    Help me explain my performance issues with my macbook

    strange Ping responses

    the switch doesnt transmit much traffic at all. there are maybe 20 machines attatche to it which grab small text files for CNC machines once an hour or so. none of the machines are configured to allow for internet access by the machinists in the shops so the traffic is next to nothing. its...

    thank you both very much for the speedy replies. from the looks of it, the 1130ag's we already have deployed (roughly 25 of them) support SSID to vlan mapping. This would be an ideal solution, utilizing hardware for this distinction but I am a cisco noob and thus have no idea how to...

    I've recently hit a snag in our deployment of a campus wide wireless network. Our network it laid out such that our proxy servers hand out 172.16.xx.xx numbers to everyone. So anyone who plugs in to an outlet can put in their user name and password to access the internet (if they have group...

    External HD crashed. Need a good recovery app. Suggestion needed

    your best bet with this is going to be cracking the case open and extracting the Hard drive, this way you can hook it directly up to a computer via IDE. you might find you can read it like that

    Comp wont boot?

    from what ive seen in the past, that could be from several reasons. your PSU may be on its way out, this could be it struggling to provide enough juice. when you first turn on your PC it has to spin up your HD's and simultaneously charge all the capacitors on the board, it may take a weak PSU...

    System wont power on

    Ok, take it step by step. take out all the expansion cards, if your mobo has onboard video use that instead of the 8800's. using 1 HD and one stick of ram try booting. if that doesnt work try different sticks of ram. if you want to test your PSU, take a paper clip and short the green wire...

    Ghosted my old C: drive to a new one but can't get it to boot from new HDD...(XP)

    The letter of your drive is fairly arbitrary, dont worry about that right now. by ghosting, what do you mean? did you use Norton or acronis or something else? did you make an image and then image the new drive with it? did you clone your old hard drive? how new is the computer your working...

    Does this make sense?

    Monitor companys have a higher capacity for buying these things (not to mention R&D to design optimal ones for the screen). as a consumer you'd have to spend an arm and a leg for true digital switches, even decent analogue switches are expensive. the overall cost of your monitor would be much...

    Apple LED Cinema Display Question

    apple has always been all or nothing. your old system may work fine but this is what the newer generation brings to the table. upgrading macs has always been more limited than their PC counterparts, if you want this new monitor buy a new mac book. if your old one works fine buy an older monitor
