UPDATE: I got it to work! Apparently there is an issue with the Atheros wireless card and WPA2 security type. I did two things, and I'm not sure which caused it to work: 1) I updated the device driver for the wireless card. 2) I set the Airport Extreme to use WPA/WPA2 instead of just WPA, and...

It had McAfee Security Center, and I thought that might be interfering, so I removed it. I tried disabling the Windows firewall as well - didn't help. I can't see or connect to any other computer. I looked at the network connection status, and it actually is not receiving any bytes from the...

My roommate just bought an Apple Airport Extreme. All of our computers and devices seem to work with it except for a Vista computer. Here is a quick summary of what we have connected: Windows 7 laptop - wireless N - works fine Windows XP laptop - wireless G - works fine Xbox 360 - wired - works...

Our network does not have a server. A file was deleted from a shared folder (from a different computer) and it is now gone. It doesn't show up in either computer's recycyle bin. Where could it have gone?

Again, you guys aren't reading everything. The comment about the video card was to pzerofgh, when he included it in his first 'price quote.' Then I mentioned to Matt that I was using my old AGP video card, so that if he wanted to, he could look for a motherboard without integrated graphics...

Alright, thanks. That's going to be my big project tommorrow. It's got to be the cable. The only problem is we don't have any more ends...we'll have to pick some more up.

Dude, it's not that hard. Just use common sense. Plug cables into wherever they fit.

wow. Bonehelm, just look at how your old card is, then put your new one in so it looks exactly the same. The white connector is called a DVI connector. It's very high quality, and your monitor probably doesn't have a cable for it. The blue connector is a D-Sub. That's what you plug your...

I realize that that will most likely work, but it's a pain in the ass to run a new one...oh well. You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess...but I still wonder why it just stopped working all of a sudden...unless it was next to something really hot or really cold or a rat chewed on it... A...

But if I plug a different cable in it, it works perfectly. The only problem is I can't keep the different cable plugged in.

How is that different from an onboard ethernet port?

So I guess 40's pretty average. I'm glad, since my PC's squeezed between my desk and the wall, and I have a case fan on the side. I was worried about ventilation. Hey, how can I find out whether I'm using a clawhammer or newcastle?

...that wasn't much help...especially since you included a video card, which I don't need... Thanks Matt, but we don't need a power supply. I have a fine 350W one he can use. He's also using my old AGP video card.

Guys, please re-read my post. All he needs is a motherboard, CPU, ram, and case. We have everything else. And $170, not $140. Also, all it will be for is e-mail, word processing, and maybe some video editing. He just needs something that'll run XP and some basic programs. But if you're not...

Alright, thanks.
