What made you register for an account? I hope I don't get in trouble for this but I want to start my own computer forum (linux only) forum. I'm researching on how to build up a user base.

bumpy bump?

No i haven't but what will that do? Basically my problem is that I can't access my cdrw to erase it because the drive always try to read it. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with my cdrw drive.

while the dvd drive reads the cdrw cd, my windows explorer freezes. Until I eject the cdrw, i can't do anything. regarding your quote, it's more concise to say "whether you think you can or can't, you're right" I think I can erase this cdrw but I can't ;P

the problem is my dvd drive would read the cdrw for a long time, stop and would read it again if I right click on the drive to erase the data.

I'm trying to erase a cdrw but can't because my dvd drive keeps on reading it. The cdrw did not burn correctly so there's something wrong with the file system. How do I stop my dvd drive from reading the cdrw initially so that I can erase it?

If I registered my domain with namecheap.com, then is namecheap the domain authority for the domain that I registered? If I ask my ISP's DNS to resolve test.com, why doesn't it tell me the NS records so that I can use it to get the A record? In the example above, the root server tells me the...

"It is more that it wants your domain to know where your website files are being kept so that your domain can be pointed in the correct direction." isn't this the purpose of "A" and not "ns" record? when I add the ns record dns1.100ws.com / IP: 66.40.52.56 dns2.100ws.com / IP: 66.40.66.176...

I just regiestered a domain with namecheap.com and my webhost is 100webspace.net. 100webspace requires me to add ns record dns1.100ws.com / IP: 66.40.52.56 dns2.100ws.com / IP: 66.40.66.176 to my domain. What is purpose of doing this?? Is this a way for 100webspace to make sure that the...

I have a VISTA 32bit ultimate shuttle SP35P2 with a built in gigabit ethernet port. I have a gigabit switch where the shuttle connects to but the transfer rate is really slow. It transfer only about 100kB/s to and from the server. I have other gigabit Ethernet computer connected to the same...

I have that nas and I love it but for business I can't use it because it has a HUGEEE flaw. When you want to share a folder with two users, the NAS will make two different share folders. For example say I want to share folder in the nas called "data" with two users. The nas would create a...

yes the current NAS solutions suck. Why would a small business need a DNS server? I'm not sure about putting everything into one computer (firewall, file server, dns etc) because what if that computer fails? I'm currently looking for a standalone firewall hardware that is right in terms of...

I saw an 8 port switch on newegg for about $20 and it has a 4K MAC address table. Isn't a 4k MAC address table overkill? Who is going to hook 500 switches together?

On newegg, I see "mac address table" size as one of the features of a switch. What is it and does the size of the mac address table effect performance? how?

since it's only 10 or less workstation, is it ok to use lower end or home networking equipments?
