    Can't resolve DNS

    in Networks and the Internet

    Posted

    if you ping another client pc by hostname, what is the IP address that it returns?

    if I ping hostname 'leab' I receive:

    88.200.110.x

    there must be some other device between you and the internet, maybe a router with fully featured NAT or something?

    I think so too.

    what DNS Servers do the 2 machines have? the same? or different?

    I will output the IPCONFIG /all command

    Printer disappears on reboot

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Hello all

    I have a HP Photosmart D5160. But the problem is that when I reboot Windows XP the printer disappears from "Printers and Faxes" and thus I must reinstall the drivers at every reboot.

    Print Spooler service is set to Automatic in does start on every reboot.

    I tried latest drivers from HP and even the drivers from Windows Update still the same problem.

    ps. This issue has started to occur when I did some tampering with the registry :realmad:

    Really hope we can fix this issue.

    Regards,

    so much unused RAM

    in Windows XP

    If you want to make use of that extra RAM for a good cause, join the MSFN Rosetta@Home team. Your system will crunch data on idle CPU cycles and make use of all that spare RAM. ;)

    If you're worried about a performance hit, I've found that I get about a 1-2% performance hit when running Rosetta@Home while doing everything else (XviD encodes take about 6-7mins longer on a 4 hour encode). It's really not enough to make it noticable, but you're helping a good cause. :)

    I just want to use the extra RAM for faster application launch something similar that LINUX has. And I find it ashame that it does not get used all of the time. And also if I would be running such an app my FANS would be on FULL speed since they are temperature controlled and I like my PC as quite as possible.

    Or SETI@Home... :whistle:

    But what I want to add to this thread is that under Unix systems (FreeBSD specifically), any unused RAM is allocated to the cache. So if you are using only 512MB of RAM in a machine that has 2GB RAM, then the other 1536MB RAM is used for cache. The kernel will keep between 1-5MB of memory free though in case a program does a memory allocation. But, if you load a program that wants a big chunk of memory, then the kernel will start dumping the cache pages to free up memory. If the cache page is marked dirty though, then it's flushed to the disk and then freed. The latter situation doesn't happen too often though because there's a kernel level process that scans the active memory pages looking for any that are dirty and sends them to the disk.

    This is where I got the idea in the first place about utilizing all of the available RAM on Windows XP also.

    You may find this interesting.

    :hello:

    But that site is only for 4GB problems on 32bit system. I fail to see the relevance here

    RAM DRIVE is bad because I would have to manually copy it everytime and also it doesn't free up RAM when needed.

    Firefox was just an example of what I would like to achieve.

    Since I usually have 600MB RAM free which does nothing I thought that a program existed that would fill the empty ram with the data that are most frequently used from the disk. And so the next time I would launch a program it would already be in the RAM and thus would startup instantly

    SUPERFETCH is a myth right?

    And also putting /prefetch:1 is a myth since Windows does this automaticly when lunching certain apps.

    But I am talking of something that would load the whole executable into memory so it would launch only from RAM and wouldn't even need HDD. And it should copy the frequently used application into free memory and also delete them from memory if the need for more RAM arises.

    Does such an app exist in windows?

    its a shame that this site went down. I used to love Bashrats driver packs. I already reported the thread and will see how thing evolve

    What made you to stop loving Bashrat Driver Packs? Those are still available at http://driverpacks.net/ ? Or maybe i misundestood you ? ;)

    Never stopped loving it, just switched to LINUX:)

    Eversince I got a GIG of ram on this PC I have been wondering off an application that would utilize this empty RAM. While doing daily activities only about 400MB of RAM is full the rest is empty.

    So is there an app that would cache most frequently lunched apps into memory. For instance I would like to have FIREFOX cached so that when I click on the icon it would open in a sec instead of waiting to be read from the HDD.

    ps. I hear Vista has this feature. But is it possible to have it on XP also?

    they are 192.168.0.x with subnet 255.255.255.0.

    The subnet that connects to the router is

    255.255.255.128

    How would this static routing work? And how come I can connect to those other computer thru IP address but not from their NETBIOS name.

    ps. Should I set up WINS on the server'
