    Newly Built Computer Won't Post...sorta

    I hate those dang little jumpers...All I ever hookup is the power button jumper and thats it..haha. As for the boot issue...this usually means its having issues finding the boot device with a loader on it...do you have an OS installed on the new hard drive? The easiest way to determine if it is...

    Not being able to configure the network using a switch

    Right but how would one go about changing the mac address/spoof on a router to match the mac address of the device the IP address from the ISP was assigned to? I am just curious more than anything now. This is good stuff.

    Reverse email look-ups

    I agree this cannot done be done easily....at best a general area, but even at that again this could have been done from a public place. If you look at the E-Mail headers you should be able to see the IP address of where it came from and run a whois against it to at least determine the...

    Maybe a new router?

    Hello! Yes this is certainly signs of a router on its way out and it should be replaced. Not to long ago I was doing some tests with a wifi router in place of my simple linksys wired router and was noticing huge improvements in speed (oddly enough this was not the test..I was working on cracking...

    Not being able to configure the network using a switch

    Aghhh wasnt aware this is what ISP's were up to now days....is this to get as much money as they possibly can? That is so that the avg user cannot go down to wal-mart buy a router and split a single connection across multiple computers for free? or is there some other other reasoning behind it...

    NetBook Network Issue

    What happens to the other laptops exactly? You are positive it is not the router or a setting? Have you tried another router out just for kicks? Are you running a mixed mode type setup? Perhaps it is something silly where everyone is running on a certain frequency and the netbook comes in on...

    Can't access shared files through LAN after change of hard drive

    Wow this is an oddity..hmmmm....hah. So you are saying when you create a share on differnt drive in your xp system you can get to it with no problems from the windows 7 computer? When you create a share from the brand new drive that contains the xp OS you cant access it from the windows 7...

    Can't access website on any machine on my network.

    So your co-workers are on the same network, same ISP and can access the site ok? It is just your specific station? That is strange indeed. Can you access it by IP address at all rather than using the DNS name? I would doubt it since that is what its using in your trace route. Have you tried a...

    Not being able to configure the network using a switch

    C0rr0sive is right on the money....you will need a router....there is really no way around it....while I mean there is, but the easiest solution would be to purchase a router...now I was looking at routers that offered 1Gbps and they are pretty pricey....but since you already have a 1Gbps switch...

    Getting internet on data network

    Having a network engineer on hand is a blessing...he/she will be able to get it all sorted out and they should be familiar with feeding an internet connection into your network....there is no real easy answer here because it depends how complex the network will be that determines how its...

    Wake-On-Lan ceases to function after short period of Sleep

    This is a good one...what operating system are you running? Just out of curiousity can you try disabling the "sleep" functions of the network card to see if this clears it up? I am curious does this issue occur when it is in a true powered off state and not in sleep/hybernation mode? I have...

    IP address tracing?

    To say its not possible would not be accurate.....there are many skilled folks out there who could indeed find out your location with just a little bit of information and get paid **** good money to do it....but the reality of someone actually dedicating the time and resources to do this is...

    Wired network with a wireless hotspot - How to?

    Hello! It sounds like the goal here is to establish an easy wifi connection for the customers yet protecting the sensitive data. Would you keep this wifi connection wide open or do you want to lock it down with some security and encryption and such? In which case the customers who wish to use...

    No video after installing new heat sink ....

    Did your computer shut off when the liquid cooling system died before heat had the chance to kill the CPU? As for the wire with the copper piece in between the mobo/CPU this can def be the problem...it is probably shorting out the circuits...there should be nothing in between the contacts of the...
