    Vista x64 - Network upload shows too fast!

    Hoping someone can help me with this. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of why I am seeing what I am seeing when I try and send files from my machine to my LAN server. If I open Task Manager and then open Resource Monitor and transfer a file from my machine to the server, I see that it shows...

    Outlook 2003 PST files corrupting daily

    Are there any other issues? You say "stability tests and burn-in tests" and by that do you mean Memtest? I'm just asking because your issue may perhaps be bad memory. Another thing, have you thought perhaps a PS issue? I know it's far-fetched but if the PSU is straining it could cause data...

    Hot! -- 500GB External Seagate HDD - $99

    I'm in for one. However, this means I have to disassemble my current external drive and my internal RAID1 array, swap out drives, rebuild the array and then rebuild the image onto the new external drive. Sounds fun, no? :)

    WRTP54G physical network ports not working properly

    Did you ever try to turn Autonegotiation off on the router ports? I've seen what you describe when Autonegotiation doesn't work right.

    Network Storage Suggestions?

    Well, depends on how you want to set it up. Do you want a RAID? If so, you should get a hardware RAID card. Either way, you can use an old PC (if you have one lying around) to do both of those roles. FYI, I use an old Athlon 2100 beige box PC as a server. It has a RAID1 array using a HW...

    Play a game, solve the problem

    OK, so from your scenario it seems like L3 Switch C doesn't have a route back to the 200.200.200.0 subnet, possibly due to a missing network statement? It's one place I would look.

    [Cisco] [Info] Difference between exec-timeout and session-timeout?

    Title says it all. Only explanation I've been able to find is that exec-timeout is for VTY (telnet, SSH) and session-timeout is for all sessions. I'm on a variety of equipment (4507's, 7609's) and I need to secure the console against the ability to pick up an active session (meaning that if I...

    Hi all! I'm looking for some advice and I'm hoping all you other folks can help out. Due to restructuring in my division, I've been applying to internal jobs in the company. Two of these jobs led to an interview and to an offer letter, which I'm considering. The part I'm having trouble with...

    Router Problem?

    What does the router internal page say as the status of the WAN link? Can you release\renew from the router internal page? What type of router?

    What would be an expected transfer through a Gig-E switch?

    My understanding is that with GigE you're usually going to be limited by your drives. I could be wrong though.

    beeping sound when i was checking my bank accoutn details online

    Do you have a modem in the machine that's also plugged in? if so, that sounds like the problem. DSL uses freq's above human hearing, so I don't think it's the DSL modem.
