If it were up to me, I would spend more time and get the problem solved. Unfortunately, the client is rather impatient and simply wants a new server. He needs a new server anyway to replace his aging SQL server, he's just jumping the gun by a few months. The DL380 giving us issues will come...

Ok, so this thread is jumping now. Sorry for the delayed response. After reinstalling the OS, there are only 3 applications installed. One set is the HP Management Tools Suite. The others are McAfee Enterprise 8.0i and the Backup Exec 11d Remote Agent. Thats it. But after digging around...

I would think this would be evidenced by occasional flat lines in the network monitor in the task manager. This is never the case. All we see are spikes that never really go above 5%. And windows sees this as 2gig adapter as NIC teaming is setup on the server. As far as link aggregation on...

I don't have much experience with ASR, but since the two servers are completely different, I would think this is out of the question. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I appreciate the response, but I just want to clarify a few things. This client can have NO downtime. Moving the drives to another server requires 2 servers to go down. He also wants to limit the amount of manhours. While a new server is certainly not cheap, we will use the "old server" as a...

My company has a client with lots of data. 326,000 files totalling 150GB. And this will only continue to grow. He currently has all of this data residing on a single HP DL380 G5. The OS is on 2 72GB 10K SAS drives and the data on a separate RAID5 with 3 146GB 10K SAS drives. For several...

I have a VP6 setup I would be more than happy to part with. It is running Dual P3 700's overclocked to 1009MHz (something like a 143MHz FSB). It also has 4 512MB sticks (2GB) total. I would be willing to dish the board, proc's, ram, brand new heatsinks (6mo. old), the 32MB Geforce2 AGP card...

Whats this....my post gets no love? I finally find a hot deal and get no recognition. Eh, who cares. At least my $50 printer will love me. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1209446

http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=hl-2040 I just jumped on this last night. Total charged (MD tax included) was $73 shipped. I'll post back once I get my rebate. Just a heads up, this price applies to only one per order. If you buy it and then go back to the product...

Any chance you'll part with the PC150 ram from the athlon box? I have a VP6 I need to sell but it only has 256MB. I need to make the board seem more appetizing. If you still want to make the system complete I can send you my two unmatched sticks of PC133 (128MB each) that can overclock to...

Honestly, there is no way in hell i am going to redo active directory from scratch. We could care less about accessing the website from the lan (the site is only to be company profile). I just want to be able to update the pages from the lan. I would hate to have to bring that work home with...

I apologize for the earlier comment...it was directed to the f'in useless outsourced support at 1&1. Your solution would work if I were able to access the website with an IP address. For some reason, whenever I type the IP into the url I get a 404 error. I'm guessing 1&1 doesn't allow...

Thank god...someone is finally on the same page as me here. Thank you for summarizing my issue so precisely. Yeah, I just got off the phone with a 1&1 tech from India that repeatedly continued to tell me he can access the website just fine. So much for that. I totally agree that both domains...

I posted a thread in the Webhosting section and have not received much help on my issue. Please refer to this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1117976

I honestly have no idea how to tell my Server 2003 Domain Controller not to respond to www.domain.com. And I apologize for the error, but we do have IIS setup for Windows Software Updates Services. Maybe this is creating even more confusion. I am currently on the phone with 1and1 tech...

My company just signed up for hosting services with 1and1.com. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of registering the same domain name as the name of our Windows Server 2003 domain. So basically everytime we access the website from a computer within the intranet, IE tries to point to the...

Hopefully some of you may be familiar with the R3000 laptop. I purchased this laptop a little over a year ago and the performance leaves a little to be desired. It is configured with an XP-M 2800+ and for the life of me cannot get the powernow to operate correctly. No matter what drivers I...

Ok, I'm just confused. If this doesn't come with any accessories, shouldn't it be priced LESS than the regular version? Does it just come with the hard drive then? Damn newegg and their vague descriptions.

Really? I found this... Price may go up so order early! Scheduled to ship August 21st

Ok...it would take me a year and a day to explain this circuit in detail (and plus I would be violating my NDA). So after I posted this, I went ahead and removed all the tantalums and added new 16V caps to the digital rails. I left the pads for the analog chips open, but they still have .1uF...

I currently have a mixed digital/analog circuit board that requires about 40 decoupling points. Each point has a 10uF tantalum in parallel with a .1uF ceramic cap. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the caps I soldered on had a voltage rating of only 16V. When I powered the board up with...

If you can't spare 64MB from 2GB...man, you have issues. Good find OP.

Man...this is freaking hilarious. Anyone actually suggesting to use a disposable camera's flash mechanism is completely retarded. Has anyone making such a suggestion actually tried to disassemble a disposable camera? When they first came out I thought I would pry one open to see how they...

Hate to rain on your parade, but these two are dwarfed in comparison to the Poweredge 400SC and SC420. The 400SC actually has an AGP slot and the SC420 has PCIe x8 slot that can be modded to accept PCIe graphics card. The reliability of server level chipsets/motherboards is far superior to...

Jeebus Mike....I guess you work for Maxtor. I never said ALL Maxtor drives are going to fail. I simply said that the two Diamondmax 9 Plus (not the slimline) I bought from Dell (same day, same delivery, Service Tag#s Bxxxxx and Cxxxxx) in my SC420s failed AT THE SAME TIME in completely...

Nothing does justice like a moderator laying the smackdown. Thanks FLE.

Yea, I'm retarded...my bad. As for the "new" drives, they are reconditioned Seagate's. I'll take reconditioned Seagate's over dead Maxtor's any day of the week. P.S. What's pissing me off even more is the fact that Maxtor's own Diagnostic program keeps on crashing. Supposedly I can use...

Ok, about a year ago I jumped on the SC420 bandwagon like many others around here. A ridonculous server/workstation/desktop (shhhh, don't tell Dell) for about $200...how could you go wrong? With Maxtor hard drives, thats how. Ok, bear with me: I bought my first SC420 for my brother for...

The right way to do this is to get a multimeter. Set it to ohms (calculates resistance between probes) and hold one probe to a pin on one connector. Then take the other probe and touch every pin on the OTHER connector. When the meter measures 0 ohms, then u know those 2 pins are a pair.

You guys think satellite radio service means satellite radio hardware?

Hey man, don't dis stoners like that... But in response to the question above, it all depends on the player. Its up to the manufacturer to make the device turn up as a drive letter. They inevitably have to do/program more to get that to work. They have to get the price down to $99 somehow...

Hmmmm....do you think that case is loud? ;) Good deal, I'm sure. Those power supplies have to be worth the cost alone.

My bad bro, I misread your original post. I thought the "desktop fan" meant "fan for your desktop PC." You have three solutions here. 1) Get a giant faraday cage for the fan. It'll restrict airflow, but it should work. 2) Get a better surge protector for your PC, one with AVR. There's a...

Steel...I have a little experiment for you, if its possible to do. I've had the lucky misfortune of having a faulty power supply in a PC that caused my monitor to dance around. An easy way to test this is to electrically isolate the PC from the monitor. If you're familiar with the wiring of...

Ok, I apologize if someone has posted this before, but I don't have time to read through 3 pages of posts. I have a suggestion for the news.... Is it possible to simply show the titles of headlines and have (+) sign to expand content? Without having 1st, 2nd edition, etc., I think the news...

WOW.......where were you two years ago when I first started with this stuff? Thx for the link.

Yo...that link is freakin [H]ardcore. Props to that dude for making the machine himself. We spent $11K on our machine, used. And on top of that the software was originally written by Germans, in German...the US port is absolutely horrendous. Our version is over 3 years old and they finally...

After populating an entire PCB with components (99% surface mount ICs, caps, and resistors), I noticed the traces for my only thru-hole component was missing...DOH! I'm using an LPKF pcb-milling machine to mechanical make my traces. Every now and again, the foot of the LPKF machine causes some...

Whoa homie...chill. I wasn't trying to attack you. You seemed to me to be someone that is a victim of "bigger is better." Honestly, I have yet to see any benchmarks or real world tests where a 3gbps interface provides any tangible benefit over SATA150. NCQ is the main determining factor...

You should watch out with making assumptions about "most people" you have never met before. Why does "everyone" immediately think of 3gbps when it comes to SATAII? There are several other specs inherent to the standard...most important of which is NCQ. Other features are hot plugability and...
