Hi, this post is regarding a connection in the Castleford area. Users are finding that loading any content from the BBC is very slow, this is particually regarding video content using either iPlayer or embedded video content on news pages. The content does start to buffer correctly, then either does not buffer and says the content is not available, or it buffers a few seconds then has to stop for 10 - 20 seconds to buffer another few seconds, making watching the video impossible. I have tried this through an external connection and it works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

No just plug it into any port it does not need it to be on promiscuous mode that I am aware, I have always just plugged it in and off you go. D

Does anybody have a download link for 3Com boot services I cant find my Ghost Disk and need to setup PXE on our server. Thanks in advance.

We had a fire a few years ago at one of our schools and we had their Exchange and File Servers backup and running the day after at another school, we also merged school for a few weeks and had kids from one school in at 7am - 1pm and the other school kids in 1pm - 7pm, support for both schools was a nightmare!

Try follwing a few guides to make sure no steps have been over looked? Deploying printers using Group Policy

Cheers dude glad your issue it all sorted.

NP, remember to Thank or Give Rep to usefull posts ;-)

Have you looked at Exchange at all it may not work out as expensive as you think, it may even work out cheaper overall given you will be paying for a managed service annually, where as exchange is only a 1 off setup fee with a small recurring MS licence fee. So maybe a larger first cost by small oncosts as the years go by? D

Try turning of Cached Exchange Mode. Follow this guide. http://www.ctcd.edu/infotech/ctcitd/education/tech%20tips/email/disablecacheexchange.html

Yeah I did splash out a bit ott. I only use it for SETI , Video Editing and Photoshop :-)

Only tried it on one W7 install and it worked, that not to say it would work again though!

Why don't you go with your own Exchange system instead of an external company? I know I used to work at a school that had DigitalBrain for thie email system and it was a nightmare as you couldn't customize it at all, any changed had to be made by the support company, which needless to say took a while! D

Your not allowed, how come?

Something from this list should do? TOP500 List - November 2009 (1-100) | TOP500 Supercomputing Sites I now run a i7 965 with 12GB DDR3 2133Mhz on an Asus Board runs really well but is a bit pricey. Get in touch with one of the sponsors on here I'm sure they will kit you out :-) D

You should have got it deliered to work, you could spend all day playing with it then :-P

Why not use a script to deploy the printers once. Just keep it simple and it will work fine. You can run this remotely and it will add a permenant connection to the specified printer for who ever loggs on, wether pupil or staff. RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /c \\MachineName1 /ga /n "\\ServerName\PrinterShare" RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /c \\MachineName2 /ga /n "\\ServerName\PrinterShare" RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /c \\MachineName3 /ga /n "\\ServerName\PrinterShare" RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /c \\MachineName4 /ga /n "\\ServerName\PrinterShare" Or you can run it locally. RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /ga /n "\\ServerName\PrinterShare" D

No you do not need to put the script into the startup script it only needs to be ran once. I usually use Excel to concatenate the names of the machines into a script, copy into notepad and then run it with the machines turned on. Once the script has ran the printers will be permenantly added to the machine until they are removed using the same script but with the /gd switch in place of the /ga switch. D

I think we have been using the company many years probably 5 or 6, maybe more?

Do you mean if they are environmentally friendly, contact the Environment Agency if so, they will be more than happy to help. Telephone: 08708 506 506* (Mon-Fri, 8am - 6pm) D
