One bump before letting this thread go

So I am looking at upgrading my display setup to two 1440p 27" monitors but I am having some difficulties in deciding between my options. Use - 75% Office Work, 25% Games (almost all RPG's and strategy games) After doing some research this is kinda what I've narrowed the options down to: Dell...

So one thing to watch out for is lint getting trapped in the phone's socket which prevents a good connection. I thought I was going to have to get a new phone due to the connection issues I was having with my Pixel 2, but after doing some research I cleaned out the socket with a small paper...

I guess my concern with Adata would be the Warranty and Support process. Have people had any experiences with them?

Yeah I was leaning towards those....Any thoughts on Micron's business lineup (1300 and 2200)?

So I've started to look around for SSD's to start upgrading user's laptops, but wanted to see if there were certain brands people recommended or more importantly, avoided. I've always bought Samsungs for my personal builds, but always see HP's, Sandisk, Intel, and especially ADATA on Sale...

I completely believe this just going through this as a part time IT guy. Too many variables to always place the blame on just one thing.

Is this something that's unique to QB or is something that kind of stateful database would run into? We've ran Sage 50 over a VPN connection reasonably well for a while, so I wasn't sure if there was a difference.

So we are looking at upgrading our Network Infrastructure with some Fortinet UTM's (2-30E's, 1-60E's) and I was wondering if the site-to-site performance would be good enough for for the users at the other locations to access an accounting program such as Quickbooks Enterprise on a daily basis...

Yeah I tried that a couple time and it still wouldn't work, but it turns out the Other Account username syntax is pretty sensitive. I called up a friend and whether or not it was required, we used .\username and it worked. He said the period in front of the user name denotes a local account...

So I work at a small business which means that our setup isn't exactly ideal and I am running into an issue trying to map a network drive between two different PCs that use different login methods. So the User's PC utilizes a Azure AD (it's the basic functionality that comes with Office 365...

I have a six year old Denon Reciever and it generally doesn't have any problems with Spotify Connect. It is nice because then I don't have to turn on the TV.

Nobody ever said this would be appealing to everyone. .

This is surprisingly decent deal. Two year no interest financing is way better than I would have expected.

Good lord man, why would you try to transcode 4k video? Pretty much everyone at Plex recommends creating a 1080p version of files that will be watched on non 4k display devices due to the insane hardware requirements of 4k transcoding (and it is still fairly buggy)

Not Hot Dog!!!

I had almost zero problems with Vista but then I bought it about six months after it was released.

So basically a machine with a local login can only be accessed by another computer with a local login. Stupid question time....would the cloud based Azure Active Directory included Office 365 meet the second option? Or do I need a premium subscription?

So I handle IT for a small business (20 employees) and have been gradually trying to transition our laptops from consumer grade to business level laptops with Windows Pro. This actually isn't my primary job but the company didn't have anybody handling it before I arrived so I've taken it on...

Passwordsafe with database file stored on two-factor protected Dropbox has worked pretty well for me over multiple platforms and devices

So I am looking at a latitude with an i3-6100u with a 15.6 1080p vs a 470 G3 probook with a 17.3 1080p I5-6200u. The latitude is about $45 less. Should I just buy the latitude and use the savings towards an SSD since there doesn't appear to be much speed difference. The user would be an...

So I am looking to buy some inexpensive laptops for our small business and have honed it on these two options from their respective outlet stores. Anybody have any thoughts as to the build quality of these? Also is it worth spending extra money getting a true 1080p screen? For the same price...

I am looking to buy a couple computers for our small company and Dell outlet looks pretty attractive pricewise for business class laptops. My only only concern was build quality and if there was any significant differences between the two considering the 3000 series is about $100 cheaper...

That's cool man. Whatever fits the narrative you have in your head It's not a problem for the vast majority of people based on the feedback I've seen around the web. Again, there are absolutely people having problems but to try and portray them as the norm as opposed to the exception seems to...

I checked out the 105 post thread on the forum and it was basically three posters complaining the entire time. I have no doubts there are user having problems, but I think overall people seem pretty satisfied.

I've had zero problems from the get go with an average of 15 devices connected at any given time so I would just say that not everyone's experience is like yours. It's also still the most highly rated BHR on small net builder Orbi is for people who don't have dedicated ethernet running around...

Unfortunately I am it and that's not changing. I am really pushing to move to a cloud based ERP as it would solve a ton of security and logistics issues. Naming convention is the standard Company (\\SERVER\Peachtree) (Z:) As for pinging the host, I won't be able to test that until I get...

The error is just getting notified that I can't connect to the mapped network drive. Stupid question but How do I ping something that is on the VPN? Also what is UNC?

So about a two months ago i installed a Netgear router with built in VPN support to allow our offsite employees connect up our Accounting System's database file (the program requires a mapped network drive). For the most part setup was really easy as employees were able to connect up with the...

Forgot to provide an update on this. But I ended up getting an R6400 and it made the VPN experience much less of a pain in the ass. Thanks for all the advance!

We are talking pretty basic stuff here. Basically the small business I am working at is splitting up the company into two different locations, but the issue is that our ERP Software is local so we are trying to figure out a solution to access the database remotely. The owner read about VPN and...

I am looking to set up a VPN and I was wondering if there were any benefits to using a VPN enabled router vs a manual windows VPN server besides the ease of use factor. Thanks!

Oh I have plenty of experience with that from Civ IV and V but I am running into this problem on like turn 30

Anybody having long turn processing times? I have a decently spec'd pc and frequently have 20-30 turn processing times when using a huge map.

Are you referring to how they handle billing? If so, it's definitely a little weird. Other than that, for SMBs it's a godsend.

So on a shot and prayer I switched my login from a Microsoft account to local and all of a sudden i can connect to the networked computer without even being asked for network credentials. Does it make any sense why this would work?

Yes and other people/computers can use the same login and password with no problems.

Yes I am able to ping the other computer with no problem. It probably should be noted that every other computer in the office can log into the computer with the Sage files and that I can access another computer that is completely open sharing setting wise (you can access with no login).

So at work we have computer that has our Sage database files and I am having a problem connecting up with it via the network with a new laptop. On everyone else's computer, you just double click the computer icon in the network section, enter in the name and password, then you are good to go...

In fact my experience is that Chrome on iOS is much faster than Safari.
