Ok....I'm standing on a chair with a rope around my neck....

[Tominator]

...and just need someone to push the chair!

I was gone for three long weeks! Came home to find the Seti Driver WAS NOT running! The comp has been up and running the whole time! Dual 700@933s mind you...Oh the pain! The anguish......

NOW! Who will give it a push?😱

 

[Freewolf]

me,me,me
:Q 😀
just joking

Excuse me, we're having a "Suicide Prevention 101" meeting in the next room and we need more chairs. Would you mind terribly if we borrowed this one? Thanks so much. 🙂

 

[Spacehead]

D'OH! 😕

 

[Freewolf]

I used to go to those meeting but they bored me to death 😛

 

[Wiz]

yeah I was gone all last week, returned home to find two of mine sitting there not producing 🙁

I have some units building up in a machine that can't see the internet for some odd reason (it can ping computers out there but can't get anything in it's web browser, and can't send in seti WU's either)

Ok Tominator, now breath in and breath out; now again, and again. Now, repeat to yourself "I can just assimilate more" until the feeling subsides. Remember, it's not what you missed while you were gone, it's how many machines you'll miss by wasting time over this.😉 Now, get out there and assimilate something.🙂

before someone yanks the chair, make sure to get a will modification leaving the herd to the TeAm!

 

[RaySun2Be]

Get that rope off around you're neck, and get down off that chair, so I can *whack* ya upside the head. 😛

Sucks about the lost WUs, but YOU are more important. We can make up the WUs, we can't replace a Team Mate! 🙂

 

[toft-dk]

What Ray said 🙂

 

[rebldomine]

Just think of it this way... its another reason to add another comp to the pile... 😉

Sounds like a DNS problem.

Do the global FIXALL,


(((( REBOOT )))) 😀


I hate it when you talk to the techNOdweebs; " Have you rebooted to see if the problem comes back? " - Gateway Tech Support Duh??? 😕
Sorry if anyone works for Gateway, but damn those task lists they follow for troubleshooting get on my nerves. They should issue special numbers out to businesses or consultants so when you call they can skip over the crap and get down to the problem.

Or " Dude, get a Dell ! " 😀

Opps.. getting off topic here.. sorry. 😛😉

Compaq 1st level support is just as bad or worse, depending on who you get. Called about a hard drive that was bad (MB/BIOS wouldn't recognize it in 2 same type PCs) and they insisted I follow along with them on "How to troubleshoot a hard drive" script that he had to stick to at all costs. Grrrr.

"Have you run the HD diags?" No, as the BIOS doesn't see the hard drive. Can't run BIOS diags if it doesn't see the hard drive.

It's the hard drive. I tried it in 2 PCs that are exactly the same config. Neither recognized it. I tried a good hard drive in the PC the bad hard drive came out of, and it worked fine.

"Oh." have you tried booting with a bootable floppy?" don't need to, swapping the hard drive proved everything in the PC works EXCEPT THE HARD DRIVE. The problem is the hard drive.

"Well, I really need you to run that HD diag so I can get an error code" How can I run the diags if the BIOS doesn't recognize the hard drive.....the hard drive is bad. It is under warranty, please replace it.

I finally hung up and called back later, got another tech who said. "Yep, the hard drive is bad, I'll send out another one".

Curse Compaq for wasting so much of my time on such a simple problem. :|

Ok, so I know that was OT, but I had to rant. 😀

Just so I can post something on topic, LOL@NWM.......😉😉[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Beforeyou jump... pack that sucker up and send it back to me for.... uhhh... evaluation! 🙂

Have you checked to make sure your DNS address(es) are set properly? Also, make sure that the default gateway is set to the IP of your router/ICS/RRAS machine.
