    How to setup dhcpd under linux

    This FAQ assumes you have root access to your linux machine, dhcp is installed, and also assumes you have some knowledge of the linux operating system. You will need to find the dhcpd.conf file, this is the configuration file used to configure DHCP. Let's assume that the files were already...

    Virtual machine for XP?

    The only problem I see with Microsoft VM is that they won't be updating it. Basically they pulled it because of the fight with Sun, so you won't get any improvements like you might with the Sun version. I too think that the Sun version is a slow load but, I have had to use it because of...

    Not a problem but would appriciate some clarification

    Check to see if the path variable is simply too long. Right Click on MY Computer, and select properties. Click on the Advanced tab, and then environment variables. Look under system variables, PATH. That cannot be more than 256 characters long or it will create problems. If it is it needs to be...

    XP upgrade

    Both Windows XP Full and Upgrade will upgrade your copy to Windows XP Pro. OEM will not. It is recommended you don't do an upgrade but instead do a clean install, but since you do not want to lose data, Windows XP Pro has the ability to upgrade. If you purchase an Upgrade copy instead of a full...

    That's not much info to go on. Can you provide with a little more info. How long before it reboots. Do you get any errors? Why did you repair in the first place? Have you tried removing memory or video or anything else to fix this? John D. Saucier jsauce@magicguild.com Certified Technician...

    URGENT!! - Can't access subfolders & files within - Permissions prob!!

    I didn't mean steal a copy. A lot of companies don't care if you grab a copy of it. That's all I meant. Most of the software I have, I got from working in places where they had more copies than they will ever use and you can just grab one. John D. Saucier jsauce@magicguild.com Certified...

    URGENT!! - Can't access subfolders & files within - Permissions prob!!

    This is one of the reasons why Windows XP Home in my opinion is junk. Microsoft really disabled it when they made it. If Microsoft didn't charge so much for their OS it might be worth the cost of upgrading to XP Pro for most consumers. Or do what a lot of people do, get a copy from work for...

    URGENT!! - Can't access subfolders & files within - Permissions prob!!

    Permissions can be modified in Windows XP Home by booting into safemode. In safemode the permissions become available. John D. Saucier jsauce@magicguild.com Certified Technician Network Administrator

    PC rebooted, then hung,now no video

    Usually just removing the jumper, waiting 5 seconds and putting it back should be sufficient. Releasing the jumper, assuming it works will reset your bios settings and force you into the bios the first boot. You then just have to make the neccessary changes. John D. Saucier...

    Prevent Local Admin account from being disabled

    It really doesn't make any sense that all users need to be admins. You just need to figure out what permission they require and make sure it is set for those users. Try contacting the creator of the application and ask them what permissions are required and what permissions are not. John D...

    eth0 problem

    mtrr = Memory Type Range Register. It's a way of setting certain parameters for different blocks of memory within your system. You can make some parts non-cachable, some parts to use write-combining, some parts to use write-back caching, etc. You might have to upgrade your kernel, or try a...
