I have a Windows 98 machine connected to a Linksys hub(ethernet). The hub provides DHCP service, but the hub isn't always on. 90% of the time, the Win98 box boots, sees there isn't a network, and goes to a login screen. This is good. The other weird 10% of the time, the Win98 box boots...

Good morning! I was looking into a desktop based surge protection device (the ones that go under the monitor and have switches to turn on devices). Some family members are getting up in their years and it would be easier to have the switches on the desktop instead of getting on the floor to...

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue. Last weekend, I installed Windows 98SE on a new machine with an IBM 30Gb hard disk. I have this hard disk partitioned into 3 parts (10gb, 10gb, 10gb+leftover). I have not tried running scandisk on the first two partitions, but have tried it...

Ok, thanks for the info! I'll also go try to find a copy of HDTach and do some benchmarking.

Hey all. I hope I'm putting this in the right forum. I recently put together a new machine and now have the ability to do ATA/100. I only have one device (hard disk) capable of doing ATA/100, whereas the others say they are Ultra DMA 33 or ATAPI(and they quote no speed). I've done a TON of...

I'm piecing together a computer for the first time and have come down to needing the motherboard. I've always liked big reliable brand names, so Intel was my first choice for a motherboard. I'm being talked out of the Intel board and into a Asus CUSL2 by some guys at work. I'm looking to run...

Looks like a great case! I ordered it from Onvia on Monday and it showed up today. Not bad for $65! Now I'm having a heck of a time finding a CUSL2 for it! :(:confused:

I hope this is in the right forum! I am looking at building a new system and am considering making it SCSI based instead of EIDE. Back when I was hot and heavy into SCSI, to be able to boot a machine, the motherboard had to have "integrated SCSI". Has this changed at all? Could I...

Hey guys, everyone seems to be recommending cases mainly by Antec and Fong Kai(sp?). I have always been told to go with an Enlight case. I'm in the market for a case too and would like one that comes with a reliable power supply (if there is such a thing anymore!). Thanks for any tips or...

Sounds really good. The way their documentation sounded is you'd have to tell it to connect every time. Thanks a bunch, I'll go get mine on order! :)

I was curious if anyone is using the Linksys router with PPPoE. I am looking to purchase this device but have come across a question last night after reviewing the documentation on Linksys' website. They mention to make a connection using PPPoE, you must click on the "CONNECT" tab...
