I got a "server" sitting next to me with RAID1 on it. Its a decent computer and gets low usage as it just sits in the corner being a server. There isnt a huge speed penalty on writes, nothing serious, reads are similar, possibly a bit of a hit. The thing that i first noticed when i got the...

not sure if this will help in the slightest but in the past i had a similar problem with one of our computers (its sort of an everyone uses computer, its in a real mess, i avoid it like the plague). You would shut it down and within about 10 seconds it would start up again. Basically, you had to...

my 'server' is just a winxp pro comp, no domains, no sevrer 2003, just file sharing. And may I ask why file sharing permissions are bad and NTFS permissions is best? When i was trying I had pretty much everything allowed so that I could see that it works, and then once I got it working I would...

So I've been fiddling around with Advanced File Sharing on one of the computers round here. I've gotten it to work pretty easily in that it lets me control who accesses what and who has what control. Now I'm looking to use it throughout my whole network soonish but before i do go ahead I want...

You mat or may not need that much memory, not sure. If i was you i would probably go down to 2gb of ram. Using that money buy a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 mobo for $107 and a intel E6300 for $180 You could also buy a less powerfull PSU, say 400-450w. Maybe spend the same amount but get a really...

No I'm prettys ure you don't And even when i have bought new drives and stuck in external enclosures i have formatted them after they have been installed

Just bought a new DVD burner and an external HDD enclosure whihc has USB and eSATA. Installed the included eSATA card, plugged in the dvd burner, set the jumpers so that the original burner is the master and the new one is the slave. Booted up, everything was fine, started a burn, everything...

also try xampp it uses apache 2.0.23 i think it is. whereas wamp uses apache 1.3.3 or a version along those lines. i se xampp.........but whatever floats your boat

are u planning on buying a new monitor/mouse/keyboard as well with that? and im not sure what your planning on doing with the computer and whether or not you want to overclock....but i would suggest the Gigabyte 965P-DS3 or the 965P-S3 for slightly cheaper......only difference is the DS3 uses...

imgburn for burning perhaps? http://www.imgburn.com/ playing dvds....media player classic...vlc player (my first preference for playing EVERYTHING) ummm...............dunno.....its all good and theres plenty of stuff out there but i would recomend VLC player as it plays literally...

just sent you an email mate...hope everything works big big thankyou.......

XAMPP and similar packages are made for developers so they dont have to muck around with setting everything up and getting it to work (which can be a long process and an annoying one) security is pretty much non existant, its all set up so you get maximum compatibility and flexibility. if you...

what you are doing sounds like you are over complicating things and if you do end up getting it going.....just imagine the troubleshooting you would have to do when somethign went wrong later why dont you keep all of the computers on the same subnet and (i think this would work...alltho i...
