For anyone intrested the difference between the status's is avaliable here: http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=nav.00100e004

Are none of your other machines short on RAM and have spare (compatiable) RAM slots?

Audio driver's allegedly avaliable here: http://club.vaio.sony.co.uk/clubvaio/GB/en/forum/viewthread?thread=49761&offset=0#236778 Also allegedly these are the video drivers: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17320 You could also use CPU-z to work out what the drivers are then find them on driverguide or similar. Reference: http://club.vaio.sony.co.uk/clubvaio/GB/en/forum/viewthread?thread=49761&offset=20

Glad you got it sorted, there is also this avaliable for free: http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/ Cheers Jona

Might be an idea to write how you did it for anyone searching for this in future... Jona

Are you not just seeing a side effect of this issue?? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7509&highlight=unplugging+network+cable http://www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5232 Cheers Jona

I think your in a pretty strong position since the top 3 sites in your screenshot are all advertising, etc. In fact most of the ones in that list are. Perhaphs you should get your NM to run a log on his own internet usage to show the use of advertising / searching engine tracking / etc. As far as I can see you went on dabs, nzhearld, google, ebuyer, microdirect, edinburgh.gov.uk. It would seem that most of these arfe justifiable and work related...?? Cheers Jona

This is more of a work around than a solution but you could encode it to base64 http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-encode.php and then decode it when you pull it out of the database http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-decode.php

I assume based on the mac address, of the machine, some may support a default vlan, if the mac address dosn't match. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the thing to recognize here is that putting machine's on different domains dosn't mean they are on seperate networks (at least at a TCP/IP level). So there is no reliable way (that I know of) to tell the machine's which DHCP server to use so they will probably be allocated IPs randomly. DHCP is a very low level protocol and kind of half the point is that you shouldn't have to specify the server. One option is the VLAN route which does create seperate networks, although this may give you problems elsewhere and your equipment (switches, etc) has to support it. Another would be to use one DHCP server and assign ips based on mac addresses, or something.

This is all getting rather abstract but in my example laptop was the id of the database record about the laptop I suppose really it should have been in quotes ''. [laptopid] would be the unique identifer (primary key) field of the laptop record in the table laptoptable. Talking about checkboxes isn't that helpful as you need to know what's going on in the underlying database. A checkbox could imply a boolean field so it would be something like update ...... SET [booleanFieldThatIsSourceOfCheckbox]='True'; But you've mentioned date so I think you need to take a look at the underlying database tables. If you look at the state of a specific record first then do the check box and see how the record changes that should give you a good start. Cheers Jona

getDate works in MSSQL, the my-sql equivlent seems to be curdate(). http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html. But if your doing it from a front-end it maybe easier to use that to generate the current date. To address another point of the OPs, once you write it to the database, it won't automatically update to the system clock so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

I thought this was the whole point of Virtual Machines, so unless I'm mis-understanding you I'm pretty sure VMware can do this too.....

The SQL command you want is something like UPDATE laptoptable WHERE [laptopid]=laptop SET [date]='06/02/2008'; ref: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_update.asp but with out knowing more details, I can't really help any more (table name, schema, sql server type, client language, etc). Cheers Jona

Some help here http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t36971.html and also here http://www.msfn.org/board/Picasa-install-anyone-t22697.html Looks like you have to repackage it.

Is it not possible to set a root password?? Also I believe you can strip the default OS off and put ubuntu on which might address some of these issues.

We use an atom feed here and a publication date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:00:00 GMT on each item. You might also need a unique GID. Apart from that I'd suggest go back to basics try setting the source to be the bbc rss feeds and see if they update or use a feed client like thunderbird to see if they are successfully pulling down your feed. Cheers Jona

Depending on the type of feed protocol you are using have you updated the publish date? This might show you want your doing wrong: http://feedvalidator.org/

Shouldn't do, I know for a fact that xampp (apache friends) dosn't. I would imagine none of them do as there designed for a linux enviroment where you don't want to reboot everytime you install software. Cheers Jona

It should be perfectly possible to run both server stacks side by side but obviously you can't run them on the same ports. Apache and IIS will both want to run on port 80 by default so you'll have to change one to another port and then access it via servername:newportname Cheers Jona

I think linux box is the way forward for flexability, be sure not to buy a cheap win modem as that will cause you all kind of pain.... There's a rough guide (for debian) here: http://www.aboutdebian.com/fax.htm If you don't feel you've got the expertise to set this kind of system up there are a number of online alternatives: http://tinyurl.com/2p5d5p http://tinyurl.com/38h6er (Standard never used them, just know of them disclaimer, other services are avaliable...)

Could it be the same problem as described here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14314 ?? If so not sure what you can do about it. Cheers Jona
