I am using WS FTP Pro, and I get the error message "no socket".

Anybody know the difference between the Linksys WRT54G wireless router and the one they ship with their "wireless G kit for notebooks" (WKPC54G)? The obvious difference I see is that the notebook one has only one antenna and I'm wondering why they would manufacture a new router design just for the ...

I recently reinstalled XP pro on my laptop as part of installing SP2. Since the install, the screen size during booting has been very small. By this I mean there is a large black border around it. This is normal for a clean install of windows; however, it usually corrects itself during the first ...

At my new job, they have their email server setup behind a VPN. I bring my personal laptop to work and can connect to use the internet; however, since it is a personal computer for security reasons they will not set it up to use the VPN, so I cannot access my email using outlook. They do have a web ...

I reinstalled windows on my laptop, and since the install the size of my screen during booting has decreased to about half the available area. This is how it normally looks when I install windows for the first time, but it usually adjusts itself after I run windows once. To clarify, I am talking ...

would that work since in this case? every data recovery program i have found thus far only works if the hard disk is assigned a drive letter.

hjm357

if i do a format, what are the chances of recovering some of my data? what is a good program to do something like that?

hjm357

I have the HD in a desktop, and can get the computer to recognize that the drive is connected (it reconizes it in device manager) but cannot get it to assign it a drive letter or have it reconized in "disk management" under administrative tools.

Are there any steps I can take now short of the ...

the DVD-r is only a 4 speed. How would I go about sharing it? Is it as simple as sharing the E drive on the network (like i would to share a folder)?

hjm357

are you serious about that freezer thing?

how is connecting it as a second IDE drive different than what I have connecting it as an eternal USB?

hjm357

I am building a computer to use as a sort of server in my house. It's going to share a printer and play music on my stereo, backup files, etc.

If I were to put my DVD burner in it, would I be able to share it so multiple computers could burn DVDs?

if i cannot get my computer to recognize the presence of the drive, how do i go about scanning it?

Here's a few more details:

The exact error message was "A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"
The computer is a Sony Vaio Laptop 900mhz running XP pro
I recently installed an IBM Travelstar 4200rpm drive to replace the 10gb drive it came with. The travelstar was in my computer ...

My girlfriend's comuter crashed the other day. While Windows was running it gave a blue screen error (she didnt know the message) and the computer restarted. Now it stops during boot and gives a disk read error message. I connected her HD to my computer via USB and cannot get my computer to ...

in that program, what do the processes called [System Process]:0 represent? I cannot access the properties of these. I ask because there are several of those whose remote address is my mail server, and a couple of things have made me suspicious that i have a problem with a virus/spyware.

hjm357

That's what i was thinking. I have already scanned my system with everything i know of. I also have email protection from norton.

Is there any way to check what i have been sending to see if my email has been hijacked?

Also, I recently noticed i was connected to this using netstat:

I noticed a while ago that my Norton Systemworks occationally showed i had users connected to my computer when i should not

I began to monitor this using netstat.exe and today saw the following connected:

is there a program that can monitor this and tell me who is connected?

What is the best program to montior what users are connected to my computer?

I am interested in this for this reason. I have been running norton systemworks, and have the "users connected" monitor on. Occationally there will be a user connected (i've seen up to 3) and honestly i do not what this ...

one possibly important detail i left out: the device is connect through a USB hub. if i have 2 potentially bootable devices, such as the HD & a floppy drive connected to the same hub, will this give the computer problems when booting?

hjm357

i didnt see anything about other boot devices, though if it is in fact doing this, that would explain why it still tries to boot from the HD even though i have disabled USB devices from the boot list. if i jumpered the HD as a slave would this help?

I have an external USB drive connected to my computer for storage. The problem is that when it is connected during booting, the computer will try to boot from the drive and will be stuck on a blank screen. I have set the BIOS so that it should not boot from USB devices. this did not fix it. Is there ...

its a cable connection that uses DHCP. as far as i know no option such as "keep connection alive" exists as the connection should never be terminated.

i have also called Charter about this problem, and their logs showed no low signal or connection problems w/ the modem. This is why i thought it ...

I have a motorola SB5100 connected to a linksys WRT54G router. Periodically, the connection will drop, and no computers will be able to access the internet. I can still access the router setup page, and under the status tab, the IP address, subnet mask, etc all read 0.0.0.0.

Does anyone know the voltage & current of USB & PS/2 ports? I have a device that recieves power only from a PS/2 port. My new laptop does not have a PS/2 port and I would like to know if I could simply use a PS/2-USB adapter so that the power will continue to work.

it's a Dell TrueMobile 1300 card.

hjm357

its an internal miniPCI wireless G card, honestly could not tell you the manufacturer, although many are for sale on ebay if your laptop supports it. Before I used a Linksys Wireless G PCMCIA card which I was very happy with. ALthough I would suggest that you not install the software that comes w ...

i also set the router to clone the MAC address of my PC, but have since changed that.

yes, I disabled SSID broadcast, setup a wireless filter by MAC address and disable internet access to 1 of the PCs by MAC address.

one of my wired devices is a linksys wireless media adapter, which is used to play music & show pictures over the stereo. it can connect wirelessly, but since it is ...

im not quite sure what you're saying with "block". could you elaborate a little?

i would agree, however, it shouldnt renewing the lease be automatic? is there any way to make it so that i do not need to reset the router to fix it?

I have 6 computers connected wirelessly and 2 wired to a Linksys WRT54G router. They were working fine for about 2 weeks, and recently about every 12 hours the internet stops working for all the computers and I cannot even access the router's setup page.
