firedaemon will do the same thing. You can get it for free, too. http://www.firedaemon.com/ ------------------ Regards, clutch

I think it's cool. You have to look at the whole package though; it's a cool game with modern graphics and multiplayer that you can get for less than $20US (I got mine for $15). ------------------ Regards, clutch

Well, that was dandy. ------------------ Regards, clutch

It should perform the same, however it is *supposed* to have better support in CAD/CAM apps. While this is true, it is so because of a slightly different driver mod, and a few resisitors that tell the board it's a Quadro. These boards tend to run about $200 more than their regular geforce equivalent. One of the more noteworthy changes is the implementation of the back buffer. In the regular GeForce, the card tends to slow down after a few models are loaded in Solidworks (solid modeling app), while the Quadro doesn't have this issue. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Blah. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Or maybe www.rr.com for RoadRunner cable. ------------------ Regards, clutch

If you can "luck" into a job that will hire somebody with no experience and no education, then by all means take it. Those jobs are extremely rare, and they tend to lead to bigger and better things. However, the current "best shot" at getting into a job like this as a civilian is to go for technical education at a place that also offers placement assistance. If you decide to enter the military (US, as I am not sure how other nations select recruits) and get into networking, then you tend to have an even better shot of getting a good job afterward. In addition, the US Military will usually foot the bill for your certifications (a friend of mine got his MCSE while in the USAF this way) as long as you can show that they pertain to your job. Wherever you get your job, take anything they offer in terms of educational benefits. One job helped pay for my degree, and this one payed for my MCSE. Don't fall into the trap of only seeing the salary as what you are getting. I get to spend about $5,000-$10,000/yr on classes, and another $5,000 or so on seminars. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Are you formatting the drive as one continuous partition? The way I do it, is I make a 2GB partition, install NT to it, then make the rest another partition for all my programs and such later on. I will usually bump the CD-ROM in disk admin to E:, and then make the new partition D:. I will also format the new partition in NTFS using 4K clusters. I wont create the new partition until I install SP5 or later to get NTFS5 support. If there was a way to slipstream (integrate the service pack into the installable boot image) NT, you could just create one large partition for installation. ------------------ Regards, clutch

NP. Name resolution is fine now? ------------------ Regards, clutch

I have no idea what you are talking about, I do not use ICS. I am just referring to general IP setup, so I would "imagine" that the LAN adapter would have all of these settings (WINS, DNS, Gateway). If the client is getting its proxy info from the "internet adapter", then I would imagine it needs gateway info as well. I would suggest reading the help file for that issue. ------------------ Regards, clutch

I think he's running WinME. He was claiming it "Kicked A$$" or something... ------------------ Regards, clutch

As long as the ICS server has a static IP (which it should), then you should be able to enter that IP as the gateway and DNS IP for all the clients. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Nice way to splash back onto the board, sand. As for the WINS server IP, workstations will NOT find WINS servers any better than they would find DNS servers on their own. You have to enter the WINS IP into the client's TCP/IP properties just like DNS entries. In addition, go ahead and re-enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP as that is part of name resolution in case the WINS box is down. Once you do these, you should not have to manually create LMHOSTS on the clients. ------------------ Regards, clutch

There are others that I have seen, but here is one review stating that the GF3 has awesome 2D performance: http://www.avault.com/hardware/print_review.asp?review=geforce3 "2D Performance and Quality: This is the first Nvidia based card that provides us with high quality 2D images. Resolutions all the way up to 1600x1200 were crisp and clear with vibrant, well saturated colors. The color quality and clarity is right there at the very top of the heap with ATI and Matrox. Speed is not as good as we would have liked, but it was within acceptable ranges." If I can find the other two that I read before, I will post the links. ------------------ Regards, clutch

BTW, why do you have 2 domains running? ------------------ Regards, clutch

Do you have the IP of the WINS server in the TCP/IP properties of all the clients? If you are using DHCP (preferably NT/2K server based), do you have the IP of the WINS box in the assignment properties for the clients? Try IPCONFIG /all from the command line in NT/2K clients, and WINIPCFG from the run line in Win9X clients to see if your WINS server is showing up on the client's properties page. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Win2K...GOOD! Win9X...BAD! ------------------ Regards, clutch

I assume that you are using the Win2K boot manager. If so, do a search for "boot.ini". This has been covered here before. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Cool. ------------------ Regards, clutch

ITT is fine, and I have found jobs very easily in networking even though it's an electrical eng tech degree. However, for their accreditation, they have some of those "filler" classes as well. A B.S. is fine if you have the time for it (I may go for mine, since my job would pay for it), but for me I really needed to change career modes fast. In addition, the only people that I have seen with a use for the B.S. degrees have been programmers and some IS managers. Most of those degree programs do not focus very much on the actual technical aspects of networking, PCs, programming, and Operating Systems and rather focus on "management" of a department. Such as budgeting, scheduling, ERP (to some extent) with a minor focus on true technology. Also, along the way in a technical college you can get prepped for various certifications like the MCP, CCNA, and A+ certs to make it easier to get a tech job. Two things to remember wherever you look for a school though: 1. Make sure the equipment is up-to-date (and that there is a lot of it), and 2. Try to get a hold of current and past students to see what they are doing. In addition, you can check their placement success and see what current job postings are like from various companies. A lot of companies like to "sponsor" local tech schools in an effort to get their foot in the door for the best and brightest students. The schools will tend to host job fairs and have area companies come in to show what they do and list what they are looking for in candidates. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Let it map the drive on its own, then right click on it and select disconnect. That should keep it from coming back. ------------------ Regards, clutch

15 posts per page, so you need 6 more after me to get the new page.... ------------------ Regards, clutch

Nope. The betas had expiration timeframes (like 120 days) before the OS would "run out" and not boot any longer. That is why he mentions he has no timeout on his. The retail/RTM versions are like any of the other released OSs from MS, and only need a key to activate it. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Just so you know, it's not up front. You can pay by semester. And yes, mine was $21,000, but for 108 credit hours (vs. the usual AS which is about 60 credit hours). In addition, you can get your BS in 3yrs, and in some courses get your Masters in 4. ------------------ Regards, clutch

A tech school is a good way to go, as you may be able to get your certs there too. In addition, they usually have placement services to get you into your first job. A lot of these schools offer varying schedules so you can keep your cuurent job, and you can get loans to keep you in your classes. I went to ITT Tech for electronics, and wound up getting a position as a Hardware Spe[censored]t for PCs because it was my hobby. The job was advertised at the school, so I applied and got it. Now, in my current job, I am the IT Coordinator and I get to play with toys all day long. Understand something, there is a STRONG possibility that will not make a large amount of money for a while. But if you want to have a rewarding career, IT is a good way to go. Also, if you can, get into a position that allows you to play with a lot of different things (like network admin, PC tech, databases, and such) so you can get a well-rounded start in the business. ------------------ Regards, clutch
