  1. He said "As far as I can see" not that they "are". Be fair mate, everyone needs to make money and knowing Simon he's probably just cut his margins down to nil if you're competing directly with an Acer Outlet to save face from being beaten outright.
  2. Bit more info needed, is this vanilla machines onto a CC3/CC4 network?
  3. Compare ipconfig /all with a known working device.
  4. If you only have ou=staff,dc=chase,dc=local with the sub contexts does it work? (can't see what the next one is, guessing students)
  5. That's a bit random indeed. Can you show us the ldap page from moodle?
  6. If you create a new account in the sub ou does that work?
  7. Thanks everyone, enjoying a beer before next weekend when I'm off to Africa!
  8. Ah, fair enough. You could download an ISO and mount it on the server to get to the files that way, else maybe your host could put a CD in for you. I wouldn't trust anything I found on the net as being safe really unless it was from MS/etc.
  9. If you have a licensing agreement you may be able to download the CD's from MS. i386 is on the CD for Windows 2003.
  10. haha, thanks everyone.
  11. Check /etc/resolv.conf (or a mac equivalent) to see what the "domain" and "search" are set to.
  12. sorry fella, didn't see your update. Will post soon.
  13. Xubuntu is pretty good; I run it on my netbook. If you've already got ubuntu installed on them you can "help" yourself a little by apt-get installing xubuntu-desktop on top, not as clean as a fresh install but depending upon timings etc it might work OK for you.
  14. It was normal practice at my previous school yes.
  15. No problem at all
  16. I'm wondering if you're inadvertently running it on a date in the past (from say back in September before this data was in place).
  17. Like the sound of this! What spec's the NFS box in play? Is it doing anything else? How big is your ubuntu image? Is it on a gig feed? I'd get 10 of them connecting to it and look at the box itself, check it's I/O on the fixed disks and the network, see if its busy or not and apply some pressure to give it some grief. Having no swap to me is a no no, I know some people are quite happy with the amount of memory but I prefer knowing I have a buffer to give me time to upspec a box if necessary before the kernel starts chopping away at the processes.
  18. You'll need to provide a guide price mate or the mods'll remove it.
  19. Paypal because it means you don't need to give anyone your card number over the phone.
  20. Tends to happen if you're installing a 64bit version of the OS (Guest) on a host which doesn't have virtualization support enabled/available. (Check the BIOS if this could be the case)

    Borderlands

    Superb game, the missus completed it in a few days!
  22. Something's upset php/apache. Restart apache and look in the logfiles to see if there's anything in there about what it's problem is. Alternatively check the php module is being loaded from the config files.
  23. If you're after something free, consider internally hosting it.
  24. Do you have a scheduled task in place running the cron.php ?
  25. And apoth0r! Don't think you can escape that easily, facebook has your mark.
