    Hello all Can anyone confirm if the PCI slot in the Wesena cases are full height? I'm looking to build a htpc around an EMU 0404 sound card which is currently in my workstation. Thanks Dan

    FreeNAS disk recommendations

    Thanks for the feedback. If you don't mind me asking how many WD Greens are you using. Like you say the NIC is likely to be the limiting factor so I'm guessing a certain number of, albeit slow, spindles should exceed the performance of the NIC. There will be some random IO ops but this will...

    FreeNAS disk recommendations

    Evening all, Been a while since I last posted but I've got my teeth stuck into building a FreeNAS box and wanted some advice on selecting disks... I've blown the dust off an old AM2 Sempron and motherboard and will chuck 2GB or 4GB RAM in so that I can run ZFS in software RAIDz1...

    Map network drive script

    Thanks bond but its actually resources located in a DMZ workgroup environment so a trust is not applicable in this case. I had a chat with one of our developers yesterday and he mentioned that it may be possible to encode/encrypt the credentials in the script so i'm waiting to here back on...

    Proxy - Filter Software

    Microsoft's ISA Server or Squid for an open source alternative are the ones that spring to mind. Out of interest what are you trying to achieve?

    Funny RAID error

    Assuming you have a working PC then download the diagnostics tool from here: http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n&pid=999&swid=30 Then burn the iso to a CD. Next boot your 'faulty' pc from this disk and follow the onscreen instructions to perform disk diagnostics. If you find a...

    Funny RAID error

    I'd run a disk diagnostics tool on the first western digital disk (port 0) as it appears to be this drive causing the problem. It could be that the disks s.m.a.r.t. functionality is pre-warning you about a potential problem with the disk. If it is the disk then it'll need replacing I'm...

    Map network drive script

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I am aware that I can lock down access to the script using NTFS permissions but surely to include username and password credentials in a script is not best practice!! Looking into this a little further i have found the "manage passwords" feature in XP which...

    Map network drive script

    Hello, I plan to map network drives in our organisation using logon (and logoff) scripts. This is fine but I am yet to come up with a solution for applying the associated credentials. Some of the shares are located outside of our active directory and require the user to "connect using a...

    D'ya think i've killed it?

    I'm thinking the CMOS jumper is a bit of a red herring as i've never seen a board fail to power up due to the CMOS jumper. Unfortunately though i still think it's a gonna! Anyone know where i stand with regards to warranty? I purchased the board back in 2005 and according to the MSI...

    D'ya think i've killed it?

    Yeah i'm a little suspicous... Coz it'll spin the fans up (but not post) with the 12v mobo rail disconnected, when its connected then it i get nothing. Tried two different PSU's, and disconnecting all but the essentials but still no go?! Dan.

    D'ya think i've killed it?

    Afternoon all, Yesterday i foolishly powered up my MSI NF3 NEO Platinum mobo with the CMOS jumper set to clear. Obviously the system did not post but after a couple of power cycles it seemed to completely give up the ghost (no fans, no leds, nothing!). I later noticed the position of the...

    Hi all, I'm looking to go away with my lovely lady friend in June of this year and, after flicking through a few holiday brochures, we've shorlisted Jandia in Fuerteventura as one of our destinations. The beaches look spot on and the idea of losing ourselves in this tranquil resort is...

    Enabling a wireless connection before log on

    Been stuck on this one for a while, and as yet have no solution to the problem. I would like our users with portable computer to be able to log onto our AD domain using their wireless connections, but without using cached credentials. At the moment I get an error saying domain is...

    Is this the enterprise or home edition of ghost? I very much doubt the home edition has support for AD.
