I want to get a DVI/USB KVM so that I can hook up my work laptop docking station to my 2005fpw instead of this nearly 10 year old CRT when I have to work from home (I am on call 1/3 of the year, so it is frequent). Max resolution indicated is 1600x1200 for the DVI KVMs I see. I don't think the...

I have a server running SBS2k3 that is running low on disk space. It has not reached the critical point yet, but I want to start planning to increase capacity. Currently it has 2 36GB 10k SCSI drives in Raid1, split into a 10 gig OS and 24 gig data data partitions. I keep having to move stuff...

Has anyone taken the Cisco IP telephony troubleshooting class? I want to take it, but it lists CVOICE and IPT1 as potential pre-reqs. I would take CVOICE first, but the upcoming class is full, and we have a 2 for 1 class deal with our training partner that expires soon. I will be supporting...

My parents are getting DSL this holiday season. For their christmas present, I am going to setup their network, including wireless for my mom's laptop. My parents have a fairly large house (as opposed to my little appartment) and so range is much more of an issue than in any wireless network I...

Got MB/Proc & Memory & Vid Card. Just looking for a good deal on a CDRW and HD currently. Looking to build a PC for my little brother for christmas, maybe I can kick start him out of a path to a life of manual labor. So basically here is what I am looking for: 4. I also need a CD-RW...

I learned early on that there are really no such things as "weekends" and "holidays" when you work in IT for a big company, just days you work and those you may not. Particularly now that I support the network that carries all of our applications and connects all the retail sites. Retail...

Hi guys. I am not much of a website creator, but I am attempting to make a website that people can check for updates on my upcoming wedding. For the most part, its just a hack job with my limited knowledge and dreamweaver, but its acceptable and almost complete. However, I would really like...

While my enterprise routing/switching/firewall etc is pretty strong, I feel that I need to learn more about WAN technologies. Particularly those implemented by large corporations, including frame, ATM, sonet, POS, and some of the newer WAN ethernet technologies. Unfortunately, the BCRAN book I...

While cleaning some crap out of my apartment, I came across a couple of things someone may want: 1. Linksys BEFSR41v2 - Cable/DSL home router with a built in 4 port 10/100 switch. Worked fine last time I used it. 2. Pentium II complete system internals - This was my first PC after a...

I want to buy a chaintech VNF3-250 socket 754 motherboard to replace a likely dead unit. Will pay $40 shipped. Heat: Darkstar850 eBay: Darks217 email: [email protected] Let me know

Does anyone have experience using a mini-itx system to run one of the linux firewall distros? I have never even personally seen (except online, obviously) a mini-itx system, so I am not sure how well supported the platform is in the linux world. What I am thinking about is getting one of...

Ok, I imagine this is simple, but I am a creative retard so help me out. I am trying to design a website to contain info for my forthcoming wedding (the website part I can muddle through) and I want a black and white photo for the entry page. However, the only pictures I have are in color, and...

Some of the salesmen are using company computer(s) at my dad's small business to view porn. Now I wish I would of gotten SBS premium to have ISA, but I don't. So we are considering setting up a proxy server on one of the old retired machines that isn't doing anything. However, all of the...

Ok prelims: Heat: Darkstar850 eBay: Darkstar217 email: [email protected] (non-free email info will be provided to purchasers). I accept paypal, and ship via USPS priority mail. All items will be shipped within 3 business days of purchase, but usually sooner. All prices include...

I am trying to setup my joystick so that I can do a little more with the aircraft in BF2 than ram them into the ground. I have an older Thrustmaster top gun joystick. I can plug it in, and windows has the drivers for it, so it recognizes it fine (the Thrustmaster website also says there are no...

Ok guys, so I am getting very frustrated with the wg121s that I am using for the wireless network at my dad's small business. They have an annoying tendency to drop connection regularly (but I have some plans to try to fix that) and the wireless connection does not come up until users log into...

I am kind of out of games on hand at the moment, and Rome: Total War looks interesting. If you want to sell your copy, PM me with your price. Thanks.

So in my spare time I run the network for my Dad's small business. Having only rolled out 4 of then new client machines (out of what will become 6 to possible as many as 9 clients) I think we may already be straining the cheap 256k bi-directional DSL that is set up there. I have an SBS2k3...

I just got a Promise Tx2000 raid controller for my file server to run Raid1 for my files. There are 3 HD, one boot drive running Windows 2000. I have 2 120GB maxtor 7200 RPM ATA drives for the Raid. I have each disk set to master, and each one is on its own IDE channel on the raid controller. I...

I am building a lab for my CCNP attempt, and I would like to use my spare linux learning box (running FC3) to configure the devices. I have a serial to rj-45 console cable. I have been messing around with both minicom and ckermit attempting to get a console connection to my first device, a...

Well, its about time to start the next certification quest, ccnp. When I worked on the CCNA, I used a sim software instead of real equipment. It wasn't bad, and it allowed me to easily pass the test, but it wasn't quite the same, and had some functionality missing and some quirks. So for the...

Ok, so I am still plodding along towards getting this FC3 box setup. I am currently working on getting VNC to work, and to do that I have installed guarddog and guidedog to provide a simple interface to work with, instead of trying to modify iptables by hand (which didn't go well). I was able...

Well, I want to remove my XP pro from my file server and put it on my main desktop. I have been wanting to get some experience in linux/unix commands and structure for a while, as it is fairly frequently used at work, and I know nothing about it. The system hw is the 2nd machine in my sig...

I am the unofficial (read: unpaid) IT everything guy for my dad's small business. I have just recently finished a long project upgrading almost every IT resource they have. The new weak link is their website. It looks like a retarded 6 year old designed it while having to fight off an attack...

Well this is probably a stupid question, but I am exhausted and was never too good at DNS anyway. Here is the deal. We have a shitty website currently hosted by qwest's dex service. I want to replace it, but now is not the time. We have DSL service through qwest.net. These two entities have...

Anyone have a link or know a good resource on writing windows domain login scripts? All I really want to do is auto-map some share drives to users every time they log in to the domain. Also, while I am on server management topics, I also could use a good walkthrough or resource for group...

Go to ebay's video card section and then search for X800 XT. This guy has tons in stock, as long as you are willing to buy it from a guy with 0 feedback and located in the netherlands :)...

So, I think today is the day my venerable GF3 retires. I just sold a bunch of my old hardware on ebay, and bestbuy is running a 250 dollar deal on the 6800NU right now. Here is my dilemma. I have a 120 GB Maxtor as my primary drive. I got another one at Fry's recently for a damn fine price...

Ever finally had it with tinkering with your PC? I mostly rebuilt my PC a few months ago. New processor, motherboard, RAM, case, fans. Basically kept the HDs, opticals, and vid card from the old machine. My goal with my XP-M was 2.4 ghz. Despite getting what was considered the best or 2nd...

Looking for an IDE RAID card. I would prefer highpoint or promise. Just want to be able to do Raid 1. I would prefer an ATA133 card, but a good price on a card that only supports ATA100 would also be considered. Linux support is preferred. Let me know what you have. EDIT: Not looking for...

Want to buy either 2x256 or 1x512 MB of PC2100 or PC2700. Looking for a good price on good memory. Must be able to pass memtest with no errors. If the memory is 2x256, it must be identical sticks. Heat is Darkstar850 ebay is Darkstar217 email is bryanh(AT)u(DOT)washington(DOT)edu PM...

So I have this 512 mb stick of Kreton Extreme Blitz PC3500. It is great memory, particularly for the price I paid for it. Right now its running 2-3-3-11 @ 200FSB, which is good enough for me. I had some Corsair XMS 3500 BH-5 that was running 2-2-2-11, but I didn't notice much of a difference...

No longer in need of this memory.

Ok, went through all my stuff today, and decided to clean out some of the stuff I always think I am going to get around to using, but never do. All prices are shipped unless otherwise noted. 1.**SOLD TO STREAMLINER** 2x512 MB Corsair XMS3500 BH-5 Ram Bought it on here a few weeks ago...

Ok, so now that I have both my main PC and file server working how I want, I would like to start backing up important info to the file server. Here is what I am looking for: -Automated/scheduled: so I can have it back up at like 3 am on every tuesday or something -Target certain folders: I...

If you want to read a brief story, read on. To skip right to my question, jump down to the asterisks (***) So I have a 2400XP-M that I have had for a few months, and I have always been a little dissapointed in it, as it wouldn't run stable over 11x200, even running it up to 1.875 vcore. This...

Not sure if this is quite the correct forum, but as the confusion I am having is mainly with routing over the internet, I thought this was the best option I am helping a family memeber setup a SBS 2k3 server for his business this weekend (and by help, I mean I will set it up, and he will hope...

So I finally had time to put together my new gear last thursday. The following is the new machine's part list: Case: Antec SLK3700-BQE (350W Smartpower PSU) MB: Abit NF7-S CPU: AXP-M 2400+ RAM: 512 MB Kreton PC3500 Extreme Blitz (2-3-3-7) HD: 80 GB IBM, 120 GB Maxtor Optical: Sony CD-RW...

Someone recently posted a "ranking" of how good the OCs seem to be on different XP mobile steppings. I tried to look through the old threads, but I am not seeing it. I just got my XP-M, and would like to see if the stepping I received is well regarded. Could someone post that again or direct...
