[H] Free Anti Virus
What is the best free, or inexpensive anti virus solution available?
Re: Jim --RE: [H] Network, Internet Settings
Step one, you know what DNS servers are for correct? If not, they tell your computer where www.sony.com is like so... C:\nslookup sony.com Server: ns2.radiantnetworks.net Address: 67.131.38.8 Non-authoritative answer: Name:sony.com Address: 160.33.26.10 Find out what the IPs are for cox and SBC Here is an interesting thread on Cox DNS servers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12922412 as you can see, I don't use comcasts dns servers. (read a bit into that thread) Step two is to set the computers you are using to use the DNS servers you have chosen to use in the network IP properties. I have get ip automagicly and manualy set DNS servers. Now if you are using two (different) internet pipes into the same network, that is a different monster and can't say that I would know how to get them to play nice together. I would think that that in itself could be problematic without a *nix box with three network card in between the LAN and WAN to bridge the two data pipes so that the LAN thinks it is just one pipe. Just my thoughts on this. I am not really sure. Back before I could get net via cable or DSL, I was getting IDSL which is a form of ISDN from a local company. they where looking into bridging two IDSL conections. So at that time I was looking at this stuff to get a heads up on it but It never happened. But that was the extent of my exposure.

But the years of feeling that DSL was superior to cable has proved me wrong. Besides Cox is light years ahead of SBC/ATT in terms of customer service. So I went with the SBC Download speeds up to 3.0 Mbps for $17.99 a month and Downgraded Cox to the Value service with speeds of up to 256 Kbps at $9.95 a month. That way the family can have some decent download speeds, won't have to change their email addresses. And SBC has some router issues in this area as she cannot connect to the School Systems message board unless I ping the location about 30 times first. =Equip with == Have a router/modem for SBC Running on local network at 192.168.1.xxx Have a router/modem for Cox running on local network at 192.168.2.xxx Also have a Network Printer on local network @ 192.168.2.24x Also have a NOS drive on local network @ 192.168.2.24x =HOW TO SET UP Should I change the address of one of the router so that each is within - lets say - 192.168.2.xxx?

[H] Strange Windows install problem
Ok, here's one I can't figure out. MSI K8N Neo4-F motherboard. System boots to PE and runs Burn-In Test Pro 4 with no errors. Hard drive passes SMART and BST5 tests. It passes burnin with make buildworld in BSD6. But it won't install Windows. It boots up to the point where you would normally see the screen to go to Repair (via recovery console) or Enter to install Windows, and it turns itself off. If I use OPK, it goes through the initial OPK steps to install configuration set, then shows the first Windows screen where it tells you there are 25 minutes to go, and then reboots and shuts itself off within a few seconds (I couldn't see what it screen it shut down at.) It's a SATA drive, and an NForce 4 chipset, so I can see the drive is DOS, but for the heck of it, I tried installing the NForce drives via F6, but no change. I can fdisk and format the drive in PE. Any idea? T

Am I right in thinking this means the partitions have been trashed? Do you know for a fact that you have the correct Adaptec drivers loaded when you run BartPe ? No I don't. But since I can read the first disk (all three attached to the same controller) then I assume the drivers are all right. Is that a mistake? T

RE: [H] Foreign disks in diskpart
There was raid0 in Win2000 You could try Undelete by active (a dos program) it will look for files and directories. Maybe you can gather enough bits and pieces to know where to direct your energies.

Be sure to let us know what you find out but until the bios of the machines are standardized to boot USB external devices the same way I don't see a solution in sight.

In my Disk Mgmt snapin Windows doesn't even know that my drives are in a raid array as it just shows one primary active partition. As far as I can tell in the Adaptec setup, there is no RAIDing being done. The only thing that would tell me if my raid is broken other than Windows not booting is the SIL Raid bios so I would think that situation would also apply to you. It's just too fishy that you have 5 disks that are suppose to be in some sort of array the 5 partitions are exactly the same size as the HDs. That has to be more than a coincidence if Adaptec is telling you there is no array then I would take that as fact. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com
