  1. He looked for "Google Phrase", and "Subnetting" would have led him to tutorials like this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetting

    If I missed the point or got it wrong, I`m sorry.

    That's great, except that's not what he wants to do at all and sending down that road when it doesn't involve anything he's doing will simply add to confusion.
    No.....No DHCP.....Everything will have an asigned address.....One network will have a DSL modem and several more computers on it. Those computers will be only on one of the two networks and it is the network that I do not want to be able to share files on.

    I'm just going to try it because I think it will be as simple as disabling "File And Printer Sharing" in the properties of one network and enabling it in the other.

    But I'm not sure..... :rolleyes:

    OH.....And I couldn't really see what this had to do with subnetting either.....But I now know where to find lots of calculators I don't need :thumbup

    That's pretty much it. If you're using DSL on the first network, for the purpose of this explanation, I'll assume you're using a router and that it's address is 192.168.1.1

    For each network card in the first network, assign a static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and use 192.168.1.1 as the gateway. You can also use either 192.168.1.1 as your DNS or something like 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS).

    Now for each network card in the second network, assign a static IP address in the 192.168.2.x range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Leave the default gateway and DNS entries empty.

    Now, in the network connections folder on each computer, go to Advanced Settings in the menu (under Advanced). For the first network card, ensure that "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" and "Client for Microsoft Networks" are unchecked, then for the second network card, ensure that both of those options are checked. Also, use the up/down arrows next to the "Connections" list and move the first network card so it's above the second. This allows applications such as your webbrowser to check the internet before trying to search the 2nd network.

  2. That is true, but we can't always assume that people will always buy "new". I find it's quite frequent that people will ask friends before buying new and, often, friends tend to have "old" stuff laying around.

  3. @g-force : Umm, subnetting has nothing to do with what he wants. Please take the time to "read" the question properly before answering.

    @sober_pollock : The question is... to DHCP or not to DHCP? In other words, is there going to be a router on each network? Also, what is the goal that you wish to accomplish by having a second network for file sharing?

  4. Well actually, I find it distracting seeing signatures that only go halfway across the page. :)

    It seems.. untidy. But, each to their own, I am not going to argue with the powers that be.

    Quite so... signatures are a question of taste. For someone who finds signatures distracting, I'd say yours is awfully distracting and reminds me of advertising every time I see it.

  5. To be clear, both a hub and a switch will work. A switch is prefered (and is not more expensive) as its performance is far superior to that of a hub.

    Both act as "network splitters" if you wish, however the difference between a switch could be compared as the difference between a highway interchange with no lights (fast and non-blocking) [switch] and say, a train roundhouse (slow and blocking) [Hub].

  6. Are you high?

    First of all, you may want to refresh yourself on what an operating system is supposed to be.

    The popularity of nLite and vLite demonstrates how sadly alone you are to complain that Windows 7 does not come with Windows Movie Maker. People would rather have the choice to install what they want then to have a bunch of bundled crap that they don't want and have to try to hack out. Anyway, what the hell are you complaining about? It's available as a FREE download! If you're too lazy to do a couple of mouse clicks to download and install it, maybe you should go use a one button Mac and forget about Windows.

    And on top of that, people complain that Microsoft's a monopoly and consistently sue them both in the USA and in in Europe and then complain when Microsoft gets their hands tied and can no longer include anything! You might want to take a shower and rinse the brown out of your eyes.

  7. @Maleko:

    Boot the computer with all devices plugged in and turned on.

    So that it lists :

    1st - USB FreeAgent 500GB

    2nd - USB FreeAgent 1000GB

    3rd - SATA 500GB

    4th - SATA 250GB

    5th - ATAPI CDROM

    Enter the BIOS, make sure in Main => Storage Configuration that configure SATA as is set to RAID. If it is not, hit F10 to save the settings, reboot, re-enter the BIOS and confirm that it is saved correctly.

    Now, go into your boot devices and change it to :

    1st - ATAPI CDROM

    2nd - INTEL RAID

    3rd - USB FreeAgent 500GB

    4th - USB FreeAgent 1000GB

    5th - SATA 500GB

    6th - SATA 250GB

    Save it with F10, reboot and confirm that it's been saved as such.

    If after rebooting you have confirmed that the settings were correctly saved, NOW you can set your settings to:

    1st - ATAPI CDROM

    2nd - INTEL RAID

    3rd - Disabled

    And that should work.

  8. win7 is a little faster, not amazingly.

    driver support? win7 and vista use the same drivers..

    and obviously win7 RTM is better than vista RTM since many bugs have been fixed since its essentially the same OS.

    Windows 7 is much faster. The memory footprint has been reduced, the prefetcher was completely rewritten, Windows 7 does an amazing job at caching and can be both nimble on a netbook as well as a performance beast on a good machine. Windows 7 and Vista use similar drivers but they are not the same. Vista was based on WDDM 1.0 and Windows 7 uses WDDM 1.1. Not to mention the fact that Windows 7 drivers can now be unloaded, updated and reloaded without rebooting. Other then sharing a common kernel and API set, they're completely different. Windows 7 was written as a modular componentized operating system which emphasis on performance every step of the way. You could read Engineering Windows 7 before posting such insipid replies.

  9. Working fine for me in Firefox...did you try the usual "cleaning of the attic" steps?
    Yes, it's nothing to do with me.

    I did some further inspection with Fiddler and discovered that this is SEO related. It's a bizarre combination of rewriting that's causing issues for IE it would seem.

    Using this thread as an example...

    The last post link points to /board/last-post-t137158-l.html which returns

    HTTP/1.1 302 Found
    Location: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858

    In turn, /board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858 returns

    HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
    Location: http://www.msfn.org/board/archive-windows-98-forums-permanently-t137158-pid-878858.html

    Now, following /board/archive-windows-98-forums-permanently-t137158-pid-878858.html finally yields

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    Ironically, if I paste /board/index.php?showtopic=137158&pid=878858&st=0entry878858 directly into the address bar, it'll work as expected. So something with the initial 302 is causing the failure. I'm also sort of confused as to why there's a double redirection going on.
