Hello again everybody.I need a comprehensive,yet simple source for PC and network troubleshooting steps.My personal troubleshooting guide is as such: 1.Check the physical. 2.Check the logical. 3.Check the possible. 4.Check the impossible. I really don't want to reteach everything that these guys...

www.tldp.org.....Has all the guides you need.Happy LINUXing.

Just wanted to tell all that assisted me in time of need....thanks very much.Just got my LINUX box (SuSE 9.1) all set up and it is freaking BEAUTIFUL!Tried to network XP and 98 on the same switch and it would not work,but with the LINUX box,I din't even need to install drivers....hold on while I...

Well,with dual channel RAM,you have to have two chips of the same specs,sort of like SIMMs,otherwise they will not work.As far as spelling.....I'm not really sure what U were trying to spell....LOL.

Just look at my signature....He who rules the DOS...rules the computer.You can bet your rent money on that action.The end users are spoiled by the GUI.And yes....I must agree...even Palpatine would have been impressed by THAT mind trick...LOL.

Sorry,just an afterthought.....Have you tried to go into CMOS to see if the RAM registers there?

This may b e a dumb question,but MrMarcDee....is the RAM you are trying to install dual channel perhaps?

U got that right.A lot of people download LINUX while thinking about windows and they are basically culture shocked by the differences.I have SuSE 9.1 and have it installed on this little toy Celeron and I have been experimenting with functionality,command line,and the like.....I have to...

Actually NIN,that's the whole reason I was making the switch.I and my partner own a business in PCs and networking and the techs that I've talked to said that LINUX was just about the most versatile and solid OS out there.I'm sure some people might not like it,but I've been talking to ALOT of...

Just installed SuSe 9.1 on my little toy Celeron for S & Gs.I've always wanted to explore the legendary functionality of LINUX.I am having trouble navigating though having done this somewhat cold turkey.Where is the device manager in SuSE?I'm also going to try to network the LINUX box up to a...

I have had problems with cable modem compatibilty with Belkin and Linksys....they just don't seem to play well with your average cable modem.Go get a Netgear,they seem very diverse and extremely solid.On Belkin and Linksys I've had all sorts of problems from unassigned IP addresses to...

Did I hear someone mention Compaq?Lordy lordy,please don't do that!Compaq may be good for little jeffy to cruise the net or maybe (with blessings from the digital gods) be used for Dad's taxes.....but,even with the HP merger,I would NOT use a Compaq for the kind of high end processing that you...

I may be wrong here,but you might have killed your drive.According to all the literature I've seen...the 1620 and the 1620 pro are practically identical.No Pro updates for firmware were available.Quite a few firmware updates can kill your drive even if it's the right one.I hope that I'm...

Now that is response!!!!Thanks to all for the info.Personally,I would like to use a hardware firewall for the security of the thing,but time does not permit and money does not allow right now.I've always used Zonealarm and haven't had too much trouble.I'm always looking for that "logical next...

Howdy all, I'm looking to improve my PC security.Always used Zonealarm,but if a better one is out there,I'm always on the hunt.Any suggestions?
