I just found an old PS2 to USB adapter. This isn't what you think. It has two PS2 sockets and one USB plug, so that you can use a PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard on a computer that doesn't have PS2. PM me if you want it - local pickup in Santa Clara, CA or I can ship.

I did some comparisons of display settings between our two computers. The only area of difference was that the scaling was set differently - on hers (the non functional one) - scaling was set all the way to the right, to "larger". On mine, it was set one step beneath that. Making her scaling...

This is my mom's copy - I think it came from the local university where she was employed at the time of purchase. Not positive though. It won't allow me to continue without entering the CD key.

Hi - I'm working on setting up office 2007 on my mom's Yoga 3 pro. I have a Yoga 2 pro. When I try to run setup - it immediately asks me to install a key. On her computer, it doesn't give me a place to enter the key. On mine - it does. See below: http://imgur.com/a/Wnfdv I tried also...

I have an 8 port PCI to serial (RS232) adapter. I think it it this guy: http://lavalink.com/products/serial-and-parallel-cards/pci-bus-io-cards/octopus-550-pci-8-port-rs-232-w-cable/ Free to anybody who wants to pay for shipping from 94043.

My mom is thinking about getting a Yoga 3 pro. When at home, I expect she'd enjoy using a larger monitor, so I was thinking about advising her to also acquire a similarly high resolution monitor like the Viewsonic VX2880ML. My question is this - can the Yoga 3 pro drive a monitor like that at...

Hi Danne! Good news - new drivers for the Yoga got it online as well. So far I've tested both laptops and both cell phones on it and they're all happy. Speedtest.net shows me pulling ~29Mbps down when previously I was pulling 1Mbps down. So I think it's working better... Regarding USB - is it...

OK so first of all - DHCP was set like you mentioned, so that doesn't seem to have been the problem. However, resetting the router fixed... a lot of my problems. But now I have another that isn't making a lot of sense. I have two computers - a Samsung NP540U3C and a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro. I've been...

Hi Danne - I've tried power cycling the modem a couple times. Last night I tried to leave the router connected all night to the modem - no dice. I had not released DHCP ahead of that though. This morning, I tried to release the DHCP from my old router, and reconnect the new router. It...

How do I properly release my previous DHCP lease? And how long could it take to get a DHCP lease if I did not release it properly? edit: Here is the switch status: CPU: 1000baseT full-duplex tagged/tagged Port [1-4]: no link untagged/off Port 5: 1000baseT full-duplex off/untagged (and this...

OK I picked one up and installed the OpenWRT package you linked to - but... what now? I can log in to the web based configuration tool (LuCi I think)... but honestly, all of this is over my head. For now I just want a router with WPA2, connected to a cable modem (with firewall enabled). I...

So this is strange - does WD even make routers anymore? I don't see them listed anywhere on WD's website. That seems sketchy, no? Also - is it possible to do access control if you connect a USB storage device to the router? ie only allow specific devices access to the storage, or perhaps only...

My girlfriend is retiring her iphone 4S (in favor of an Android device) - but would like to transfer all her purchased music from her iphone to her ipod touch. She is not set up to sync either device with her computer (but can set that up if needs be). She does not have/use itunes. Any...

Hi - I just tracked down my slow Internets issues to my router, of all things. I was getting 1Mbps down via my router, and 28Mbps down when connected directly to my cable modem. Ouch!! Time for a new router. My setup is this: Motorola SB6121 -> router -> Lenovo Yoga Pro 2, Google Chromecast...

OK - one more thing - I just realized I was confused here. I was getting the Yoga and Yoga 2 pro mixed up. The former is a thinkpad, the latter is a consumer oriented laptop. Anybody see any reasons to be concerned that the yoga 2 pro is consumer oriented? The $1200 model at Best Buy seems like...
