[H] Question on managed switches

2010-07-14 Thread Thane Sherrington
I'm looking for a durable, 24 port switch, and I'm thinking I should go managed so that I can set some of the ports to have guaranteed amount of bandwidth because occasionally a machine of lower importance will go nuts and grab all the bandwidth on my current unmanaged switch (at least, that's

I use XP pro. Sorry! I use the FireFox browser. (v3.6.6) I use Foxit. (v4.0.0.0619) I use JAVA. (v6, update 20) I think I have a glitch with XP I have not been able to solve. I do not yet know why, but when I try to download PDF stuff USING FF, XP chronically defaults to C:/DS/ME/??/temp. I've

Check Tools | Options | General tab. Ensure the Save files to... path is where you want it (desktop, a downloads folder, my documents, etc.). Foxit is portable - it shouldn't require installation or any registration on the machine. Jamie On 2010-07-14 11:11 AM, DSinc wrote: I use XP pro.

Trying to re-install acrobat but keep getting message that a better functioning app already installed. Problem is that's not true as I have deleted the files so there must be a registry that is stopping the install. Any idea what/where key that should be deleted to allow installation? There are

Gary, SEARCH for anything /Adobe/. Delete all. SEARCH for anything /Acrobat/. Delete all. That should cover upstairs. Your choice :) Now do the 'above' in your Registry. Adobe can be really hard to kill and re-comply with your chosen install. It has a mind of its' own. And why I do

Thane, Well NO. It is NOT so much an OPEN business; though NOW IT IS. Never was, til now (Foxit V4, I suspect). Foxit always popped up and opened whatever online PDF. And I could SAVE TO, PRINT, or whatever. This may suck. I have already updated all of my LAN clients to V4 Foxit! This addy

OK. Even though my switches MAY be a f/w revision behind, I still will suggest the PowerConnect 2724 to you. With Switches, if they ain't broke, I don't fix them :) Mine work completely invisibly at 10base1000. No problems logged. JMHO. Best, Duncan On 07/14/2010 12:30, Thane

The path is in Firefox's options. Note, though that as Thane noted that you're seeing correct behaviour if you choose to open the PDF document instead of saving it to disk. It's considered ephemeral then, and won't be saved to your chosen location. You can choose to save it as from within

It seems unlikely that one machine could consume all backplane bandwidth, even on cheap unmanaged switches. Most all modern switches I've seen have non-blocking backplane bandwidth, which means that every port can be transmitting and receiving at full bandwidth at the same time without performance

Jaime, I did convert most of my client's SAVE locations. Not done yet. Yes, [saving to disk?], is what my original rant was about. I DO care for where XP chooses to PUT my stuff. I guess I expect XP to over-ride other choices. I am still learning that this may not be true. OK. I learn, or, I
