    Items on WiFi network not talking to items on wired network

    Thankyou so much Bremen! Bridge mode on the Tenda was the solution. I originally had it setup like that which is why I guess I've never had that issue before. Totally forgot to put it back in that mode after hard resetting the Novas. Wish I'd asked before messing around and using statics

    Items on WiFi network not talking to items on wired network

    Hi folks, hoping I'm doing something stupid here and there's a solution because it's slowly driving me mad! I've got various items wired into my network setup and if I leave them on DCHP automatic IP allocation they seem to either join the LAN range 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.5.1. Anything on the...

    Opinions on basket for upgrades (Rendering/Gaming)

    Appreciate any thoughts on changes/improvements to this basket. Use is for rendering/gaming and is missing some things like cases and GPUs as recycling some parts and read Nvidias new cards are coming out in Sept so assuming it's best to hold off for these? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x...

    Soundcard for headphones + speakers

    Currently have an Asus Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-E card, must be around 5 years old now at a guess. Never really had an issues with it apart from since going to windows 10, my microphone is extremely quiet even with boost on. Couple of questions A) Is this a common issue, I've tried the non Asus...

    Upgrade my heating to include smart thermostat?

    I only know of the one two way value in the airing cupboard, but that's not to say there isn't another one. The 2 way value I know about is in line on one pipe but above the value there is another pipe which looks to have a pump on it. I thought that was the prices I'd heard, could be wrong...

    Upgrade my heating to include smart thermostat?

    I can't see behind the boiler or from the side as its in a kitchen cupboard, taken the lower plate cover off where the temperature dial is and there is only one copper pipe leaving the bottom section, unsure if there would be any higher up. Would they likely be running from different parts of...

    Upgrade my heating to include smart thermostat?

    I'm sure it's no golden egg but it's got to be better than heating the hot water tank every time we need the heating on. I've never heard of anything like it, but then again this is my first house. The idea is not really about saving money, that would just be a nice outcome, it's more about...

    Upgrade my heating to include smart thermostat?

    Cheers, when you say it can cope with it, I'm hoping you mean it means we can have the heating on independently without the hot water? Sounds like Hive is a better option than Nest for us

    Upgrade my heating to include smart thermostat?

    Question - Can I get the likes of Hive or Nest? Current Setup - Traditional boiler and water tank with no thermostat Not long moved in and just had the 2 way value replaced as it was sticking. At the same time I found out that to have the central heating on we have to have the hot water on...

    Can't see files on hardrive

    Thanks chap. Tried Ubuntu and could only see the recycle bin and system volume folder on there. Seems a nice OS though... (Didn't install it, just used the try option) Managed to see all the files and copy them using the getdataback tool that you linked to so thanks for that :) What's the...

    MicroSD backup without a laptop/pc

    Wondering if there's a way to avoid either taking my laptop on holiday or ordering spare microsd cards. Currently have a 64gb but not sure how long this will last me recording in 4k. Is there a small device that can hold data off a microsd card without the need for a laptop/pc? Have a...

    Parted magic + black screen

    Ok, downloaded the parted magic ISO called "pmagic_2014_09_29", worked first time. How annoying, I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to get "pmagic_2013_08_01" to work. Not to mention the CMOS reset which resulted in me having to try remember all my previous bios settings for my overclock...

    Parted magic + black screen

    Ye I clicked the option to sleep within parted magic. It wouldn't wake back up, or it probably did but blank screened again. I don't have a cd I don't think to try. I wonder if i have a dodgy ISO, where did you guys download it?

    Parted magic + black screen

    Used rufus to make the usb. I got into it using the graphical option (can't remmeber the exact wording). Told me the drive was froze. Tried unplugging the ssd and going into erase again, didn't recognise the drive because it wasn't plugged in at boot I'm guessing Plugged the ssd back in and...

    I've put the ISO on a usb, I boot from it and it loads a screen with some options on a GNU Grub screen. I've tried a few of them and they just seem to result in a black/blank screen Am I doing something wrong?
