Okay fine - I will try it out.... but when you delete a shared file/subfolder/folder from a shared folder on the network, where does the file go? It does not go to the recycle bin of any of the computers on the network. Is there any other place it goes to?

How about capturing only a song from a VCD? - What is the best bet here? Virtual dub or something else?

Hi all, Well here is the situation. I have a shared folder on an Windows XP/2000 network - we use it to exchange files/folders on the network. The folder is password protected and users on the network can log in as "guest" (with the password). Unfortunately, I had given full access to this...

Hi, You cannot combine the bandwidth of a DSL connection and a dial-up one. However, on certain dial-up connections (which has to be supported by the ISP), you can combine multiple dial-up connections -- called multilinking. In India, you only have that option with ISDN dial-up (and this...

Hi all, Is this SATA HDD your only HDD in the computer? Are you adding a SATA HDD to your system which has an existing HDD (with the OS already loaded)? Are you wanting to implement RAID? If you are adding this HDD to an existing system with the OS already loaded, (presuming that you are...

Hi TVB RAJU, That is a lot of software installed at your end for your PSTN line. I have not used these software, but only Supervoice that used to come bundled with my D-Link 56kbps external modem. Googling got to me to their site...

Hi Mohit, ECC is basically a method of correction of errors in memory. The other method is parity (that is also covered in the source page). If you read both the topics, you will appreciate why ECC is better and therefore used in mission-critical high-end computers, servers, etc. As far...

Hi Yash, I am assuming that you have run the in-built wizards to do the networking between the two computers. It seems like you are having problems with the cable/crimping. Make sure you get that done professionally. Like exx said, You will need a crossover cable to connect two computer...

Hi Sandi, I tried 4 companies when trying out routers. D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, and SMC. The D-Link people in my city and the nearby city did not have too much of an idea of their own products (poor presales support), so I could only imagine what their post sales support would be like...

The FSB (front side bus) is the connection between the processor and the Northbridge (which contains the memory controller) in your motherboard. In your Sempron 2400+, the FSB is 166x2 = 333. Like icecoolz rightly pointed out, going beyond that is overclocking. To get most of your...

Hi dikudik, You can use data recovery software like Stellar *www.stellarinfo.com/ Not sure if there is a freeware that can do the job. DH

Hi Nikhil, I have not seen how the Sify connection works and authenticates, but it looks like it uses the MAC address (that is unique to the one that was supplied to them by you). Maybe you could use a SOHO router to clone the MAC address to overcome this problem. The antivirus thing by...

Hi, Just wanted to know what kind of proxy software is being used. Many of the light-weight free ones do a terrible job as far as giving FTP access is concerned. Is FTP access turned "on" in the proxy server? I am not sure if SmartFTP supports passive mode (or whether the server does the...

Digen is absolutely right. A dedicated firewall is typically used in large corporates, cost something like a kidney or two put together :lol: , support a huge number of users, give VPN support, et cetera. Examples would the the Cisco PIX series, although I kind of tend to favor the Symantec...

Hi Keith, Thanks for the info. Very interesting indeed. DH
