I am basing it on experience. I have had my two IBMs and worked with others, none of which failed. I have had a few Maxtors of my own along with others at work and seen some of them fail. I haven't heard of IBM GXPs overheating until now. The only drive that I have seen fail more than the Maxtors have been Seagates (IDE and SCSI). ------------------ Regards, clutch

I am not sure I follow you, but it appears that you may have it worked out but not know it. The "outside" address is at the A-node of the router right? And the B-node is 192.1.1.4 right? OK, all that you need to do is to configure your NAT server to forward all traffic to your web server on the inside. Here is how my home system works: 24.112.22.54 is the outside IP of my router 192.168.1.1 is the inside IP of my router. The router has built-in NAT functionality, and it forwards ports: 20,21,25,80,3389 to Server-1 (192.168.1.200) 22 to Server-2 (192.168.1.201) 27960 to W2K-1 (DHCP reserved at 192.168.1.11 for easy config changes) I put all web page info on Server-1, and I can access that server at 192.168.1.200 on my internal network. The website appears using the same web address as it would from the outside (www.driventechnologies.com) since I am using DNS on the inside of my network. The NAT of my router will work the same way as the NAT of your Proxy server. If you need further clarification, respond here or email me. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Wow! That is a lot of settings! What are you controlling with all that info? I only use login scripts for drive mapping and SMS client installation (and some file updates on the local machines occasionally). I use poledit.exe (Policy Editor) for my lockdown functions. Native Win2K (AD in particular) has a far more powerful Group Policy funtion, but it doesn't look like you are AD just yet by your question. ------------------ Regards, clutch

It worked on my TNT2U. I used the same reg file on my TNT2U, GeForce SDR, GeForce GTS Pro, and GeForce Ultra. ------------------ Regards, clutch

ServerMagic from Powerquest supports RAID natively. Give it a look: http://www.powerquest.com/servermagicnt/index.html ------------------ Regards, clutch

So that's what the statement is about. This guy left a Q3 game last night and posted "All your base belong to us". I had no idea what that meant (not that I really do now, either, but this is a step in the right direction). Thanks. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Have you tried to install the service pack to correct some of the file damage? You may want to install the service pack and then reinstall the drivers. One dumb question; is it by chance an evaluation (or hacked/cracked) copy? The regularity you mention is just kind of odd, that's all. I have heard of expired eval copies of NT rebooting every 6 hours, so I don't know if this applies... ------------------ Regards, clutch

COM3 is *supposed* to be a redirector for COM1 resources. The software/drivers for the modem should configure the OS for this, but it can still be an issue. If that was the way it installed, I would just leave it for the moment and try the other option you are referring to (keep it simple for troubleshooting purposes). ------------------ Regards, clutch

I use a Linksys 4-port router. I firmly believe in the use of seperate routers rather than servers due to the "waste" of hardware and overhead. I know that proxy servers are useful and can work well with firewall software, but when you can do the same thing effectively using a $140 piece of hardware, I would just go with a router. In commmercial situations, I would still go wtih a router due to the overhead placed on the server with high traffic. That server winds up being a very expensive router that has to be rebooted, needs service packs, and can suffer various exploits of its software. While "hardware" solutions may not be perfect, they come a lot closer than a seperate server would. BTW, you can get all the functionality of your server using the router. The only problem I have had with this particular router was hosting Quake 3 servers. But since there isn't a need for it, I don't really care. I do host an Exchange server, Web/FTP servers, and Terminal Server without any problems. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Plus, I *believe* winmodems cannot use COM1 or 2 due to the software interface, and thus create their own COM port (usually 3,4,5). I had a USR Winmodem a long time ago, and it always created a COM3 to work on. If I use modems now, I just get externals (Courier, V.Everything, etc). ------------------ Regards, clutch

This is from http://www.bankruptcylawclinic.com/~dwhite/184rept.html the second link that SHS recommended. "The MultilinkPPP Protocol MultilinkPPP’s ability to combine multiple lower-speed links into a single, higher-speed data path often referd to as WAN-independent or packet-based inverse multiplexing. A regular multiplexer ("mux") takes one signal and splits it into multiple signals. An inverse multiplexer takes multiple signals and "bonds" them into a single, usually stronger signal. Inverse multiplexing modems can bond multiple analog telephone lines to double, triple or quadruple the speed of a regular modem. This process is also referred to as, multilink, channel aggregation, channel bonding, load balancing." This is the part I was addressing: "Inverse multiplexing modems can bond multiple analog telephone lines to double, triple or quadruple the speed of a regular modem. " Therefore, 56k+56k=112k using the channel bonding (load balancing, multi-link, whatever) technique. I originally thought that Load Balancing was merely a method for finding best path, and not for bonding. However, in this article it states that they are one and the same. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Not a stupid question, and yes there is a strong possibility they will work together. I have run 2 PC133 sticks with a PC100 stick (128MB ea) at 133 and not had any problems. Just bear in mind that it's like anything else you overclock; mileage may vary. ------------------ Regards, clutch

I don't think that terminal services is available on Pro, and it wouldn't access everything that's running on a system. You will only see what processes are running in your context, whereas something like Exchange wouldn't show up. Now, if you run the Terminal Services Manager on the server you are connecting to, you can expand the server you are on and get to the "console" portion. In there, you will see a list of all the system processes running and their IDs. In this case, you could use the "Kill" utility from the NT Server Resource kit and end the process using its PID. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Channel Bonding=Multi-Link in 98 and 2K (like the Diamond "Shotgun" modem) for most of us modem users out there... BTW SHS, in your second link, it states that load balancing is the same as channel bonding. Doesn't that counter your statement? ------------------ Regards, clutch [This message has been edited by clutch (edited 16 February 2001).]

Son_Gohan: Here's a couple of links for ya: http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/sacd/static/faqs-faqs.html http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/sacd/static/download.html And here's the search link that has these and a lot more: http://www.sony.com/cgibin/search.cgi?col=sony&qs=super%20cd&nh=10 ------------------ Regards, clutch

Weird, the Maxtors have always been noiser to me. I just get IBMs now anyway, but the Maxtors/Western Digitals are fine. BTW, get more RAM first. ------------------ Regards, clutch

I read that it will be Visual Studio.NET, but not a lot more about it. I thought it would be out by summer, but I am not sure. ------------------ Regards, clutch

The cache mod doesn't apply to PII processors or newer. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q183/0/63.ASP As far as the swap file goes, unless you are running some memory intensive applications (CAD/Solid modeling, Database development, compiling, etc) I wouldn't recommend going over 250MB. In addition, have you checked for any BIOS/driver updates for your hardware? There may be some updates that would help you out. ------------------ Regards, clutch

In a single pass playback of the master, vinyl *may* be better than a CD. However, you have to copy from the master to other albums to make them. Just the friction alone wears off the higher frequency cuts that you mention (that's if the needle-arm assembly is sensitivy enough to work with it). After multiple passes with normal-above normal equipment, you will lose quality of the recording. In addition, whatever signal you get from the vinyl has to pass through an equalizing amp, which in most systems is a class B switching-type amp and will pass it's own noise down the line. Now, if you get a high-end turntable/needle/preamp/amp combo, then you may get several passes of the album that are better than CD (provided there is no dust in the environment). But for the price, I would rather get a Super CD player from Sony, and just not worry about it. Oh, and as far as near-CD quality of 128KBPS, how many people in this forum have the equipment that could faithfully reproduce anything higher, let alone hear it if they did. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Yeah, his terminology was a little confusing. I have always reffered to accounts as an object (and that is how I hear of them as well), like in User Manager or Exchange Console. Profiles have been settings and files that can be based on preferences of the user or staff. Oh well. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Smaller installation footprint, and policy inheritance functions from the OU level to make the new super-ultra policy manager a little easier to assign objects to. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Kick A$$ bud! ------------------ Regards, clutch

I think this one was covered on here already, but congrats. ------------------ Regards, clutch

Did he mean user profiles or user accounts (as in security)? ------------------ Regards, clutch

The GeForce DDR has similar performance to the GeForce MX, so I wouldn't bother getting it. Both will be bottlenecks compared to your CPU. As far as the Radeon and V5, I would base that on if I had a DVD-ROM. If I did, the Radeon would be a much better choice for the playback ability. If not, I would probably get the V5500 for the FSAA. ------------------ Regards, clutch
