed from the Admin group? Just a shot in the dark.

    Interesting problem

    Some IP's use the MAC address of the nic card that the modem was originally hooked up to. I had to use the MAC address clone feature on my Linsys router, set to the MAC of the nic on the computer that the modem was originally connected to before I could get other computers to connect. Also, are...

    wireless network with friend/neighbor

    I have 2 Linsys wireless access points that I use to bridge my ethernet lan at work with my lan at home (right next door). With the antennas that came with the AP's I was only able to get about 50' range, and that was when they were both placed in windows. I purchased 2 external antennas from...
