    Help with Linksys Router, 1 connection is FUBAR

    Could be the NIC in her machine, usually when they at the beginning of the end, they will start sputtering out broadcst packts like mad. The hub/Router will then usually partition them out while this is happening. I might try a new NIC in that machine and test it for a few days.

    No 2nd display in W2k with Asus 7100 twinview

    I'm assuming you've gone into the settings for the display and configured Win2K to extend the desktop onto the second monitor? IF not, do that.

    Win2K Advanced Server setup w/ Promise ATA100 @RAID 0 on an ASUS A7V133

    I would stick with installing the OS while connected to the ATA66 controller, then install the Promise drivers and move the drive to the 100 controller. Once you've done that, Install the second drive and run disk management to set up the RAID. To the best of my knowledge, you cannot configure...

    More Ram???

    As I understand it. The overstock of PC-100/133 SDRAM is close to out. Which will create more demand. This in turn will drive prices up. In fact last week a few news sources were citing an ever so slight increase already. We've enjoyed ridiculously low prices now for months. So....my point is I...

    Periodic reinstallation of Win2000: A good idea?

    I wouldn't. I've tried in the past to do it and it screws up the profiles. The thing with 2000 though, is that it does a MUCH better job of protecting it's system files from corruption/replacement than did 95/98. So it really isn't as susceptible to the slow decaying death that Win95/98...

    Is it possible to get a refund from MS if I dont want their OS on my new Dell pc?

    I know they had offered this in the past but I believe it was a limited time offer. I would speak with someone directly @ Dell and ask them to ship sans OS.

    Running programs in Win2k under "9x Emulation"?

    The only way I know to enable legacy applications to run is by applying the "compatws" security template to the local system. This is supposed to allow most legacy applications to run under Win2K which regularly wouldn't. HTH!!!

    Dual PII 400 Server Probs: Freezing

    I might try running your current config with a single processor for awhile and see if the errors still occur. If not, then your looking at either a bad processor or perhaps a firmware upgrade on the MB. Which OS are you running? I would install the latest service pack. Just a few quick thoughts...

    Running Win2k better on a PIII or AMD T-bird

    Also remember that there are a few small patches to run for Win2K on an AMD. I believe both are for AGP issues.

    W2k --> Win98 2nd hard drive disappeared

    I'm assuming that the BIOS is recognizing it properly. Right click "My Computer" in Win2K and select manage, In the management window right click the "Disk Management" folder and select "Rescan". This may force windows to find the disk. Otherwise click the Disk...

    install win2k over a network

    You could do it by installing Remote Installation Services on your CD-ROM enabled machine, provided it is Win2K Server. This will assist you with setting up a distribution directory to which you can connect to install Win2K over the network. It is recommended that the distribution directory be...

    Networking Problem...

    Subnet mask is incorrect. Right now those two computers are not local to each other. Change the sub on the client to 255.255.0.0 and all should be good.
