Still conflict, you could create a lot of cross talk. Would suggest spreading out the APs around the room and having channels 1 6 and 11 in use on the 3 APs. This gives the greatest chance of success with unmanaged APs.
-
We have an unmanaged system here, we can only use 10 -12 laptops before its unusable. Only way around it is to have different SSID's on the AP's and have the laptops connect to specific AP's rather than for them to find the strongest signal, it will evenly spread them then. As for the max number of clients check that there isn't any "load balancing" on the AP as some unmanaged ones just use this as a limit to how many clients they can have and don't "do" load balancing at all.

I had heard that the ash was between 30 and 35 thousand feet? Which is inside the climbing path of long haul jets.

Download the ultimate boot CD and burn to a disc. Boot and run a memory scan and HDD scan, it could be either but becuase of the slow boot I would think that it is more likely to be hard disc related. did you hear chugging from the harddrive? Or repeated knocking patterns? http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

Good choice with the desire! I really wanna get the desire im stuck with my TouchHD for a while! Android has been booted quite a few times though through Haret All it does though is make me want Android more though! It even runs faster than WinMo As for iTunes to non DRM the only way I have seen is CD-rw and re-ripped! So tedious! I have seen a program which makes a virtual burner and copies the tracks and re-rips them automatically. I will search for it as I can't remember the name!

You can get useful apps on Android like Google Maps, Facebook etc I have to say compared to WinMo versions they are so much nicer. I ahve never used the iPhone versions though. I am glad to see someone porting SCUMMvm to Android using the native code SDK
-
By that do you mean, can you waste a lot of time looking for useless apps on both phones? Answer yes Last time I checked the Android market had 20000 apps avaiable and that was at the last part of last year so it may have gone up since. Crapple Store has 100,000 although I would expect that to slow as Apple have recently introduced some tough lines on how they want the app store to be. Android seems to be the Free-er choice imho.

We have managed to get staff to use Fronter in the end. A bit of pushing is what is required. We are using it for revision mostly and more as a document storage facility than its primary purpose. I have created pages for all the subjects using templates and then they are just managing a tree of folders like explorer in windows. Not pretty or ideal but it works well for our requirements and considering its free its not too bad. There are definiately better solutions in terms of real VLE integration with schools, Moodle provides a much more solid VLE platform and has some really useful features but all of them require significant staff time to implement well. I would always first ask staff what they want from the VLE, ours wanted simple, and simple they got

Desire all the way! The app store is expanding, with free dev tools (eclipse + SDK) you can't go wrong! Getting your own apps published on the store costs only $25 as opposed to 99 for the Crapple store. Plus you have more techie coolness as you have a Linux phone. Plus it has animated backgrounds It isn't made by apple Looks better AMOLED screen Higher res screen

But then the pound has dropped hugely in value compared, so in proportion again it is actually at a similar price to the last 1.20 price hikes we saw. Blame the economy! In fact blame the stupid monetry system that we live in! Fractional reserve banking is not sustainable and just causes inflation, debt and only the filthy rich get richer.

... yes and he was quoting over 80% tax! Don't forget that fuel duty is not proportionate to the cost of petrol over time, wheras VAT is. All we are seeing in tax rises is keeping the same percentage of fuel duty in real terms, not an increase as some people see it.

Mmm iSCSI sounds interesting, we use Symantec Backup Exec would it be licenced for backing up the iSCSI drive also? (assuming we have a basic licence). Sorry if that is a dumb question!

I have seen the iSCSI option but I was hoping to set up something that won't need much configuration. Basically the machine is an old server (WAY overkill for a NAS) 2GB RAM 2x2GHz Xeons and RAID5 array for storage, but its gonna be chucked or be a storage server basically!! It doesn't need to be that fast, just reliable and easy to use. I will have to try Openfiler again tonight I think, I must have done something dumb! In what way does Openfiler behave better with AD than freeNAS? So far FreeNAS seems pretty well behaved apart from permission had to be set in the advanced security settings for the folders in Windows. Doesn't anyone use any of these for anything but backup? Just thinking here about concurrent connections... Thanks

Hello! I am doing some research on the use of FreeNAS in my establishment. We currently are storage short! The servers we currently have are small in terms of storage space and a NAS would be extremely useful. I need a solution which is reliable and usable on an RM CC3 system. How do you use FreeNAS? Do you just map the drive to a share with anon permissions or use local or AD authentication? Have you come across any problems using the system? I have tried to use OpenFiler but have found the interface less than appealing and couldn't for the life of me get it to connect to my test server at home whereas I managed to join FreeNAS to the domain no problem! Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

It will usually be becuase the COA is a "DELL" copy of Windows, as vendors will buy a large number of OEM copies and these copies are given a vendor code which usually will work on any COA but it looks like yours is one of the ones that doesn't. I would give DELL a call, that is unless you were supposed to make the disc yourself, which is becoming more common with OEM machines?
-
Mmm it won't be missing have you tried all the partitions and made sure that the Windows partition is marked as ACTIVE and BOOT? If you have an XP install disk you can use the repair option and type : fixmbr It should attempt to fix it. Then type exit and restart.
-
You need: English Super Grub Disk Windows fix Boot of Windows It will then list your partitions and this is where you select your main Windows partition which unless you have a backup partition should be the only one left

Ive never tried it from USB stick! I forget that netbooks don't have CD drives! lol SGD Howto make - Super Grub Disk Wiki. There is a guide on there for downloading a utility in windows and creating the USB stick w/ a bootable partition on it. (Under the windows title)
-
If you don't have the original XP disk to boot from, get a Super GRUB disc from online and boot to it. Then use the menus to auto repair your bootloader. All that has happened is your MBR is pointing towards GRUB which is/was on your other partition which is now gone. The XP bootloader will still be there it just needs to be pointed towards with the MBR. Super Grub Disk Homepage

From the ever reliable Wikipedia Mirrored set without parity or striping. Provides fault tolerance from disk errors and failure of all but one of the drives. Increased read performance occurs when using a multi-threaded operating system that supports split seeks, as well as a very small performance reduction when writing. Array continues to operate so long as at least one drive is functioning. Using RAID 1 with a separate controller for each disk is sometimes called duplexing.

Since I have been driving a lot I have started to listen to radio 4 while I drive in the morning. Now my gf thinks im sad lol

If its a job with better responsibility/ more progression/ better social opportunities then its worth it regardless. Plus 20 mins extra each way wouldn't break the bank, I drive 37 miles each way and I still have a good amount to live on Always looking for more but hey!
