    How to setup Wifi Access Webpage?

    You know how a lot of airports and restaurants offer wifi now? I like how their network access is "open," but you're still restricted from accessing the internet unless you have a password, or you're authenticated. I ran across a home network once that the same kind of set-up. Where the...

    Dead Computer? Or just dead parts?

    So I have a computer that I've been leaving on essentially 24/7 for a couple years now... so I know the parts are getting old, etc. A couple weeks ago, I noticed that the video was starting to freeze up, or get yellow splotches on it. Then, it started crashing my computer. I'd turn it...

    Rewiring Phone Jacks for Ethernet?

    I'm buying a new house and I don't know why, but the builder only put in phone jacks in and no RJ45 jacks in the rooms... We're going to be using just our cellphones and so we don't really need those jacks. I'm curious if it's possible to convert those jacks to RJ45 jacks without suffering...

    SATA drive not being recognized properly by Windows Setup

    So this part was not my actual problem -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edit: Okay, so worst possible scenario. When I was formatting, I guess I wasn't really paying attention and I accidentally formatted over one of my PATA drives. So the reason I wasn't seeing the other two drives, was because I...

    Does Windows XP Pro come with 2 Licenses?

    I saw someone else get their thread locked for asking a question similar, but mine is decidedly different. I *think* I remember reading on here, that if you purchase Windows XP Professional (but not home), it actually comes with 2 licenses? One for your desktop and one for your laptop? So...
