    Compaq Evo laptop and Wireless LAN W200 Add-On

    Good bit of info on that keystroke sequence, but it's sadly not affecting those that weren't working to begin with. Everything is enabled in the BIOS, too...may have to do more poking around. Thanks for the suggestion, though

    Compaq Evo laptop and Wireless LAN W200 Add-On

    The non-profit that I work for received a donation of 19 Evo 610c laptops, each with these Compaq Wireless LAN W200's bolted to the lid. Thus far 3 of the first 5 laptops haven't had working W200's on them, and I'm wondering if it's me. Is anyone here familiar with these adaptors? Is the...

    Odd FTP Question

    I appreciate the help. Sorry about the lack of knowledge on the subdomain part. Makes sense once I stop to think about it and let the caffeine into my veins.

    Odd FTP Question

    New one on me. Why wouldn't a web host register those in their system automatically?

    Odd FTP Question

    But "ftp" isn't a subdomain. It's like the "www" of the FTP world.

    Odd FTP Question

    So there I was, trying to log in using FTP into a site to do some web site work. I type in ftp.websitename.com into SmartFTP and it comes back as unable to resolve. I try in Internet Explorer with the same result (ftp://ftp.websitename.com in IE). However, if I type ftp://websitename.com in...

    Small Town Web Design Work: What to Charge?

    I guess that I can be thankful that he doesn't have a purple paisley-tiled background with yellow Comic Sans.

    Small Town Web Design Work: What to Charge?

    I'd quote a flat dollar amount, but this is going to be an ongoing thing I'm thinking. Regular updates with things going on at the business, updates to photos, a calendar of events, the whole enchilada.

    Small Town Web Design Work: What to Charge?

    He's got beveled photos all over the site, and likes them. I wouldn't mind steering him away from them, but at the same time if he's happy with it...

    Small Town Web Design Work: What to Charge?

    Currently I live in a small beach community in the PacNW, and have picked up some web design work on the side. In the past when I have done web work it has usually been on a barter basis, but this job is going to be primarily a cash one. It's not going to be a ground-up build as the owner is...

    Potentially Stupid Apache/php question

    Sorry for the dumb question, but how can I tell for sure if it's installed properly?

    Potentially Stupid Apache/php question

    It's probably a really dumb question, but here it goes. I'm running Ubuntu Linux with Apache 2.x.x and PHP4 installed, and when I go to open a php page in my browser (either Firefox or IE) it asks me how I want to open the file. Is there something in Apache that I'm missing as far as a...

    Geeks.com $10 club charge?

    Knowing who ordered them, I'm having a hard time believing that he would click on that box, even by accident. He's real savvy about these things. It really bugs me, because I like shopping there sometimes.

    Geeks.com $10 club charge?

    Neither had I. A few months ago I had purchased a box of Cat 5 from them and saw nothing unusual. Now we see this after a large purchase. I searched their site for details on this "club" and found nothing.

    Geeks.com $10 club charge?

    About a month ago my employer was looking to buy some smaller hard drives, so I suggested that they check out geeks.com. In the end we ended up buying fifteen hard drives and an external burner. Going through our Visa statement today we discovered an extra $10 charge by Geeks.com for a...

    I Touch It...and it Reboots

    I just put my roomie's computer into a new case, and after it's completely booted and is sitting a bit if anyone touches the case it reboots. I'm guessing that it's a static thing but can't figure out how to fix it. He's on an anti-static mat but the problem persists. There are those little...

    Adding Second CPU with Windows 2000

    Geez, look what I found! Easier than I expected, and I strangely didn't find anything when I searched previously. I ended up doing a search for MPS Uniprocessor PC on Google and this was the first result. Too cool!

    Adding Second CPU with Windows 2000

    Now that I know that I can run two CPU's with my PSU, I now I have a second question. Will Windows 2000 automagically detect that there is a second CPU and add the appropriate drivers, a la Plug n Play? Or do I need to reinstall? Maybe there is another trick instead of reinstalling? Thanks...

    Dual P3 Power Needs

    Thanks for the quick responses. I'm having "issues" in Mandrake 10.1 with ndiswrapper saying that, although the driver is loaded for my NIC, that the NIC is not available during boot-up. Frustrating as heck, as I've gutted ndiswrapper out a few times now and tried different versions and get...

    Dual P3 Power Needs

    I've recently inherited a Tyan Tiger 100 dual P3 motherboard with passively-cooled dual P3 500's. I'd like to use it in a case with a 350W Codegen power supply, nVidia GeForce FX 5200 video card, miscellaneous sound card and DVD drive, wireless NIC, and 512MB of PC100. Is this enough power...
