    "An error occurred...

    Hi Bill, thank you for the link. At present that page isn't loading, but I will keep trying. Much appreciated. Gracie :)

    "An error occurred...

    i am back on the net! I set the tcp/ip to a static IP and put the default gateway address in, and that at last got me into the router, which I had not been able to access before from the browser. My machine wasn't in the client table, which wasn't suprising since the router had not assigned...

    "An error occurred...

    ahh, ps, something I forgot to say. When I look at the Network Connections page, the icon for the Ethernet card has a little padlock symbol next to it. And when I do ipconfig/all, I get my card IP details, such as they are, and then the Teledo Tunnel thingy underneath - which I looked up...

    "An error occurred...

    ...while renewing interface pawz connection: The RPC server is unavailable" this is the message I get when I go into Command and type in ipconfig /renew. The OS is XP SP2. The network is up for all the other machines. The last thing I did was uninstall and remove ALL Symantec files, including...

    OE error messages

    Hi Gavin, ah, I never thought of that, yes. I am about to put one of these in a Windows ME machine today, if it doesn't work then yes, I will go to the Intel site and get a generic driver, good idea, thanks. Part of the problem (sometimes)I found is that if I tried to re-install the software...

    OE error messages

    yes adrian - this fell under incompatible hardware I think. I wonder what other folk think of the 56k modems with an Intel chipset. I have two of them and both cause me more aggravation than any other internal modem I have put in. That is why I still have them; every customer machine I put...

    data recovery query

    sounds as if it's a no-no ed, but I might still get some recovery software for when the 'next time' comes along - thanks for your reply, appreciated

    data recovery query

    Sorry all, I posted this message on the end of another thread (when is dead really dead?) by mistake when I meant it to be a new thread, so for those of you who have noticed that, you are not seeing double... A friend asked me to look at his computer (XP SP2) because it would not boot and he...

    when is dead really dead?

    A friend asked me to look at his computer (XP SP2) because it would not boot and he was concerned that there was data on there that he needed. I brought it home and got nowhere with recovery console, so slaves it to another system running XP to get his docs before trying anything else. As...

    global icon missing...

    ah, I think maybe the problem is to do with dialup tcp. The 'your network is not complete' messages are to do with dialup I think, and this is a Broadband router setup. Speedtouch 500 and AOL as the ISP. There is a modem installed in the machine but not connected of course, yet I saw Rnaapp in...

    global icon missing...

    We visited friends today to deliver a monitor. We are not stopping I said - fatal. The network was fine (two Win 98, one XP)but could we have a look at the laptop as that could access the web but not see the other computers. I hadn't touched the laptop (Win 2000)when we had recently got the...

    broadband network failure

    yes Ed, good point. I have made notes about how to get it up again and what configuration details to look for when I am in, and the IP address so I can call it up from whatever machine I am working from, but as you say, next time I go I ought to make a more thorough job of it. thank you :)

    broadband network failure

    Hi Bill. I did wonder about a factory default type reset but wasn't brave enough to try as it wasn't my network ( although we did successfully set it up, with AOL's help about a year back) and I am not yet knowledgeable enough about adsl routers to confidently revert to defaults and then...

    broadband network failure

    hello Rick, I am happy to say that the problem has been fixed, and that it was because (somehow) the router configuration had been changed from PPPoA to DHCP_Spoof, and this last permits only one broadband connection, which is why there were no IP's for the other network cards available. Quite...

    broadband network failure

    hello all frustrated and frazzled Gracie here. About a year ago we helped some friends set up an AOL Broadband network (we did try to persuade them to go for some other ISP, but as they were already using AOL, they preferred not to change). All has been fine until the other day, when...there...

    when is dead really dead?

    stduc - thanks for that. the disk is not recognised so I can't slave it. Owners never reported any SMART warnings. The computer is packed up and ready to go back now - they are going to get a laptop instead of bothering with this machine I think. Shame because there is nothing wrong with...

    sending mail problems

    hello all, I recently gave someone an external modem. I tested it here by sending messages to myself and it seemed fine but he is having problems. Here is what he said in an e-mail earlier - When I compose an email, as soon as I press the send button, everything freezes. All I can do is...

    when is dead really dead?

    um, thanks Ed. I had a look on eBay, but nothing going on there, so unless I can find the exact model among my own small stock - unlikely - I guess its the end of the road
  19. pawz

    when is dead really dead?

    yes, Micker, thank you. As the disk is not recognised there is nothing I can do I think. I was wondering about swapping the controller card if I could find the same model. Don't suppose I have the same one here - is there any sort of trade in eBay for that sort of thing? It might be that...

    when is dead really dead?

    I am talking about hard drives... I have one here, the owner said the system was very slow... darn right, like forever since there is not a peep, whirr, click, vibration or any other sign of life coming from the drive, and of course it isn't recognised. I have read about folks putting them in...
