Hello, I have a network with a modem (LinkSys ADSL ME3), attached to a router (Linksys BEFSR81) granting network access to a bunch of computers. The router is blocking access to many sites one employee needs access to. We want to leave the security as it is, but circumvent it for one user. Is it...

One end of the cable will plug into an existing (provided by the phone company) box - so I need to attach an RJ11 jack to it. The other end needs to terminate in a wall mounted face plate - allowing a user to plug a fax machine into into it. I've googled a lot - and believe I've got the end to...

Hello! I'm sure this is a simple question for most here. I'm running cable in an office for a fax line. The cable is cat5e. One end of the cable terminates with a RJ11 jack and the other end terminates in an RJ11 wallplate. Based on what I've found online, on the wallplate end, I'm cabling as...

Hello, I need to map drives for different users on PCs that I don't have physical access to. I've done a bit of research, and think maybe what I need to do is create individual scripts for each user, mapping their drives, and add the script to their profile in Active Directory. I must be...

I'm baffled! Booting into safe mode - still no network connectivity. Same when I boot to Knoppix. The cable I'm using works fine with another machine. Maybe - coincidentally - the NIC did go???!!?? Amber

Thanks Walt, I did try removing it from device manager and let Windows find it and install drivers. It is an onboard NIC so moving it isn't an option. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Amber

Hello, I ran Avast AV this morning - it found 1 infection and suggested a boot scan. This also found 1 infection and removed it. After rebooting, the network card completely stopped working. No lights show on the card - I've uninstalled/reinstalled the driver. I'm not sure that the virus issue...

Thanks. I read up a bit on the issue (license) - I tried the suggestions I found (restarting the service - manually pasting the license file in the proper directory). THen I installed the license file on a different server. I got the same results (inconsistant server host ID). From the server...

I've got a few questions about Citrix. I had Citrix Presentation Server 3.5 installed. I uninstalled, and installed a fresh install of Citrix. Support at Citrix told me to download XenApp 5.0 and install, then install Feature Pack, then Feature Pack 2, then Feature Pack 3. So I downloaded 5.0...

I think I have it resolved... I went in to advanced settings - virtual server I think?? and set up PPTP and IpSec as 'applications' - assign the laptop/IP address, and it seems to work. Thanks! Amber

Thanks! It's a DLink DIR-655. Amber

I'm sure there is a more appropriate forum for my question - but I can't find it! I have a small workgroup - connected via a DLink router. I have a work laptop, running Windows 7 Business that I use VPN to connect to the office. My router wants to block this access. How can I open up a path...

I have two networked printer questions: 1) I have a small office, with all 4 computers on a workgroup. Each PC/laptop is physically connected to a printer, and they are all shared so that others may use these printers. Each shared printer is installed on the other PCs/laptops. Under "Printers"...

I'm in the process of switching our servers & workstations to a new domain. For most PC's the transition is seamless (sometimes a bit slow) (adding the PC to the new domain and testing internet access). For some PC's it takes FOREVER! The boot process is super slow, the first time I go to...

Thanks for your help. That was my assumption, I just wasn't sure how to confirm it :) Looks like we're buying SQL Server 2008! Cheers, Amber
