Newbie Question #3
May 6, 2008
I was looking at this new Tutorial Brink created yesterday;
Vista SP1 Slipstream Installation DVD
and it occurred to my little newbie brain that if one could dl/save the SP1 standalone installer to the desktop, that I could dl/save it to one of my partitions i.e. E:Programs(Folder Name) so that if/when (probably when if I don't quit "experimenting") I have to reinstall I will have a good clean copy of SP1 on hand and not have to go to WU to get it.
Would someone please advise me if this is a good or bad idea! If it's possible?
Or could it cause unforeseen future problems.

I have 2 computers,1printer, xbox360,and ps2. Comp1 running vista and comp2 running winxp sp3. I also have a 5 port ethernet hub. Last week I switched from DSL to Cable 20mb. With the dsl router all I had to do to allow both machines on line at same time was to just hook them up to the hub. No modifications needed. My problem is that the new cable modem (motorola) will only allow One machine on at a time. To switch machines I must reset the modem and re asign ip each time I switch machines. My ultimate goal in the end is to have all 4 machines be able to access the internet and each other. Can I accomplish this with the 5 port HUB, or do I need to buy a router. (wireless is out of the question).

I'm trying to figure out this whole newsgroup thing, but I'm having problems figuring out how to find the server name to put in the "Internet News Server Name Field" in live mail. I'm a member of a google newsgroup, but I still am lost as to how to get updates on live mail. I know this is an extremely stupid question, but can someone please point me in the right direction?
