Also how much memory do you have?

Well, I am thinking that there is a small nic or scratch on the DVD which causes it to freeze up. Try cleaning the cd with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. What is probably happening is that it works in a regular DVD Player for the T.v. but not your DVD rom. I find that the DVD-Rom are more ...

Just look at your taskbar by your clock, you will see ZA or something open. If you did not install a firewall then you probably don't have one running. What version of IE are you using? Probably Internet Explorer 6. I have seen this problem before and the only solution I has was a straight format ...

It does sound like the chip is fried, but no problems with the power supply. When you get a new chip you may find that you will have performance issues with the smaller power supply. You still may want to get a larger power supply. You could have ESD the chip or again plugged it in wrong. It happens ...

What graphics card are you using on the computer that freezes and how many megabytes is it? Also do you notice it is a bit choppy in playing? What resolution are you playing it at?

You may be forgeting frequency of users. If he started the monitoring process and there were 5 users logged on using resources; then you start the second monitoring process without streaming music and an additional 10 users logon while using more resources, you will get unfair results. If you have a ...

Just check the configuration of the card on the notebook and make sure it automatically assigns IP addresses and then when opeing IE just cancel the internet wizard and all should work. This will only work if your router is set for DHCP.

nightowl_123

At this point after deleting ZA have you switched the router back to DHCP to see if it was ZA that was causing your original problem?

nightowl_123

Also, can you access files from computer to computer?

nightowl_123

I agree, the best solution is to set a static IP address on the computer that does not work. Check what IP addresses you can use from your router documentation. Everything should be fine after that.

Do you have a firewall on the two computers that are connecting to the host and if not does the host computer have a firewall like zonealarms which may be disabling the shockwave Plug-In from access the local network?

I am not very familiar with XP but I will tell you what I know. First, 700mb is alot of file to download and 10mbs connection which you are probably using will take about 5 minutes. And as for the spiking, information gets passed through the network in packets, so when a large amount of packets are ...

Question, do you not have to specify a network adapter in that command line? what if you have 2 adapter what do you type. I have not had much experiance with XP. I hear nothing but bad things about it. Let me know for personal knowledge thanks.

Let them know your frustration and that they should give you a month free or a discount of some sort because you have not had internet or T.V. this entire time. Don't back down, you are intitled to some compensation for their stupidity in not checking the line to make sure 100% customer satisfaction ...

Guys this is a cable modem. He propably had to release his IP address from the USB connection first. If this is not done, the DHCP at the cable company will still show that he has a lease on an IP address and will not lease him a second one. You need to go to start, run, type winipcfg, then choose ...

You should go on the internet and do a search for your router name and model. Then download the documentation so you know how to administer your router and access the manager. You may also be able to update the firmware on the router. The documentation will tell you how to do this.

nightowl_123

I solved one!!!!! I solved one !!!!!!!! Now I am on top of the world.

nightowl_123

Are you actually using a firewall such as Zonealarms? If so you need to allow access through the firewall. Did you also happen to upgrade your IE to version 6.0. This is a big headache. Or did you change your internet security settings? In internet explorer, click tools, options then advanced or ...

I am using the same HP 640C printer and I am having no problems. I use ME. What is the specs on the machines? You may need to see if there is any conflicts between the printer and the NIC. Normally you would say it is not possible to have 3 printers and 3 machines drop the line for the same reason ...

You don't have to give me the info. I can just give you some examples. Also, maybe you should e-mail me instead of posting for everyone to see. I couldn't hack my way into a cereal box. I am an MCSE but not a hacker or cracker. I never had the interest to do those thinks. Before you give me the info ...

Check your documentation for setting up the WAN, it should have an option that allows the router to continue to lease new IP's on it's own. Does the WAN light stop blinking? If so this may be a problem with your router or firmware on the router. Also check the website for an update of firmware for ...

The RT-314 work great for me, with no problems. I got it at 69.99 CDN$. This was at future shop. They have an on-line deal right now. Check it out.

Here is what you do on the 98 machine. right click on network neighbourhood, then click properties. Under the configuartion tab you should see client for microsoft networks, double click this. You will now see a window with logon validation. Choose logon to windows NT domain, then enter the domain ...

Alright, sorry about that, I get ahead of myself sometimes. You gave a good picture here. What are your IP and subnet that each computer is using. To check, click start, Run, then type winipcfg and hit enter. You will notice a drop down menu(arrow), There should be PPP adapter and then the name of ...

nightowl_123

If anything at least make the computer that keeps dropping the IP as a static IP. Make sure to include subnets, gateway and such.

nightowl_123

Under your router manager you should be able to change the lease IP settings. If this does not work, on each machine set the IP address as static within the IP addresses your router will set. You can still leave your router as DHCP.

nightowl_123

I had the exact same problem. I moved into a house and they hooked up the cable, everything was running fine for about 2 weeks, then my modem went out and then back on and so on at intervals of 5 minutes up and down. Then it finally went out completely. The problem is your external connection ...

I agree, you should dump AOL. It is nothing but a pain in the butt and has alot of security holes.

nightowl_123

I agree, if you ftp the lastest firmware to your router you should get rid of these problems.

nightowl_123

If this does not work, try checking what permissions you gave the shares. When you say full control the default sometimes might be passworded. Did you put the workgroup name for both computers the same?

nightowl_123

. Do you have the same access as this guy , equal or less? The best way to find out what additional stuff he is running is to check the cabinet you keep your licensing sooftware in and see if he has additional spoofing software that you don't know about. Unsure of his access and cannot view his ...

nightowl_123

Spoofing is a very good possibility but if he is telneting directly to it and entering admin passwords he should be all knowing at that point. Unless by chance you have the two routers connected and one is spoofing for the other. What if you disconnect the Routers from each other then telnet into ...

nightowl_123

We they the same brand and Nano seconds? That info is on the RAM. Are you sure it was a memory leak or just faulty? I guess there was no parity.

nightowl_123

I have the same router, Try doing this. Unplug the WAN cable from the router. Then try again from that computer to conect to the router using IE. It should work, if not try restarting the router with the WAN still disconnected. It is not a solution, but at least you know where the problem is steming ...

nightowl_123

Also see if you can see the share on the computer that has the share through network neighbourhood or my network places for ME. Eg. Computer 1 has a c: drive shared. Open network neighbourhood on computer 1, then double click entire network and you should see the shares. Sometimes there is a delay ...

Questions, Are you using a hub with software like IShare to connect to the internet? Did you give access to the firewall if you have one to access the other computers. Are all the computers on the same subnet and if so do the IP addresses work with the subnet? When you do get connection do not try ...

nightowl_123

I agree, when you share with software you are splitting the connection from the computer and are putting the larger workload on your NIC's. If you get a router you will be sharing the connection directly from the main line and you will not always have to have a computer on to share internet ...

You just stated your solution. You are probably getting network collisions which is causing your connection to drop. I bet you hub does not have collision detection or anything. If it does runa test by re-inacting the problem and watch the light for collision detection. You will probably have to ...
