    Oddity: My Entire Network!

    hey guys, thanks for all the great tips!!! I just had to reset the router several times and end up leaving it off for about 15 minutes and rebooting... I bought a timer from wal-mart to put on it to turn it off for a few hours late at night and hopefully this will fix the problem in the mean...

    Oddity: My Entire Network!

    Yes, everything seems to match up, everything is being pulled down from the server as it is specified. The machines that work even match up with the ones that dont. The really odd part is that it almost like it is taking a day or so to validate the machine into the network?? Not the proper...

    Slow Network Access & Office

    OK, I have encountered an extremely odd problem. I have a network with 4 XP machines, and 2 2000 machines. All machines point to one of the XP machines as the fileshare.

    Networking labor cost?

    I would charge out by the hour. I only charge by the drop when a. it is going to be profitable for me to do so, and b. when i run all the cable and install everything on both ends.

    Old Router Finally Dying

    I have had no experience with that router but I have had experience with switches of that series and the lan modems back in the day before broadband came to many of my clients. The lan modems were evil, but that was simply because they used dial ups, I have had good luck with the devices and...

    I'll agree with Marley a router would be a wise investment in terms of not only ease of sharing but also probably security. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124010 These are great little boxes for first time users...
