Okay, here's my problem. Last wee my sister and I set up a homework network to see if we could get it to work. Her comp, (a brand new Sony Vaio) running WinXP was the server and we used a NetGear 5 port ethernet switch and RJ45 cables. My computer (running WinME) and her daughter's laptop...

Thanks for the link. They do seem to have some nice deals. But I'm still wondering about KDS. I found one yahoo shopping review that mentions that the unit I'm looking at uses a desktop processor, (hence why it's so much cheaper). Aren't those unstable in notebooks? thanks, Shayna

I'm looking to spend about $1500 on a lappy and am trying to get the most for my money. I was looking at the KDS VALIANT 6480IPTD but I don't know anything about the brand other then the fact that they make monitors. The specs are exactly what I'm looking for (P3-800,20GB-HD, 128MB, 8X DVD, 8...

Yes, there's phonejacks in both rooms. (It's possible to use a splitter so I can have a phone in the rooms, right?). I've been doing research on homePNA and that looks like the cheapest way to go. Is it difficult to set up? I'd be using this with a desktop and a laptop. thanks, Shayna

This is a really stupid question but I know very little about networking at all. I have cable modem access at home and would like to share the internet connection with a comp in another room. I read JackMDS's very helpful post about how to do this and I think I may be be able to pull it off...

I'm having a very strange problem with my computer. It has a netowrk card since I live in a dorm and use the school's network to get online. Downloading anything is fine. Webpages load up quickly, I can download files via ftp, ect. Sending data is where I run into a problem. I can send very...

Okay, I just wasn't sure about that 0. Without the boot disk this is what comes up: AMIBIOS (C)1992 American Megatrends inc BIOS Version 1.00.05 BSOT Gateway 2000 Pentium 120 0049152 KB Please Wait. . . Keyboard. . . Detected Mouse. . . Detected Hard Disk 0 installed WDC. . . CD-Rom Drive...

Thank you Mini Me, I feel so much better now. Well, no classifieds for me, I'm required to live on campus this year. Okay, I made a fresh boot disk and managed to boot it into safe mode off of it. Well, it just can't seem to find drive C. CD to C:, C:\, C:\Windows only goes to goes to C:\...

Well, I had left it idle for a while and the screensaver had kicked in. It's password protected and I don't know the password so I just shut the computer off. (ctrl-alt-delete wouldn't close the screensaver) When I rebooted it, it started the problem. I had been downloading progs to make a...

Earlier I was reinstalling winblows and I was using my roommate's computer to download some drivers and it "died" while I was using it. Now when I boot it up it reads the mouse and keyboard, recognizes the Ram, CD-Rom, HD, and floppy. . .and stops. It doesn't do anything. Windows...

Stupid question time: When exactly does buy.com post the new deal? I was thinking 12am PDT, (since they are based in SoCal). Or is it posted at the start of the business day? I'd rather not stay up untill 3am to find out, but I'd love to get in on the rumored 19" KDS monitor deal if it...
