I have a Dell precision 380 computer. I want to use the onboard lan as the conection to the internet but I have a wireless card installe and want to use it to enable my laptop to see the internet too. Can I enable the wireless card (linksys PCI) to act as a DHCP server and give out IP addresses?

I have been fighting the solution of changing my sounds in office 2003 outlook. This is what I have tried. Start->Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices. Sounds tab and under program events, I scolled down to Microsoft Office->New Item. Changed the sound and restarted Outlook. I cant get...

Is this the same as windows messanger? Or how do I enable or check to see if its enabled?

Im looking for a way to broadcast messages to users machines in our w2k3 network. All of our workstations use XP Pro. Is there a networking messaging system built in? How well does it work? What else might you sugest?

They usually give you a black and white disk of the os. And usually, it doesn't require activation :) I would contact dell, they do waranty their systems for 3 yrs. The os disk is mandatory. You paid for it. However, what ever the story, no disk, no luck....

Ok this is the first time I have tried loading XP on a SATA drive and ran into some bumps. When I try to select the option to instal, it gives me the error that there are no drives found and to check conections and power. Do I need to install basic drivers first?

Well, technically, MC is Pro. Technically.... I say this because if you install MC on a computer, you can join it to a domain and it will perform similar to Pro. However, this needs to be done during the install! If you dont you cant join a domain and you loose alot of functions. Since you...

Ok, so this is what we did to fix the problem. (the cause, well could have been a number of things...) We found that the HP laser jet was pulling the same IP address as our Cannon machine and therefore was sending all of our print jobs to the cannon vs the HP. We did a "soft reset" while the...

ok the ip is 192.168.0.44 (found in the configuration print page). The printer is no longer found in the printer folder on the server. This sucks cause no disk makes instalation much harder....

i guess I should be more specific, I dont know the ip address of the printer. So, I cant ping it. How do I find out the IP address of the printer

Is this happening from all workstations or just one? All workstations Is this a new issue or did it just start? This just started as of this morning. (although, our system did come down hard due to a failed ups and loss of power...) Where does the server print to when mapped to the troubled...

Ok, so we have a win 2k3 server running as our print server. We have a printer on the network an hp laserjet 2420. Its on the network by cable to the switch. When we send a job, it is redirected to a different printer. I cant for the life of me figure out whats going on??

Ok, I see that, however, its a drag to have to reselect that option everytime. Is there not a place to have all your messages do this?

Ok, two things i found out. If I remove AVG 7.1, things started to work much better, however there was still some residual effect in active directory so I created a new user and then after AVG was gone, I was able to add her to powerusers. Go figure...

Ok, I cant for the life of me find the place in 2003 to include a request for reciept option. i know this doesnt work for all accounts I will send to, but I sure did like using it! Or if there is a 3rd party one you all like as well or better, let me know.
