Closing my own thread. This was remedied by going to a command prompt and entering CHKDSK F: /R Substitute F: for whatever drive you need to work on. This should have worked the first time I ran it... not sure why it didn't (other than perhaps having used the wrong drive letter??). [ A+...

I have a client that scans a lot of documents (100+ GB over the last two years) from a multi-function copier. These documents are scanned to a PC that has a 4-bay HDD enclosure attached via eSATA (PCI add-in card facilitates this connection as it is not native on the motherboard). The 4 bays...

The customer is utilizing Comcast's residential SMTP servers which is fine for PCs since the email client can be configured to utilize port 587. [ A+ Certified, Net+ Certified ] "Old men are always young enough to learn." ~ Aeschylus

I have a customer that has a Panasonic DP-3030 that has recently requested the Scan-to-Email feature be configured. The machine has the capability of generating and sending email on it's own with the proper SMTP configuration information (smtp server name, smtp auth name, password). The only...

Thank you to everyone for your input. With a few new recent events, and your feedback, I've decided to opt for the new company. My start date is the 15th and my new office will be completed next Friday. Cheers! [ A+ Certified, Net+ Certified ] "Old men are always young enough to learn." ~...

In response to Langleymass... the guilt comes into play because the owner has become quite dependent on me to run the IT side of the business. I'm pretty sure that he's going to have a hell of a time finding someone with my skill-set and experience that'll work for the same pay-rate and lack of...

Hey all, I've been involved in the IT field now, intermittently, since 1991. In 2000, I hit what I thought was a milestone, landing a job as a network administrator. Things were going great until the company was sold to its biggest competitor and I eventually found myself a casualty of...

Hey all, I've been running into the strangest things network-wise lately. One of the strangest being a standard Wi-Fi network with 3 PCs running Linksys adapters connecting to a Netgear 108Mbps 802.11g router/switch. Apparently, AOL works just peachy over this WLAN via TCP/IP. However, IE...

Just to close this out... the actual cause of all of the problems was that the gigabit switch the server was plugged into... was not plugged into the auto-uplink port of the switch that connected the router to the network. All-in-all, once the wiring was straightened out, everything was back to...

Hello all. I've got a Win2k Server running Active Directory. It doesn't get used heavily as it merely hosts a network accounting package with licensing for multiple concurrent connections. Recently, it's come to my attention that it's ceased transponding DDNS update information. After...

Just out of curiousity, from those of you who work in field-tech or shop environments (where hourly labor-charges apply), in your experience how many PCs have been saved from mal-ware (spyware/adware) vs. how many PCs have had to have been wiped clean and restored. Regards, TwistedAdmin [ A+...

The advice I got from the guy down at the testing facility was to go with Net+ after A+. The combination gives you a well-rounded look and firm basis for everything else. Regards, TwistedAdmin

I'd have to concur with gwinn7... use multiple study guides and online resources. I personally used study books, software and Internet resources to study. I nailed the A+ Core Hardware test today in 10 minutes. As far as knowing when you're ready? Well, again, gwinn7 offers some sound...

Well, I just took the A+ Core Hardware test this afternoon. I studied my a$$ off for the last three weeks just to make sure there was no chance of not passing. The test (in adaptive format) took me 8 minutes to finish. I was dumbfounded. I think, at most, I may have answered 30 questions...

Have a user in-house... top sales guy. He called me one day with looking for his email icon. I asked him what he saw on his desktop... his reply, "Well, I've got a pen, my rolla-dex, my calender..." At that point, I took off my headset and let my head hit the desk. Oiy!! TwistedAdmin

The Win9x boxes are configured to log into an NT Domain. The Win2k and XP boxes have successfully joined the domain and are listed in AD. Regards, John

Greetings all, recently deployed all new servers to our branch offices, sporting Windows 2000 Server. We've got DHCP, DNS and WINS running smoothly for our mix of Win98, Win98SE, Win2kPro and WinXP Pro boxes. Seems that the XP boxes have no trouble at all browsing the network or accessing...
