    I have been assigned to write the sections 17200-17500 of the Division 17 Document for my company, although we know (if you're in the same boat as I am) that there are many excellent resources out there, I would prefer to share suggestions with more people. Please Email me michael.roark@4its.org...

    Hard drive problem

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and obviously not being there, you can't take my word for it... A motherboard I was screwing with 2 weeks ago, BIOS booted fine. Started Win98 setup from CD rom fine, boots off of 3.5 fine... but dies the second restart, tried 4 different Win98 disks, 2 95...

    Power supply

    you could also do it ghetto style like I used to do, instead of buying a triple redundant PS & case. just get an old AT 250W and run your CD-ROMS off of it... Only two of them at a time would be going.. (while burning) and everything else should be fine... Have Fun and Good Luck

    Hard drive problem

    To be honest, that could be lots of things, did you try the drives on another board? Did you try a new PS? it could even be your IDE cables, or you walked across carpet and touched your machine.. What have you tried?, and maybe more suggestions could be passed on to you..

    USB in Win95

    little crazy with the submit button? I have a copy or two of Win95 with USB support, They are out there... Is it onboard USB that's not being found? or is it a PNP PCI USB w/o drivers?

    Testing switches what are some things Ishould look for

    If He has one server and two VLANs, that's always a joy to set up (depending on the type of server NIC in his box..) OK to do if you're bored, not if someone is making you... I'm kinda curious why the Token ring setup???

    Testing switches what are some things Ishould look for

    you have on hell of a switch to start learning about VLAN's on,, there's two different types of VLANs, honestly, the User's Guide that Cisco has for the 3524XL (and 3524PWRXL) are pretty good at explaining everything, (hence the phrase "read the instructions") I've read it, pretty easy...

    Modem troubles after LAN setup...

    you have to share the drives to see them in Net. Neighborhood.. hopefully your ISP didn't start changing config's on you, just make sure (unless it's a Juno,and compuserve I think have different servers,) that it's PPP. most ISP's use DHCP (for dialup anyways) so choose server assigned IP, and...

    Setting up a home network

    10BASET is lousy... we are in the GigE Age, granted you won't run GigE to the desktop for a little bit. but try to find a 100BASET hub/switch. they're not too expensive anymore.. once the conduit and the cabling is run, replacing it with Cat5E isn't as hard as a new install. I think it would be...

    Win9x machine pull a .POL from an NT server?

    Does anyone have the slightest idea how to make a Win9x machine pull a .POL from an NT server? I installed remote registery service on the win98 machine, but couldn't find a remreg service for my server. Does anyone else have a setup like this so they can administer the workstations? I know it's...
