There is a need to migrate from Microsoft SBS 4.5 to Windows 2003/Exchange 2003, and start using a new server at the same time. Can we install the new server directly with Windows 2003 / Exchange 2003 and use the active directory migration tool to migrate the SBS 4.5 domain (with user and e-mail...

Here's the situation: I've got a 2940UW card in my WinXP computer (the bloody MSI....), and hooked to it a Seagate SCSI 318406LW 10k rpm 18GB boot drive. I've also got, on my desk, a used 29160 SCSI card, with an old BIOS. Now the question: Would YOU take the trouble (say you're feeling lazy...

Anyone use one of these mobos? Any problems with it? Mine's been giving me trouble from the moment it arrived. It is finally working ok, WHEN I run my memory (Kingston 400MHz stuff) at 333MHz! At 400, LOTS of errors in windows XP. Not funny. THe memory works ok at 400+, tested in another mobo...

How many here use a "natural" keyboard? I just ordered one home, a Logitech cordless optical comfort. It's my first natural keyboard, and feels very weird! I wanted a new mouse, and something in black was the criteria according to my wife ;). So I decided on this. It's not so bad after 15...

What's the lowdown on these? Are they any good? I ask because I can get these: DUAL CHANNEL ULTRA320 CONTR. 64MB 2-CHAN SMART ARRAY 641 ULTRA320 64MB 1-CH. RAID COMPAQ SMART ARRAY 4200 4-channel. WU2 for cheaper prices than Adaptec (ASR-2120S(KIT)). (SMART ARRAY 642 ULTRA320 64MB 2-CH...

I just installed (whew, took me almost an hour, and 2 beers) a Zalman VGA heatpipe cooler, ZM80C-hp, on my PNY Geforce 4200. I'm hoping to silence the computer with this. For those attempting to do this, take a look at www.zalmanusa.com -> products -> left navigation, VGA heatsinks -> nice...

I mentioned this in Tonys thread in Tech support, but I thought I'd mention this here also. Could someone explain to me why this happened? The relocation did not mean installation of XP, that was done a month ago. I just wanted a better case for ventilation, that's the reason for the moving of...

So I was at a friends house tonight, trying to install a microphone in her computer (which is a normal Duron 1300 on a MSI K7T Turbo ver3, 1gig, integrated audio). WinXP as OS. There was one microphone available and one creative headphone available. So I plug the microphone in, check that...

This is getting ridiculous. Modern web-sites are starting to have so many advertisements and java thingies, that they are beginning to be slow on multiple gigahertz computers with 10-100Mb/s lines! Just take anandtech or any other of there "popular" sites. Jeez.... I've just downloaded...

It's leaked, at least part of their source code: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/12/2114228&mode=thread&tid=109&tid=187 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4253584/

Go get 'em boys!

Anyone used these? I got it home last night, it's an 8 port model with VLAN and stuff. Only problem is, it uses 2*40mm fans at one side to keep it cool (it's not even warm when I touch it) and the fans ARE VERY LOUD! I'll probably disconnect one fan today and see if it helps, so that the unit...

I need to get an up-to-date diagnostic toolpack together for myself, and as I haven't needed one in a long time, I'll start by asking here. What do you use for diagnosing sick computers, hardware wise? Is there a good, one CD, sort of package? Anything to recommend? MEMtest86 and the new...

Has anyone used any KVM switches with DVI connections? Any recommendations? Anything suitable for home use, preferable 4 port, and not having a sky high price? I'm using a D-link 4port model at the moment, and right now I have 2 computers fully hooked up with it (meaning K, V and M) and one...

KDE has announced KDE 3.2: http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.2.php

I just watched a short flick about the SR-71 Blackbird taking off a runway. I still think that's the sexiest bird of all times. Anyone have any good links/info they would want to share about this "chick" ? ;) Talk about curves.....

Anyone have any troubles with this software? Seems buggy as hell, even after patches. OS is WinXP (one ME also). Several crashes, when starting and in the program also. A couple friends with totally different HW are both experiencing this.

A fresh installation of WinXP, and an installation of the above mentioned AV software from the motherboards driver CD. I've had constant "windows has encoutered an error...." popups, every morning and now and then. After a bluescreen about some pcc...sys file I decided it was time. Has anyone...

Daemon-tool is very handy for mounting ISO/Bin/Cue etc...cd-images in windows. It shows up as an additional CD drive. There are others, but daemon-tools has worked ok for me. Get it here: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/portal/portal.php

I just got a new 2600 and 2800 Barton, and noticed the new look on them, around the core. They actually look kinda neat, me thinks! But aren't these new ones multiplier locked?

As the year has started changing in some places on this globe, a warm Happy New Year to everyone here! Let's hope it's better than the last one! (Still 6 hours 10 minutes to go here...). Great show with the fireworks in Sydney!

If you didn't guess ;), it's here: http://www.beagle2.com/index.htm Nothing yet.

I just downloaded 2 pics to my website. They are directly under root, named 1.jpg and 2.jpg. Fell free to check them out! :) They're pretty quick scans, so no complaints about the quality/size/format/etc please ! ;)

Something about Raidcore SATA controllers, a test with SCSI RAID controllers and Raidcore (Using 8 drives per controller): http://www.tomshardware.com/storage/20031114/index.html (seems that one, and the next one, are almost a week old) SATA 250GB HD's from Maxtor, Hitachi and WD...

Yiiiihaaaaa, I just got the above mentioned 20" TFT home from work. It is to be used with my laptop, mini dock and ADSL connection to work in cases of emergencies. And boy does it look good! I'm using it through the KVM at the moment, but I'm very tempted to try out the DVI cable to my...

I've got a mini dock at home for my T40. I also use a D-link 4port kvm to which my 3 computers are connected, as well as the mini dock. Problem is, the laptop won't boot if the mouse cable is connected to the dock (the other end in the kvm). When I take it out, everyhtings fine. The monitor and...

I just put pure-ftpd as a server running on my linux. It uses a non standard port, and I need to give it my real IP, as I'm behind my ISP's NAT. I'm using only passive mode, as ports below 200 are not open (ISP). When people log in from a windows client (say ws_ftp as program), they can...

Nice to meetcha, unless I've already done that?

I'm thinking about using solely NFS on my home network, and hence the question: Do you have any favourite NFS clients for windows? What about servers? If you've done this before, what recommendations/opinions do you have about this? I'm using 2 Linux hosts and one WinXP host.

Check this out: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12207 With driverloader one might be able to use windows network WLAN drivers in Linux. That might help those using cards that don't have linux drivers. Interesting I say.

I'm about to do a Cougtek with my motherboard in my fileserver! The host is a Abit KT7A, ATI 8MB rage something agp graphics, 3com 100mb/s nic and a new Allied Telesyn AT2915T gigabit nic. First I had WinXP installed on the computer, and the drivers for the nic. Copying (smb and ftp) stuff...

Monitors blowing up with these drivers? http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?postid=52230#post52230 I haven't looked into this yet, so it's possible it's a very limited/hoax incident.

For the past five hours I've been trying to get a small SOHO server to boot. After a normal shutdown, the computer starts up, HDs spinning, fans spinning, led on motherboard green, but no keyboard, no picture. No POST. No beeps. No keyboard lights. The computer is a A7V266-e, with 2*256...

I'm beginning to have too many .pdf files, and would need some software to catalog and index them. I've got a few dvds full of them, as well as a bunch of them on my hd. Any recommendations?

I need some advice on non-alcoholic drinks. As I'll be "working" here, I can't take my usual sip of rum...errrhhmmm, okay, my usual pint of rum. ...what did you say, bartender? My usual BARREL of rum??? Who me? :oops: So, as I've seen there are some non-alcoholic beers around, could you...

Time for celebration, so I thought I'd buy you people a drink. Bartender, if you please! Ok, now that everyone has their drink (alcohol or not, your call) and I have my Rum, I'll tell you the reason. This was the first day in my new job as a unix administrator. The company is very large, and...

Could someone recommend a free anti-virus program that I can install on peoples home computers? I've installed antivir.de on some, but was wondering if there are others? Thanks!

Been away on vacation for a vew weeks, and I haven't seen a computer in that time, so this might already have surfaced somewhere here. But if it hasn't, according to this we won't see SP2 until next year: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/servicepacks.mspx I was hoping to get SP2 with...

Can't access SF from work! :( Damm Been trying for the last 5 hours (during my brakes ...:) ) It worked with links from home, so that really makes me mad (perhaps I should try some of the cisco **sploits and change the firewall...hmmm :evil: )... Funny thing as we don't have too many limits...

No wonder AMD looses money, I just checked with the wholesaler here, and started wondering about what AMD's strategy is. P4 1.8GHz 160 Euros Celeron 1.8GHz 70 Euros XP 1800 56 Euros Wasn't XP supposed to be competing with P4? I know XP is supposed to be the future "cheapo" processor, but at...

OK, I had to get some new toys, so I ordered a Barton 2800 and one 512MB Kingston 400MHz memory. I'll get the stuff later this week, and I'll put it in my A7V8X and replace the XP2400. Got 2x512MB Kingston 333MHz in there, so I'll have 1.5GB RAM after that. Only thing is I have a faint...
