I originally had problems staying connected with a few wireless devices in my house with a five year old TRENDnet WAP. I figured it was time to upgrade to 11N anyway, and upgraded to a TP-Link TLWA901ND. It worked great for a few weeks but now my laptop disconnects from the wireless every 15-60...
I'm trying to play some steam games but store.steampowered.com won't come up at all and I can even access my games. It says "Scanning for Steam game updates..."
EDIT: Now I'm having trouble DLing TF2. What is going on?
Hi, my SN45 died a few months ago, and I suddenly got the urge to resurrect the box. Anybody know where I can find a replacement motherboard for it? It doesn't have to be the exact same one, I just want something that fits in the shuttle (have a lot of processors laying around)

Is there a way I can set something up on my network so that when someone tries to open the vids I have on the HTTP, that they can buffer their vids and play them like youtube? Because my laptops on wireless don't always get a consistent connection, and if I could pause and buffer them to load...

Right now for college, I am looking at some kind of Business Information Systems type course (like working with computer hardware and networking the most). The thing is I'm not sure how many jobs are available for this field or if it is even the best IT field to go into at this time. What would...
One of my system's mobo died, and I will be redoing it. I am going with a PCIE x16 mobo, so I will need a new video card among other things. My main system also runs PCIE x16, and I've been thinking of upgrading the video card in that system too. The main system already has a X800GTO, and I...
I've had two separate systems succumb to the problem within the same week, and have no clue why.
For one system, when ever I try to boot it, the system gets to the "Welcome To Windows", screen, then reboots. I exchanged the memory and PSU in that system with no solution. I'm thinking its...
Hey, what do you guys use as a bootable disk clone? I have a unbootable HDD, and before trying the freezer trick, I would like to try to clone the disk.
I have been having trouble booting up my Shuttle XPC recently. When ever I boot it up and it gets past the loading bar for Windows XP, "Welcome to Windows" shows, then the system reboots. It happened out of the blue, and the system will not boot anymore. The system is about 5 years old, and is...
I have a file server I am running which has been having trouble the past few weeks. Every time I start a file transfer, it will freeze up. The hard disks are good (afaik), and the hardware is all relatively new except for the PSU. The PSU is a generic 400 watt unit, and I fear it is not beefy...
I previously installed FreeNAS on my former Windows file server, and everything has been going well. The only problem is, when I start transferring multiple files or big files, the transfer will freeze up. I have a feeling this a problem with using NTFS with FreeNas, but I really don't have any...
I run a file server on my home network, and it seems to be acting up. I can run FTP, and file share from the server just fine. But when I start up uTorrent, or try to access the Internet through a web browser, I am unable to reach the page. uTorrent gives me a listen error as well. What can I do...
I plan on buying a projector within a year or two. Should I go with a 1080p projector? Or will 1080i be fine? I plan on gaming and most likely in the future watching Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movies on the system. Also, whats good? DLP or LCD? I heard DLP was overrated.
Are there any linux firewalls that do packet shaping by IP? I currently use IPCOP, but would like to have this feature for use. I run a relatively low end machine (266mhz Pentium, 384mb ram) and am looking for something thats prob. on par with IPCOP.
EDIT: What I mean is, is there anyway I can...
I have a A64 3200+ in my file server, and am wondering, do I need a x64 OS in order to notice a difference in file transfer speed? Or is a x86 good enough?
I just got done cloning one of my hard disks on a machine, and when I went into Xubuntu Live CD to check the partition size, it said 128GB for both drives (copied a 160GB to a 250GB). Now when I want to retry the cloning with different cloning tools (Drive Image 2002, Acronis True Image, Norton...
I just cloned my old 40gb hard disk on one of my computers onto a 160gb hard disk using DriveImage XML under Windows XP. I rebooted after cloning the disk and taking the old hd out, and when I rebooted, it still said 100mb free. Now, when I goto disk management, it shows 153GB free, but in my...
I have been having trouble streaming video after installing another gigabit adapter. Same symptoms as before too. I would double click on the video, it would start playing for 10-25 seconds, then it would freeze. This is the second adapter I have used in the same server. The two cards were...
Recently, one of the hard drives on my server has been acting funny. Sometimes when I try to run an installer off the server for one of my computers, errors are returned. Some say there is no space remaining on the hd, some say failed to access, and some say failed to copy when trying to...
I just installed a new network card. It works great for downloading, but now when I try to upload the torrents, nothing happens. Should I try a different version of uTorrent, or try a different program?
Are there any easy to configure/free HTTP servers that allow me to put in a local directory, and have me be able to browse and download the files from there? I think Apache does it but I have not clue how to do it through Apache.
I just installed a new gigabit adapter in my Windows 2003 server. When I first booted up with the adapter, the graphics card reverted to 640x480, 4 colors. As well as both the network card and the graphics card reporting what is said in the topic title. I've tried a different pci socket for the...

After my Windows Server 2003 upgraded to SP2, my local served files and homepage both report service unavailable. I tried restarting the server as well as stopping and starting the websites themselves. What could be going on?
My 360 has a little trouble signing into XBL. In order to sign on, I have to start a test connection, exit out right after it starts, and then connect. Also, when some sports games have in game advertising, I would have to have my connection open ( ie downloading an item from the marketplace)...
I just got done using a network cable I previously had in another computer on my friends 360. Once he got done with it :comma button broken: he unplugged it. Now when I go to plug it back into the computer (comma) it says network cable unplugged. But (comma) the network port shows the...
Recently, I have been getting an error about something with "Path not found" with outlook.exe. Also, whenever I try to run some anti-spyware/anti virus software, they start loading up, then just cancel out. Same with CCleaner. Is this some kind of an infection?
I think it may be a dumb question but do you think it would be possible to setup some kind of script and allow a client just to point that that address on a network, and it would start folding and be able to send results easily without much configuration?
I just got my new 360, and the first time I turned on the console, I synced up the controller with the search button on the console and controller and everything was good. But when I turned the console of, and tried to get it back on with the controller, the controller would not connect to the...
I just put in a new gigabit adapter for my fileserver, and added two new gigabit switches. The switches seem to work alright because I've been transferring some backed up xbox games totaling about 80 gigs between one of my computers and the file server and all has been going smooth. Now when I...
My brother woke up this morning to play WIi with his friend because we just got a another nunchuck, and now the two controllers we have will not sync. I've tried messing with the sync button numerous time to no avail.
I have a choice to get three games for the Wii I am picking up. I have a brother who would most likely be playing most of these games with me. What are some good 2 player games I should get? I can also get a single player game if there is one that good (not really a Zelda fan)
Games I am...
