I have a Linksys wireless router, but I don't know how to find the IP address to configure it. I've had it for a few years now and can't find the documentation, but I changed the IP address from the standard one they always use. How can I find what it is?
View 6 RepliesThe IP address of your computer can be set from the command prompt by running the following commands at an administrative level prompt:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.0 123.123.123.1 1
Local Area Connection is the name of the adapter you want to modify. In single NIC systems it is normally called Local Area Connection....
Since there are no Windows 7 newsgroups I hope my post is appropriate here. If not, please let me know where I should post Win7 questions. I have a new Dell netbook running Windows 7 Starter Edition. I need to configure a hard wired network connection using a static IP address and I can not find where to do so. What I am looking for is the equivalent of Control Panel | Network Connections in XP.

Even though I have since deleted the email address I created, it will still appear when I try to send using the correct email address. I can't find that email address in my Contacts list to delete.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever i create a new email by click "To" to open up my address book for selecting any email address, or when i use "reply all" and want to add in some more email address from the address book, the computer start to run and till it stuck, so the only choice for me is to end this task and type email address instead of selecting email address from address book.
i thought that this is because i got too many email address, thus i deleted most of it and now only got 700 email address inside my address book, i just can not understand that when outlook express can take more than 3000 email address book, but windows mail can not take about 700 email address book. And somemore, this email address book is just useless for me, because whenever i want to use the address book, the windows mail is going to hang... and the only choice is to go to task manager, end this task and restart my windows mail.
I am trying to configure a new paper size for my printer and it was very easy with XP, but when I try to do it in Vista all the properties appear disabled. (Printers->Printer Server Properties).

After a couple weeks of pulling my hair out and threatening to go find that hammer, I found this site and the 200+ Tutorials. Below are the steps I took to get to a stable, working Vista Home Premium 32 bit. There is no new information here. Everything came from the tutorials and threads I read here before starting.
1. I made a backup of everything I wanted to save. Fortunately, most of my files were already on DVD’s from the old computer. I burned my Anti Virus, Anti Spyware and all the device driver updates I had downloaded during the ‘Insanity Times’. I also downloaded several of the Tutorials so that I could access to them without an Internet connection. I then unplugged my Internet connection. I used the recovery feature to reset the computer to its original factory installation.
2. After reboot, I did steps one and two from here: Speed Up the Performance of Vista
3. I next installed my Anti Virus & Anti Spyware. When setting up the AV, I set real time protection on and email scanning off. The Anti Spyware doesn’t load at start up as I let Windows Defender do the real time scanning. When installing programs I right click and choose ‘Run as Administrator’ rather than just clicking on the setup file. Some suggestions for anti virus and anti spyware here: Free Software List for Vista
4. I then rebooted. While the computer was shutting down to reboot, I plugged the Internet connection back in......................

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to grant an applicatoin the right to execute now and forever more? An app that I use 3,4,10,15 times a day triggers an UAC prompt. I understand that the app should be written in a different manner so that it does not need Admin rights. Until it is re-written, I do not want to be prompted __EVERY__ time i launch it. Is this possible?
Since I think I already know the answer (but I am wrong far more than I would like to admit which is why i am posting), Why not? and to answer the first 3 arguments against:
1) I don't care that the app should be written differently. It is not written differently now, and I need to run it now.
2) It's not really a security hole to whitelist an app(s) - UAC is still running. Firewall is still running. User is still a least priveledge account, etc.
3) i haven't thought far enough to have 3 counter arguments.
Can someone explain to MS the value in grannular configuration? 'Configure UAC' should have a few more options than Turn On / Off.

I have 6 workstaions. a mix of xp and vista. I am hoping that I can configure the vista machines in the same way I am doing xp. This is a workgroup environment not a AD. Let us say the 6 workstations are
1) alice (xp)
2) john (xp).....
Lets look at alice. What I have done is to create 5 user accounts (limited) on alice called john, mary, jack, roger and morgan. I have set their password all to network. ****QUESTION****: In order to share a folder(s) to these other 5 workstaions do I have to manually set up each user on the alice machine or is there a way to see these users of the other machines listed in the share permissons and just select them without having to set up physical accounts for them on the alice machine....

- What size should this USB Flash Drive have? -I read somewhere that it should be a 2.5:1 ratio (in my case 15GB then) for high-end systems. Is that right? - Do I have to configure the device on every Windows Boot again, so ReadyBoost is going to use it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have done this many times with XP Pro. Two entirely different hard drives. Make a dynamic file by file copy of C to D, then configure the boot menu to boot to either one.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy HP computer came with XP and an FM tuner.

Is there ANY other program (or driver) that will connect to this tuner?
