nitroshift

Since it is detected as sound device, did you try to manually install the drivers by giving the right path to the .inf file?

NOD32 if you want a paid A/V. Avast if you want a free one

I think I'll go this way: put 3 NIC's in the server, 2 will connect to the DSL routers and the remaining will go out to a switch that connects the 2 pc's and see if I can load balance the lines. If this won't work, I'll go with puntoMX's suggestion. Thanks guys.

Just had a thought... My neighbour and myself have a DSL connection to the internet each. I want to set up a box to connect to the internet using both DSL lines and share the combined link between us. Is it possible? Both connections are made through DSL routers.

In Computer management, did you populate the volume?

What codec(s) are you using? I'd recommend Shark007's utility or ffdshow.

At the moment the P35 series are leading, but there's a new chipset coming out soon from Intel. You might want to have a look at the thread I started http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=103306

See this thread to create a full memory dump of your machine: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=90244 then archive it and upload it somewhere on the internet. After all that come back here with a link for us to download it and maybe cluberti will pinpoint the culprit. Good luck!

I've got an advantage because the antennas are set up on the roofs of the buidings and see each other directly, no obstructions

Actually I decided to go for this one: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...Name=GA-P35-DS3 for which I will be paying 150 USD inc. VAT and shipping. @puntoMX 1. I am and will be using the pc for home (internet, beta testing, gaming - quite rarely) 2. 2 HDD's (the ones in my sig) 3. YEP!!! @nmX.Memnoch That mobo is not available at the computer shop i'm buying from (and have discount ) and the Q6600 is way outta my budget (410 USD inc. VAT and shipping). Funny enough, the E6750 is priced at 300 USD and the E6600 is 360 USD . I'm thinking of getting the E6750 instead. Thanks for your input guys!

I am looking at this mobo to make use of my RAM (see sig), CPU will be upgraded probably next month (E6600)...

I was looking at this: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=2546 What do you think?

Make sure you have ownership over the file itself and its location.

I've got the same type of antenna but it's gain is 40 dB and I use it to connect 2 locations 2 miles away in the city...

I guess it worked

NOD32 detects and blocks trojan intrusions (just make sure you have it up-to-date)

Have you tried to lower the screen resolution and refresh rate?

Go for the PCI card, as you can always replace the antenna with a bigger one

For a second I thought so...

I've never come across any DHCP settings for ICS in my experience... As TAiN suggested, the best route to go is either set static IP's on both machines or get a router. And I ain't a fan of ICS either

I always install games onto the secondary partition of my HDD and leave the system partition for Windows, drivers and programs only. Am I missing something here?

Where did you find DirectX 10 for XP? EDIT: Nevermind, found it.... Lacked a cup of coffee

And it stores it where?

I sorted it out guys. All I had to do is use the router as a switch while bringing the pc to the domain... D`oh!!! I feel really stupid now
