Why did you get $20 for selling a used copy. Key word=USED. Physical discs degrade over time so makes sense that they sell used for cheaper. Digital goods can't really be "used". Besides when you can get games on sale with steam for 75% off who needs used games. Entertainment industry has...

Do be aware that if your XP boxes are using a second external DNS server they could be asking it for the 2000 box's ip address, and if it has a fully qualified name, it will ersolve to the external address.

As I said you need to ensure all the computers can see each other first. The gateway address only comes into play when you try to access the internet, and on your other computers, this should be set to the IP of the computer attatched to the cable modem.

Those speed tests look pretty good, you mentioned that it looks like your transmitting a lot of pakcets, sounds like a computer on the network either has a virus or is running a P2P app that is using all your upload bandwidth, hard to tell with the info you have posted, if your router has SNMP...

I don't know what's any good, I'm forced to use remedy :(

A screenshot would be useful, but it sounds like it's not initialised, you should be able to right click on the left hand side and click initialise.

No, but I will ask what way is your connection setup? Do you use a cable modem/DSL modem. Anyway the host computer probably has a seperate network adapter that connects to the internet, it uses DHCP and your ISP supplies you with an ip address AND a gateway address. You don't need to set...

If you don't know what to put in for the default gateway I'd say your problem is probably a lack of knowledge. The default gateway should be the IP address of the computer that connects directly to the internet. Keep things simple to start with. Set the computers up with static ip...

Any ideas?

I have a machine here with windows XP SP2 and a 15" CTX S501BA LCD monitor. I have tried 2 different drivers for this monitor but booting XP up in normal mode gives me an out of range message on the monitor and nothing else. I have to boot to VGA mode or SAFE mode. I think XP SP2 is...

If the connector is on the board, PLUG IT IN.

Yeh I like it. Just looks a bit too busy up the top with all the article links.

Well it's obviously an alternative. That goes without saying, how many other companies make X86 dual core chips??? THG has always given AMD the shorter end of the stick and this is no different. Waste of time going to that site.

I'm looking for the location of the registry entries for the local user accounts in windows XP home edition. I've got a hidden account I'm trying to expunge.

I've never had to do that myself, but it would be a problem if I did since I don't use floppy disks or drives anymore. They are antiquated. Tiny capacity, and unreliable. And few use them anymore. It is silly if you're installing XP and have to hook up a floppy drive to install drivers. I...
