I have an old computer that is currently running XP at 2.1GHz Athlon AMD with 1.5 DDR RAM, would I be able to turn it into a dedicated server? More importantly, should I? all I have is a small home network running a couple desktops and a printer off one and connected by a wireless router to the internet, would it make a difference at all in processing speed or connectivity on any of them?

I have the WMP54G internal wireless adaptor. It normally works fine, but I have been having problems with it lately when I turn my computer back on from sleep. Even thought the wireless router works just fine, when the computer wakes up from sleep the adaptor does not seem to detect any network. I have to restart my computer, and then the adaptor detects the network.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a small network (1 server, 6 workstations, stand-alone, not connected to the main Company Network) "reinstalling" a Workstation. Re-imaging from semi-generic Norton Ghost image (4 of the 6 Workstations run the same programs with different addresses). I then had to reset the IP, the Computer Name, and then the Domain (I did it in that order).
I'm using Windows Server 2003 as the domain controller, and the Workstation is Xp Pro Sp 2.
The Workstation is using the same IP, Name, User as before, and they were working with the server previously (a program had corrupted prompting the reinstall).
The problem is that if I open windows explorer and type in the Workstations IP (\000.00.0.1) I get access to the computer. But if I go there and type in the Workstations Name (\Computer01) I get a "you may not have permission to use this network resource" error.
If I go to the work station, and try the same thing except with the Server's IP (\000.00.0.100) and Name (\Server01) I get access.
This Workstation controls an I/O device that is used by a program running on the server (most of the time, not while I'm doing the install of course) and the program uses the Workstation's Computer Name to access it.
As far as I can tell all the settings on this Workstation match the 3 that are running the same programs, but I could have missed something.
I'm a bit stumped by this, I don't normally deal with the Server side of the computers. I usually just set up the workstations to whatever Name/IP the Net-admins give me. But my bosses put me in charge of this little network, mainly because the Net-admins din't want to deal with it.
How to create a small computer lab. I own a private tutoring class and i want to expand into computer programing. I am planning on purchasing about 10 computers to begin with. However, i want go create a small server so that each student has their own log in id# and all their files are only accessed when they log in.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy wireless adapter keeps turning off randomly on my HP G60 120EM.
It will have my connection strength icon on the icon tray and then just randomly display an adapter with a red cross through it.I have made sure that the adapter is not set to turn off on power save but still the problem persists.I thought it could be the adapter being loose inside the laptop but if i give the laptop a small shake it doesn't disconnect and I opened up the laptop and everything seems fine.This is where it gets a bit strange. If I close the laptop lid then open it again, the wireless is fine, but will drop off again about a minute later.
I need to find a way to PERMANENTLY disable the network adapter from turning off to save power. Its this setting here. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Every time I restart the computer it rechecks that box. I manage an office with about 10 computers and this power saving feature is making the software they use very unstable.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using an HP pavilion desktop, and an apple airport. Whenever I connect my desktop to the router, it stops sending its signal out. It simply stops appearing on the list of networks. It comes back if I restart it, but then will disappear again after 10 or so minutes. I'm using windows 7, and a Belkin USB adapter. The problem appeared after doing a factory reset. While it is not broadcasting, there is a green light still on on the front of the airport, and I can see other wireless networks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm having a problem with my laptops wireless capability; it worked fine, until i tried a hardwried connection (i went over to this center and tried one and it didn't work, so i unplugged it).
Now, I can't connect to any wireless networks unless i do the windows network troubleshooter, which it tells me my laptops wireless capability is turned off; I then have to click on the option to turn wireless capability back on..
I have tried playing in change adapter settings in Network Connections, but nothing is working.. I have tried disabling the LAC and wireless adapter but nothing is working..
I also notice under Local Area Connection that is says "Network cable unplugged". Also in one of the tables of the windows network troubleshooter it shows Network cable unplugged and wireless capability is turned off.. Is my laptop trying to find the hardwire connection all the time so it turns off wireless?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe wifi/bluetooth on my Dell XPS M1530 with an Intel 4965AGN wifi adapter erratically blinks off and on, flashing the status on the screen. This began happening about a year ago, but eventually stopped doing it. Now it's begun again. Flashing on and off is intermittent, but it's been happening more and more frequently--5-10 times/hr now. Sometimes it just flashes on and off once, sometimes, more rarely, 10-15 times.
This happens in Vista, Vista safe mode, as well as Ubuntu run from a USB key. That leads me to believe that it's a problem with the hardware. If I turn the wifi switch on the side of the computer off, it does shut the wifi off; turning the switch back on turns wifi on, but sometimes as soon as it's on, the wifi/bluetooth will start blinking on and off on screen. I have tried taking the adapter out and putting it back in a couple times. This didn't seem to change anything.
System was running fine untill about two days ago. File and print sharing stop working. went to services and tried to restart "Computer Browser". It would not start due to a dependancy.

If I replace them with the new versions they are converted back to these files.I am running XP Pro SP3.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an ASA5510 connected to a computer running Windows 7 (the NTP Server) on its "inside" interface.Using the ASDM, I have configured the ASA5510 to use the Windows 7 as its NTP server (my architecture forces me to use a local machine as an NTP server):
-IP address: 192.0.99.1 (the ASA5510 has an IP address of 192.0.99.40)
-Interface: inside
-Key number: None
-Enable NTP authentication: no.
I have other Windows computers on the "inside" interface using the NTP Server, so NTP traffic is relayed without any problem. But somehow, the ASA5510 is not able to synchronize with the NTP Server.I see the following log entry:
-Source IP: 192.0.99.1
-Source Port: 123
-Destination IP: 192.0.99.40
-Destination port: 65535
-Description: Teardown UDP connection 3905 for inside: 192.0.99.1/123 to identity: 192.0.99.40/65535 duration 0:02:01 bytes 96
so it seems like the ASA5510 sends a request to the NTP Server, but I am not sure whether the reply doesn't get processed correctly, or the connection stays open too long (my UDP connection timeout is the default, 2 minutes).
I had trouble getting SonicWALL NSA2400s to use Windows 7 devices as NTP servers. I had to get a firmware version where there was no MD5 authentication (which I think is OK in this case), and change a setting in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/W32Time/Config/AnnounceFlags: from 0xa to 0x5)
My girlfriend's computer has quite suddenly developed the problem that the wireless card simply will not turn on.She has an Asus Notebook G60 Vx Series, which has a switch on the front as well as Fn+F2 for turning wireless on/off. Yesterday, she noticed it wasn't working even though the switch was "on", but was able to use Fn+F2 to enable it. Today, neither will work. It simply won't turn on.Ethernet works fine when connected directly to the router. Device manager detects "Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN" as working correctly and drivers as up-to-date.I feel like this must be a software/driver problem, but everything seems to be checking out. [code]

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a network setup on a Domain. Yesterday all computers were talking to one another correctly and were visible. We had a Linksys e1500 Wireless router when everything was running smoothly. We upgraded to a Linksys e3200 and swapped it into the system pulling the e1500 out.
No settings or configurations were changed on the server or any of the client machines, but as soon as the e3200 was installed and put in place all client machines on the network were visible to one another but the server was not.
After scratching my head and not having a suitable answer I decided to just put the e1500 back into our infrastructure and remove the e3200. Imagine my dismay when the server was still missing but all other computers were visible on the domain. Obviously the e3200 wasn't and isn't the issue, but it was literally the only change we made to our system in that period between... visible server and no visible server.
Anything I can check for a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard that has mysteriously vanished without explanation when it has been working fine for 4 weeks prior without fault?
