I recently had a power supply failure on a Netgear 16 port switch (GS116) and managed to get a refurbed switch and power supply.
My system set-up includes a number of terastations ranging from 1TB to 4 TB, all connected to the 16 port switch. My question relates to my oldest terastation, which cannot be accessed if connected to the new switch but can if use my old one.
I thought a switch was pretty simple, it appears to not have any firmware to update. Is this a hardware issue?
Recently got a USB headset, and I have speakers plugged in as well. How do I switch between the two when I want audio to only come from speakers and vice versa? I took this screenshot [url]...
I purchased a Win 7 ASUS desktop for Christmas -now have 3 PCs - looking for a 4 port KVMP that is Windows 7 and xp compatible to replace current 2 port KVM . Was looking at Iogear GCS 1804 but reviews indicate it wight not work with Windows 7 keyboard.
Whenever I switch user accounts the computer will start the switch and then lock up with a display message that says no signal on the monitor. It happens if the computer has been running for hours or only a couple of minutes. I have to shut the PC off and leave it off for 20-30 minutes. I can then restart and enter any user account. But if I try to switch user or logoff and pick a different user the whole cycle begins anew.
I recently installed new software that requires port 8080 to function. When I try to run the software I get an error that port 8080 is being used.How do I check to see what process is using port 8080 so that I can open up the port to run the software? MACHINE: Windows 7x64
I have been unable to connect to anything on my wired network, for about the last week. I don't remember making any changes however, I just became unable to connect.I having done a little troubleshooting.1. I can connect to the shares of my Windows Home Server if I use the IP address. The name does not resolve.2. Flushed DNS and restarting DNS server. Flushing DNS works on one client, to allow browsing by the name & restarting DNS works on the other. However neither works after a restart.3. Only my Wifi clients are experiencing this issue. My wired clients, desktops, PS3, Xbox 360, and Boxee can connect perfectly.This issue is not limited to my server. I can't connect to shares on my desktop, nor print to my wired printer.Some network background:I have DSL through CenturyLink and have a Linksys E2000 router.
I use windows 7.When I turn on laptop (acer Aspire 5742) cannot connect to internet until I switch user and log in again. Soon as I touch any browser icon the rest of computer stops responding as well. It's only me on computer. Have virgin media security/ spyware/ virus protection. Tried CCleaner. After I switch user everything is fine.Additional info; On 16th October had great difficulty getting my emails from Yahoo. Sometimes sign-in box appeared without my security signature and different style of writing for browser remembered log-on details.

Hey I have an old Acer notebook with windows starter on it. I'm getting a new PC next week but it does not have an OS. I heard you could switch an OS from 1 PC to another. I don't mean swap the hard drive. I think your able to switch the product key. If i can how can i do this and will my new PC be good to go?
I am aware of the cavets for hardware and software when switching from 32 to 64 bit, but the question is this. I just bought the 3 unit upgrade which contains both the 32 and the 64 bit discs. I have an AMD dual core that will process the 64 bit. I installed the 32 bit version. Now I wonder, can I go back and install the 64 bit and if I do will I lose the extra install or will I still have 2 left on the 64 and the 32?
I have a computer that I bought refurbished and they loaded the 32 bit version of Windows Home Premium. I need to run the current version of Photoshop and it only runs on 64 bit.Need to do a clean install and I have no problem with that since their are very few programs on the computer.My problem is I have a disk from the Reseller that says "Windows 7 Home Premium". Will that also carry the 64 bit version of the software?Also the disk says "Licensed for use with the "Registered Refurbisher". I did license the software when I got the computer.I ran the Windows 7 upgrade utility and it told me the 64 bit is OK to load.
Can i format my C: drive to install windows seven if there is nothing i want to save. I am looking to permanently delete vista from my system. I was also wondering if i need to save any drivers for my laptop or if seven will install them for me.
I have my dad's computer already setup with Windows 7. For some odd reason being that there is only one drive in the computer. the computer's bios is set to RAID. I know you need at least two drives to perform any RAID functions. When I tried to switch over the SATA drives in the BIOS from RAID to ACHI, windows failed to start. Is there some proceedure first that I need to do before I switch them? Like a driver or does the hard drives have to be switched on a clean install of windows?
I have a router (Huawei EchoLife 520) with STB port for IPtv. I want to connect this router to my Prime router (Linksys) to act like switch so i can connect it to my Set top box (via STB port) because linksys has not have STB port for IPtv The reason is that linksys sync @ 20Mbit and Huawei as Prime router syncs @ 8mbit!!!! Ive try to do it (diable dhcp,nat firewall), and Huawei act like switch. Ethernet ports 1 to 3 shares internet to other devices but from STB port my Set top box returns DHCP error.
i have a 20mt ethernet cable going from my router along my loft to my gaming room to which it plugs into a network switch with 6 sockets for devices.Can i run another switch off of one of the plugged in cables to split another cable into 6 ports?The reason i ask is i need ethernet connections the other side of the room and dont fancy running any more cables under the carpet as i already have 3 computers and a server networked under it as it is
Just a home user. Mostly gaming. Home oriented stuff includes Office XP (2002), and Quicken. The other main software I use is Adobe Premier Pro CS3 video software (includes Encore, the DVD writing program), and Visual Studio 2005.
My system, isn't the latest, but newer stuff isn't a lot faster yet:
Intel core 2 extreme X6800 (2.93ghz) Intel D975XBX motherboard, 2GB 667 mhz 4-4-4-10 ddr2ram. ATI HD4870 (PCI Express) video card, 512 MB ram Sound Blaster X-Fi Plantinum 4 Segate 7200.12 500GB sata drives, paired into two striped virtual drives via BIOS. 1 Seagate ??? 250gb IDE drive, used only for boot up.
All drives have multiple partitions. Windows XP SP3 is installed on a partition on one of the striped sata drives. Windows XP X64 is installed on a partition on the ide drive. The second pair of drives are used for swap files, temp files, and backup. There's also a USB drive I use for backup.
Each instance of OS is used to backup the "other" OS partition, and also I use X64 for for some 64 bit programming with Visual Studio 2005.
Other than one version of Halo, I haven't seen any games that don't run on Windows XP. I read that most games play faster with Windows XP than with Windows Vista, and Tom's recent article seems to state that Windows 7 isn't faster with gaming than Windows Vista.
So bottom line, is there any point in switching to Windows 7 (or replacing my XP X64 with Windows 7)?
i have an old desktop its really slow it sure could use more RAM but we never chip out the money for one (by the way it started with xp pro but i upgraded to win 7 ultimate) and now my computer is really slow and blacks out when i switch users and takes a really long time to come back again and ive been thinking about switching back to xp anyway i can do that, and if i did that would it make my computer faster
I currently have a 64 bit laptop, but purchased a 32 bit desktop. I need to transfer documents from my laptop to my pc, but it tells me it cannot do a transfer. I also tried saving them on a flash drive and just copying them over to the new computer, but it just looks like giberrish-like symbols. How do I just transfer my documents without having to manually retype them in the new computer?
