You could get a nice desk job writing fake exam papers without pencils and underpants! I'll sign a fake dismissal from service form right now (can you send me the pdf?)

I've seen this before on certain motherboards - usually gaming SLI rigs. The noise occurs when the CPU is overheating or the motherboard 'thinks' the CPU is overheating. As you've found, reseating with new thermal paste usually does the trick - unless you've got faulty components.

That is beautiful - will scatter across the school shortly! How much do you want for a complete set? English, Science - Latin would be fun! How will I make an official looking plastic seal?

Novatech which are Uniwill chassis. Cheap and I used to work for them so know the tech and aftersales.

A friend of mine got us two free crates of RedBull with this poem: (slightly off thread topic I know but it just shows how easy it is to please PR!) Sonnet for an absent friend... Oh when you are with me I can but smile - My lips curl upward in unmuted joy, My lifelong hopes are put on hold a while. All other tastes and scents can but annoy My senses, all alive to your embrace Of freedom tinged with mem'ries lost before I first knew you. Before your wings of lace Did carry me away - Oh I implore The gods, nay, one - just Bacchus - only he Can speed your journey and make swift your flight That better may you soon return to me And calm me in my lonely, you-less plight. For every night when hated slumber stings I dream of your return, my precious wings. She is teaching in Japan atm where Redbull is not so easy to find!

memtest/powermax all ok - I doubt it's incompatible an Intel 865PERL and 8139 NICs - you can't get much more standard! Damned thing installed this morning... too many things to do to worry about this (like banning people on goowy)

And some schools wonder why they can't keep good IT staff! I'm amazed that good IT staff will work for under 12K - commercial will give you at least 5k more. I thought pay was fairly standard across education.

It worked this morning so I tried another and the same - cannot create a partition. Powermax passes the hdd on everything. I hate computers.

Right. CensorNet simply will not get past the first part of the install. I've installed indentical NICs, zeroed the drive, disabled the onboard network, burnt two copies of the CD and it refuses to install. Earlier it worked - now it says that it can't create a swap partition. Not even if I say please... Grrrr!

Really? That isn't very much.

Thanks for the tip - I'd already found that webmin is best for me too - It's like Windows is engraved on my soul Wish me luck!

This is what I'm sure I've already setup - I'll start again (linux is so fast) with a fresh config file! Any recommendations on distro with squid / content filtering ready to go? I've tried Ubuntu-Debian and Mandriva - most comfortable with Debian

Do they need to be identical? Do both cards need to be connected to a switch?

The plan is to force all computers through the proxy, using it as the gateway, on a single NIC. If this isn't possible it explains all the trouble I've had!

I'm keep hitting a barrier with setting up a proxy server and I'm not sure where the barrier is. I've installed Ubuntu/Debian with squid and Dansguardian as well as (attempting) an installation of dedicated distros ClarkConnect and CensorNet. Hopefully someone can point out where it is that I am going wrong! I work in a training centre that is connected to the school (with a 1.2Gbps fibre) and I want to install a proxy on one of the old servers to see how effective they are at stopping my bandwidth being eaten up by flash games and chat sites. I cannot connect two NICs as I only have a single connection to the school. Ideally I would connect like this IT room <> proxy (squid + Dansguardian) <> switch and uplink to school With the installs I have done I get everything configured as per guides online, I get lovely 'It Works!' messages but the proxy seems unable to resolve any IP or connect me to a website. CensorNet says that it works with a single NIC but still demands two indentical cards and, when I ignore, it cannot create a swap partition... Am I just really unlucky or is what I'm trying to do just really stupid?

Why didn't I think of that? Sometimes it just takes someone else to look at the problem I guess- all ok now! thanks

Only problem there is physical location and weight of these things!

If I had some drivers I could - they're not on the HP website They're built into Vista. Can someone help me extract them?

Maybe I'm just doing something stupid - I can't get this to work! My desk PC is now running Vista Business and I can't get a printer on the print server (running server2003) to install. It seems that my computer can't use the drivers that are built in to Vista to install a printer on a server and the server obviously does not have the Vista drivers installed. Printers that I need are an HP2550n and HP1320 Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

We've found this works well for patch cables! Not sure about the girls' welding skills!

Linux then linux?

Then partition the drive - install Vista and then XP - should be fairly easy

A year 11 class have just, unknowingly, providfed me with details of another IM - http://www.goowy.com - just a head's up! Wish they'd put this much energy into sitting quietly and working!
