    Hi all there is problem in our net

    You seem to have at least two devices acting as DHCP servers and allocating IP addresses, probably from the same default address space. IF you can run with just one DHCP server, do so. IF you really need more than one, you must start them one at a time, and subdivide the address space, some to...

    Old, Old AutoCAD in Win7Pro

    I have to assume that Vamoushi got his problem solved somehow. thread687-1772653 Yesterday, I installed AutoCAD2000 in Win7Pro, and thought I'd recap the process for any other oldtimers like me. I searched, and found reference to a third party solution that was reported to take ~45 minutes to...

    Infection

    I didn't much believe in viruses, until I watched one spread over a company network, in real time. Scary. Needless to say, so I will say it anyway, if you have networked computers, you need to physically isolate them from each other and from the internet while you are chasing viruses, or they...

    Infection

    This has credible instructions: http://www.removepcvirusthreats.com/pup-optional-legacy-uninstallation-best-way-to-remove-pup-optional-legacy-manually The description sounds like you may have to repeat the process several times, as the program drops pieces of itself with random names. You might...

    Hard Drive

    One of the USB sticks that failed me, sort of half failed. Reading it with a sector editor showed that every other byte was 0, and the remainder I recognized as stuff I had stored. I cracked the case and found two memory chips and a custom LSI chip that was clearly its brains. I tried...

    Hard Drive

    The only problem I've encountered with USB sticks is that they don't fail gracefully, they just stop being readable. That's my experience for a very small sample, of two-ish, out of several dozen that just got too small.

    HP Photosmart c410a Copy/scan issue

    That sounds like what a digital camera does when the image sensor is kaput. ... like after you take a picture of the sun.

    HP C6380 - new behavior - reboot demand

    Thanks for responding. For a couple of days, it was offline of its own volition; looked normal locally, but computers couldn't make it do anything over wifi. It said it could see the router, but couldn't get an address. I thought it was a range problem, and moved the router a little, and reset...

    HP C6380 - new behavior - reboot demand

    Okay, I bought it cheap on closeout, and it's chewed through more than $1000 in ink, so it doesn't really owe me anything, and it's worked just fine for years, but this is new: For unknown reasons, it accepts a print job without issue, then starts flashing all of its lights, and demands a...

    3 monitors on HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF PC

    <tangent> When VGA was the hot setup, I was running a CAD app on a Dell desktop with two monitors, and doing okay. Then the company decided that I needed to also run a CRM app, that was incredibly busy keeping up to date with everyone else in the company and doing whatever the hell it did. It...

    LINUX is Obsolete

    Modern C compilers can produce binaries that are faster than FORTH generated binaries. ... whether the binaries will do what you expect, and >not< do something you didn't expect, is a different matter.

    Delay during printing

    <tangent> I used to work for a medical equipment manufacturer. Back in those days we bought color dot matrix printers by the truckload, to include with our most expensive and fastest systems. The basic job was to print one page of mixed text and graphics, three times a minute, without causing a...

    Slow wireless - Intel AC2160 card

    I've seen similar problems when motherboards were set up to echo stdout to a serial port, so you could figure out what was going on even without a monitor. ... but that was decades ago, when motherboards actually came with serial port support.

    Customer doesn't care about anti-virus, running Windows XP

    Okay, he's a moron, and deserves what happens after he's been warned once. Just don't let him get too far behind on paying your bills. Too far behind in his case means a balance of a day or two; he should be on a cash on arrival basis with you.
