Looking to buy a Galaxy GTX 460, model number 60XMH6HS3HMW. Already have one, just looking for another to SLI. Will pay $80 (negotiable). Also interested in a Galaxy GTX 660 Ti. Model GV-N66TOC-2GD. Same deal as above, already have one and considering another for SLI. Thanks, BrianTaylor

I bought the Galaxy 460 card on 9/1 after it was advertised here as coming with Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2. It came with Just Cause 2 but did not come with Mafia 2. On 9/3 I sent an email to [email protected] as had been recommended on this forum previously. I still have not gotten...

You are playing on a machine that is almost identical to mine. My first question would be are you on Vista, and if yes, is Aero on? My machine ran fantastic full screen, but I would often play 2 sessions at the same time and would window them in Vista Ultimate x64 with Aero on and they played...

Actually if you were to try to go to FX-62 you would have to do the same thing. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Weblets/0,,7832_8366_609,00.html FX-62 is AM2 only so you would still be buying motherboard and RAM (based on your sig.) Brian Taylor

And he is going to have to connect it to get the AV, or possibly update the AV. I presume his problem is that he is getting viruses that automatically infect without user interaction, like RPC exploits. The windows firewall will safely protect him from anything that would be able to install...

Start it up disconnected, turn on crappy windows firewall, then connect. Brian Taylor

Doesn't apply directly to this article, but I have been a BFG fan and currently own a BFG 7800GT, a BFG 6800GT PCIe, and a BFG 6800GT AGP. When I bought my 7800GT recently I was annoyed by the noise of the stock fan, as both of my 6800GT's have NV Silencers on them. I thought that I had better...

I bought a BFG 7800GT OC last week from Dell for about $440 and am looking to change to an EVGA. Just for everyones info both offer a lifetime warranty but when I contacted BFG via email they said that putting an NV Silencer on it would void the warranty. I called EVGA and their rep said that...

Coupon code wipes out the instant $50 off, so its really $449 before shipping. However, Dell had a new shipping deal where you go pick it up at the post office and shipping is free. I bought one and overall the total was $474 after adding 1 year of warranty. Brian Taylor

Also take a look at this. The ACL for the location of your redirected folders has to be set up very specifically in order for it to work right. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/274443/ Brian Taylor

Is your domain controller the primary DNS server for that machine? Brian Taylor

Every ethernet network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. It is 12 bytes long and expressed in hex. The first 6 characters are the manufacturer ID, and the last 6 characters is the host ID. No 2 devices are ever supposed to have the same MAC address. What you are...

But if you have moved the cable from the SpeedStream from the WAN side to the LAN side of the Netgear you have eliminated the double-NAT and now all you have do is port forward in the SpeedStream to the machines. When you do this there is no reason to port forward on the Netgear. Brian Taylor

All the machines need is a protocol that both have. TCP/IP is always there obviously, so nothing else is needed. Brian Taylor

To start off with do NOT install IPX/SPX, that is crazy talk. I presume your internet is already working on computer number 1? Go Start>Control Panel>Network Connections - double click on the first adapter and then click on support. If the IP address is 169.x.x.x check the second adapter...

Unless you are just using the Netgear as a switch, it will have 2 IP's, LAN and WAN. Because everything "behind" the Netgear has 192.168.0.x addresses I am guessing that you are using it as a router. You really need to go to the Netgear status screen and find out what the WAN IP address is...

His point was you are using hacks to solve minor problems that are caused by your root problem, which is that your roaming profiles are screwed up. Most people, including myself, probably feel that your time would be better spent fixing the core problem. In the time you've spend messing around...

Have you checked the Event Viewer on the client machines? The profile is either not getting loaded or saved or both. The Event Viewer should show you any errors. Brian Taylor

He would probably be OK on addresses. When unable to get a DHCP address Windows will automatically assign a 169.x.x.x address that seems to be somewhat random. The odds of both getting the same address are slim. What does concern me though is the fact that he mentioned that SP2 is...

Almost every Radio Shack in the US will carry an adjustable DC power supply. It will have interchangable plugs on the end that will fit almost any DC device. It will also have switches on the power supply itself that allow you to adjust voltage. Darn near everything made is ground on the...

It looks like you have a double-NAT situation. What that means is that in order to get to CompaqPOS and HPos you are going to have to port forward through both your SpeedStream and Netgear. Here are some instructions, but they presume you know how to use your management interfaces as I dont...

Because it sounds like his AD is small enough that an extra OU isn't going to hurt anything. And by creating a new OU it becomes MUCH more readily apparent who the policy applies to. Otherwise you have to look at what groups have rights to the policy, then navigate to your group and see who...

My employer gives these out to our remote users. About 225 remote users some of them out up to 2.5 years. I figure we have about 300 years worth of overall usage and only 1 failed unit. They are a bit slow to boot (~2min) but afterwards they are just as solid as you would expect a Cisco...

It looks like you are running in the local "Users" group. I would recommend logging in as an account that has local administrator rights and placing your login in the local "Power Users" group. This opens up a whole can of worms as far as security is concerned though. Brian Taylor P.S...

I rip them to an ISO or NRG, and then burn those onto a DVD. Use Daemon Tools to mount the images later. Will work fine on the 2 games you mention, but some games detect the Daemon Tools install and wont work correctly. Brian Taylor

I have done this successfully through a BEFSR41 router. First off, ignore the PPTP and IPSEC Passthrough settings. They didn't seem to do anything at all for me. You will need to have both 1723 and 47 port forwarded in order for it to work. After that point most of the problems I had were...

Through my BEFSR41 I have left Azureus open for days at a time. I usually allow 100 download connections and 3 upload connections per torrent, and have had up to 10 torrents open at a time. Brian Taylor I have done the same with a Cisco SOHO-91, but that is a slightly higher class of device.

Linksys BEFSR41 and I have never had this problem. It has not been powered down in over 4 months. Brian Taylor

I have used DynDNS for a couple years. At first there was a problem with my Linksys router, so I had to use the software client. It worked fine. Linksys finally came out with a firmware update that fixed it and made it all automatic from the router. And it has been running flawlessly for...

Under 10 machines, you really don't even need a server OS unless you want to do some advanced functions like roaming profiles. I have done a setup for a similarly sized business and I just used 3 normal Dell's. Threw a cheap SATA RAID card into one of them and (2) 250GB hard drives mirrored...

It will run constantly until you reboot without the floppy in the drive. It loops the test sets infinitely. Brian Taylor

These can't be put into our sig's, can they?

It is piracy. But, in my opinion another form of piracy is having you pay ~$140 for a piece of software that you are not sure will work or if you even want it. I would call it more like sampling. I downloaded it and gave it a try, looked good, so I paid Newegg for a copy. I certainly would...

You really only have 2 options on this. Either disable Offline Files on the share they are currently stored on, or move them to a share that has Offline Files disabled. Brian Taylor

My experience with MCE2005 has been pretty much flawless. PVR-250MCE and Philips Media Center remote both worked perfectly. No fuss whatsoever. I installed WinDVD all the codec packs for use with Gordian Knot and never saw a single problem there. The whole thing is easy enough that my 5 year...

Look through your Event Viewer and it will probably give you an idea what is going on. Start>Run>eventvwr will get it open fastest. Look for anything with a red X or yellow !. Brian Taylor

The preferable situation is to set you modem device into bridge mode. Then your Linksys can do the PPPoE authentication and you will be fine. If you can't bridge the modem: Set the internal address of you modem to 10.1.1.1. (255.255.255.0 subnet is fine) Basically load the Linksys with...

As soon as you set a startup config it wont ask you that anymore. Until then just type 'n' or 'no' as stated above. Brian Taylor

The Offline Files configuration is done at the share level. So, as I mentioned in my PS, you could shut it off for the entire share. But that will mean your users entire profiles will not use Offline Files which can be a problem if connectivity to the server is lost and you are deleting cached...
