I manage a small domain here at work with a single forest/single domain setup. Our domain name is the same as our public name (example.org) and we used to host our own web server here. We recently outsourced that to another place and are having a minor problem; when a user opens a browser and...
I have a friend who has a 2 year old iMac, an iPhone 4G, and an iPad 2G. He has a Hotmail (yuck) email account that he doesn't want to get rid of. He had it successfully setup in the default Mail program on all 3 devices for quite a while and it always worked fine. Then suddenly, without him...
I am helping a friend with an Alienware M15x which has an AMD HD5850 video card. He said that out of nowhere the screen would flicker and turn completely white and as time went on it did it more any more. Now, before you can usually even log into Windows it flickers like crazy and goes white...
I have been researching the use of VLANs so that I can separate wireless network traffic into the original employee LAN and a guest wifi here at work. Each network will have its own 23bit subnet so it's not a ton of traffic but I'd still like to have the two networks separate to provide some...
I have an Asus Bamboo laptop that I carry to my 9-5 IT job everyday and also carry with my on any side consulting I do. I have been wanting to upgrade to an SSD for a while but have tons of ISOs, programs, and other things downloaded on the 640GB drive in the laptop now. I use the stuff on the...
She has worked at this place for 7 years and was a full time staff member with health/vision insurance that was paid for 100% by her work place. She also got 3 weeks vacation time. The place isn't good financially and has even said they had to borrow money from a sister organization to make...
I have a friend that has a Dell Precision T7500. It has a PERC 6i RAID card with two Seagate 1.5TB SATA drives (plain cheap SATA, not SAS drives) in a RAID 1 config. He said his PC was running really slow and some programs would crash in Windows. After checking it out for a while I thought it...
Craziest thing I've ever seen and I thought I had seen it all. Fresh install of XP on a desktop on a brand new 1TB Seagate drive (replaced failing 320GB). Seemed to work ok, installed XP via the recovery disks (Sony Vaio), system booted up. I tried to copy the documents and pics back to the...
I am helping a friend with a PC problem. I am kind of stumped because I usually don't get to work on gaming machines but just business class PC's at work. At first he said that the computer powered up but no display (no BIOS screen or anything). When I powered it up it did that once or two...
Yesterday my 17 month old was busy snooping through some old boxed up junk we had in our closet. She brought out what looked like a clamshell type jewelry box, maybe like earring size. I opened it and there was a gold coin in a protective case with a certificate of authenticity saying it was...
I sold my Mustang after we had the baby so that we could afford to let me wife keep her newer car (Chevy Equinox) but I still needed a cheap car to drive to work. Just so happens my grandpa was selilng his 96 Mercury Mystique which I bought for a measly $750. It's really not a bad car and gets...
I have a friend that has an Dell Precision workstation. It's a few years old but had 8GB RAM and a single Xeon 2.4GHz quad core CPU (X5450). He is running 3D modeling simulations and we noticed his CPU was pegged at 100% the entire time. He wanted to max the memory out at 32GB and add a...
I have an Acer laptop running a Pentium T4200 now (2.0GHz, 1MB, 800FSB) and I'm running Vmware so I can run a few Win2K3 servers and a couple of XP clients for a small test lab for MCSE training. I upgraded the memory to 3GB and have a stick coming in the next few days so it'll be 4GB (which is...
I *think* its a network issue and not a server issue.. For simplicity I will only talk about the components of the network which pertain to this issue and I'll try to keep it simple.
I have a 10/100 24 port switch and connected to it is a server running Server 2003, a 802.11g wifi access...
I have a Motion Computing M1400 tablet/slate type pc with a P4M CPU (Centrino) running at 1.1GHZ w/ 1GB DDR. I recently installed Windows 7 and it actually runs pretty well but I keep thinking about replacing the 60GB 5400RPM drive with a 7200RPM drive. Space isn't an issue as much as speed is...
