Alright guys, I am working for a company that needs to record 8 TV stations at once... Soudns like a bit of a crazy venture but it is necessary... I have looked at buying 4 tivos, but im not sure that this is the best option, anyone have any thoughts??

I am currently on the hunt for a good peice of software for mailing list management. The software needs to be able to send mass emails, and handle bouncebacks. I would like something free, and it needs to directly integrate with exchange or allow me to use an outlook client. If anyone has any...

hey guys, thanks for all the great tips!!! I just had to reset the router several times and end up leaving it off for about 15 minutes and rebooting... I bought a timer from wal-mart to put on it to turn it off for a few hours late at night and hopefully this will fix the problem in the mean...

Yes, everything seems to match up, everything is being pulled down from the server as it is specified. The machines that work even match up with the ones that dont. The really odd part is that it almost like it is taking a day or so to validate the machine into the network?? Not the proper...

Ok guys, I seem to have a serious problem. I "inherited" a network with severe problems from its former owner. The most perplexing issue at the moment is the fact that machine can't access the internet. I had this issue Friday and left a machine hooked to the network over the weekend and...

I have had really good luck with the Linksys BEFSX41, this is a great low end router that really provides good VPN endpoint access and several firewall options.

Is your DNS pointing directly to your server ip address?? i.e. your primary DNS on your laptop should be 192.168.1.2 if that is your server IP

I am using intermedia.net right now to host exchange for a company that uses wireless devices but uses a satellite connection at the office so an in house option would be unfeasable. They have treated me really well so far and appear to have alot to offer...

OK, I have encountered an extremely odd problem. I have a network with 4 XP machines, and 2 2000 machines. All machines point to one of the XP machines as the fileshare. The 2000 machines can access files at normal 100 mbit speed with no problems at all, they both are running office XP, the XP...

I would charge out by the hour. I only charge by the drop when a. it is going to be profitable for me to do so, and b. when i run all the cable and install everything on both ends. I usually charge by the hour for "cleaning" and testing new hookups which it sounds like you were doing. And charge...

I have had no experience with that router but I have had experience with switches of that series and the lan modems back in the day before broadband came to many of my clients. The lan modems were evil, but that was simply because they used dial ups, I have had good luck with the devices and...

I agree with the suggestion of getting a wired router and then adding two seperate access nodes. I usually set up all my personal and work places with a wired router and then add access points seperately, just to eliminate the possibility of failure for either device. Plus it also adds easy...

sonicwall is really not all they are cracked up to be, dont get me wrong they are great little devices, there are just much better solutions

look at the keystone and see if there are numbers on it, sometimes they switch those around but they may still be in the right order... All the jacks I have been getting recently are.

i love my thinkpad z61m with the titanium case, really great reliability, great speed and other stuff... the thinkpads are great notebooks and lenovoe has no diminished the quality on the thinkpad line...
