    Sprint iPhone 4S Units Have Data Speed Issues?

    This is definitely not a problem only on the iPhone, it's a problem with Sprint's network in general. For a very long time now I've been lucky to get anything much higher than dial up speeds both at home and at work (work being in Madison, WI where there should definitely be solid coverage) on...

    Kid Makes Computers Go Haywire&#63

    I've been in consulting for quite a while, and I would definitely agree there are some people that just have bad "luck" when it comes to technology. It's not that they are dumb or are doing anything wrong, but things just tend to be more frequent for them, such as hardware failing, software...

    New SBS 2003 Server

    412978-B21, that's HP's part number. You can purchase just the license and then download the software from their site. We've used it 3 times so far, and it's worked pretty well. You have your old server and then the new hardware, and you install the software on a PC that acts as the middle...

    New SBS 2003 Server

    How many times have you used the SBS Migration kit? I've done at least 15-20 servers that way and I can tell you for a fact that you will save a lot of customer downtime using it compared to exporting PSTs and touching every workstation to disjoin/rejoin to the domain. The overall time into the...

    Powerline Networking

    I tried this a little over a year ago and it worked alright, except I would have to frequently powercycle both sides to restore the connection. By frequently I mean once every day or two. It was a brand new house so I assume wiring wasn't the issue, but other than having to powercycle them they...

    eVGA 8800GT 512MB for $229.99 @ outpost.com/fry's

    That's funny, their website says the stock version is 600mhz, and the Superclocked is 650mhz. You do realize they have 3 different levels of overclocking, right? Way to contribute to the thread genius, at least you got to use that nifty smiley.

    eVGA 8800GT 512MB for $229.99 @ outpost.com/fry's

    I haven't installed mine yet but I do remember looking over the box last night and seeing a phrase either on the top panel or at the top of the front panel in small lettering that made me think it was an overclocked version, but then the actual core clocks listed on the box were stock. So I just...

    I got the A2 from the bestbuyforbusiness website as well, I haven't received the updated e-mail yet but I logged in and see it changed to the A3 as well.

    Need upgrade advice for my system: CPU or vidcard upgrade?

    I had the exact same CPU and video card, however I had 1.5GB of ram. I'm upgrading everything however I got my c2D 6750 chip, 2GB of memory, and motherboard last week so I put those in with my 7900GT and there wasn't much of an improvement. TF2 ran a little smoother, Crysis still slowed way down...

    Just another thing to love about this ass backwards state. I'm so happy they are "protecting my rights as a consumer" by costing me $100 more for something than in 46 other states. This goes along nicely with all of our fee hikes we having coming in a couple months. Go Doyle! Anyways, thanks...

    XP Versus Vista - One man's opinion.

    In the end who really cares what the cause is, if it's something that we as end users can't fix. He even says in his post he thinks it's partially the drivers, it's not like he's bashing Microsoft or Vista. I suppose in threads like this there's always someone that has to make a dumbass comment...

    Fly to certain locations around the US for $10

    You also have to look at the times, I was wanting to fly from Milwaukee to Richmond, and they only do one flight to Milwaukee a day, and one flight to Richmond. I'm pretty sure the flight to Richmond was before Milwaukee, so then I'm stuck in Columbus overnight. Kinda kills the deal. This would...

    So... DHCP server goes down.... then what?

    Alright, I wasn't going to respond but this is the second statement in this thread that has surprised me. First off, how in the heck is it "the right way" to run DHCP on your router? I've seen hundreds of networks, and never have I seen anything more than a 5 user network using their router for...

    Need help setting up Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 behind a router

    You don't need to run forest or domain prep in SBS to install Exchange. All you need to do is run the base install of 2003 server and then it should prompt you the first time you login to continue setup using the SBS wizard. This will install DNS, AD, and Exchange for you. You just fill in a few...

    Actually you should be contacting your ISP to have the PTR record added. Unless your DNS host is also your ISP they won't be able to do this for you. Give your ISP a call and they should know what you're talking about.

    One of my previous co-workers found his current job through Robert Half and he really liked dealing with them. They got him in for a lot of interviews and really pushed to get him a strong salary. He went from something like 38k here to 53k starting there, and in less than a year he received 2...

    Need help choosing a new server and network setup for a business

    YeOldeStonecat already told you most of what you need to get you started. At some point you will need to go read up on SBS 2003 R2 and then decide if it's right for your client. You will not want to do this on Win XP Pro. The money you save on the OS will be wasted in troubleshooting problems...

    I'd like to set up my first Domain with SBS.

    We have many clients running SBS 2003, and we have had a few of them start getting locked out of the domain due to being over their amount of purchased licenses. When you get SBS installed you'll see a licensing link on the Server Management page. It keeps track (poorly) of the maximum number of...

    Sprint voice and data plan for $30/mo?

    If you look on other forums for hot deals you will see there are very long threads regarding this deal. From what I've read Sprint can tell if you're surfing the net on the phone or if you're using it as a modem for a laptop, and they will cut off your service if you use it as a modem. There may...

    VLANs exposed to internet - newbie questions

    Yes you can completely seperate a switch into 2 seperate VLANs on most Procurves. I'm not positive about the 4000 as I haven't used it but the 2650, 3500, and 5300s all do it fine. You just make ports untagged members of the 2 vlans and traffic will not "bleed" into them. I'm not sure where that...

    is VPN+Domain setup differently than VPN+workgroup (peer)?

    You either don't understand how VPNs work or you are completely misunderstanding what we are saying. Let's take a hypothetical network here. At the office there is a router, with an IP of 192.168.0.1, and all the servers and client PCs on that network have IPs of 192.168.0.x. Now you have a...

    is VPN+Domain setup differently than VPN+workgroup (peer)?

    I know how VPNs work. So his local IP is a public address, not a private one. That's all I was looking for. Most people don't connect directly to their cable/dsl modem, they use some sort of hardware firewall. If his local router was handing out an IP range in the 10.0.0.x subnet his VPN...

    is VPN+Domain setup differently than VPN+workgroup (peer)?

    What is the IP address of the remote user? Not the IP they are getting from your DHCP server, but the IP of their physical NIC? If it's in the same subnet as your network, then that's the problem. His pings will never leave his local network and travel over the VPN. Just because he gets a reply...
