    Jet Direct and Port 9100 Issue

    I think we finally narrowed it down to the parallel port on the printer. I was able to Telnet, so I knew it wasn't the network cable, but if we did a test print from the Jet Direct nothing happened. We are using 9100 for RAW printing from SAP. It's hard to troubleshoot sometimes because if a...

    Jet Direct and Port 9100 Issue

    We use label printers and a few are older models that have no direct network connection so they are wired to HP Jet Directs and connected parallel. We recently had issues with two where they would not print. We replaced both and the issue has fixed on one but not on the other. The Jet Directs...

    Connect 2 bldg's together Network

    At that length you realy need to go fiber. If you go copper you will get really diminished signal at that range normally not to mention with all the interference that might be in your area. It would almost be a waste of money to lay copper hate how it comes out then more money down the road to...

    NVIDIA 8800 GTX Drivers

    Not sure if this stands true for 8800 model but there should be no reason to update nividia drivers on your own. I get all mine through windows update on my nividia and haven't had an issue yet. Jake Chaffee "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who can read binary and those who...

    Is there an IP workaround?

    depending on what your using it for logmein.com works great. You get a 30 day free trial of their pro software then it backs down to their free software. Free software allows basic administration of the remote computer like you are sitting at it. Pro allows file transfer between remote and...

    need help on laptop

    I'm sure a laptop nic card is integrated. your best bet is to get your hands on a PCMCIA card from a friend or someone at work either wireless or wired for your laptop and slide it and see if you can connect that way. Have you tried pinging 127.0.0.1 to see if it is the network card and not...

    Accessing An Internal Website Like an External User

    Does your external website have a domain name? Why not use that? Internally it should be able to resolve that. Jake Chaffee "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who can read binary and those who can't."

    IE6 goes blank, sometimes!

    The use automatic configuration does not matter, it is usually checked so your ok with that. Is this happening at home or work? It could be a permission issue to keep you from changing the proxy settings and the 10.8.8.18 could be an internal address its trying to connect to. Jake Chaffee...

    IE6 goes blank, sometimes!

    It sounds like the modem could be handing out a proxy which would be weird. Open IE and goto tools > internet options > connections tab > lan settings and see if the use a proxy server is checked. If so uncheck it and then restart IE and see what happens. Jake Chaffee "There are 10 types of...

    Internet Connection

    Maybe try ipconfig /flushdns. I dont think it would help with why you're not pulling an IP address though. NIC works fine, cable works fine, modem works fine (for your friend). But you still cant get IP address? You're not set to static ip? Can your computer see the modem? Can you ping it when...

    IE6 goes blank, sometimes!

    Under the ipconfig /all you will see a default gateway listed with an address. Ping that address (that address is the ip address of your modem). If you can ping that but still cant get to internet then the modem is the problem. Also when you do the ipconfig /all again could you take a...

    IE6 goes blank, sometimes!

    In the bottom right do you actually ever get a connection signal or do the computers keep a red x over themselves? Did that happen in Internet explorer? What happens in firefox? If you have another network cord may want to try that? Are you familiar with cmd prompt? If so. Type ipconfig /all...

    Internet Connection

    With the limited connectivity can you ping the modem and just not get to the internet? or can you not ping the modem either? Maybe try a new network cable and try reinstalling the network driver? Jake Chaffee "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who can read binary and those who...

    Contradiction - XP vs Router

    I'm not sure what your question is since it wasn't clear. How to forward ports or how t set static ips? As for as setting static on your router i wouldn't do that because I'm assuming you have a router for more than one home computer. Just set the computer's ip that is being forwarded to as...

    Internet Connection

    Do you connect directly to his modem or does it go through a router first? If you plug into his modem/router and get the limited connectivity have you unplugged for 10 secs then replugged to see if you get proper network address? Did you have a static address configured when you had DSL...
