Network does not allow two connections on the same plug?

Thanks for the replies. Just to make it clear, I am not trying to be subversive or anything, but corporate IT is really really small and covers a huge area, so they usually don't want to spend time on this kind of thing (we are not a US based company). But I will try to get hold of them in...

Network does not allow two connections on the same plug?

Hi I work in a small subsidiary of a large corporation. Locally we are not allowed to have IT resources, so we have to try and fix things for ourselves. I'm having an issue just connecting a new hire to the network. There is a plug (RJ45) in the wall that connects to the server, which is...

I cannot turn off mouse acceleration?

Update on this: issue still not solved. Smoothmouse doesn't have any effect either, even the mouse speed slider doesn't change anything. I will try to uninstall the logitech drivers and see if that works.

Guide: How to install Windows 8 with 2012 iMac and BootCamp

I've been trying to install windows 8 on my late 2012 iMac for a couple of weeks, and finally succeeded. I could not find any definitive guide even after many hours googling, so here is a forum post to help people who come after me. The main issue was that the bootcamp assistant only formats the...

I cannot turn off mouse acceleration?

I've just brought home a gorgeous new imac 27. Up to this point I've been using windows, and have had the mouse set to 0 acceleration. Now I can google the fact that Mac forces mouse acceleration, which gives me cramps in my hand that transplants up to my neck, so I have been looking for...

Suddenly wireless stops working

Phew managed to solve it, by uninstalling the card itself, plus the drivers, plus windows wifi miniport, reboot, and let windows find the drivers on its own.

Suddenly wireless stops working

As many times before, when a problem stumps me, I turn to Anandtech. I have a desktop pc, with an Asus PCE-N13 (PCIe) wireless card inserted. It connects to my wireless netgear router. It's been running fine for years. Yesterday it ran fine. Today though, it just says "no connections...

Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

Well I'm in Europe, so can't really order from Newegg. Anyway the price is not the issue, its more the fact that I don't want to tinker with the cpu/cooling unless I really have to. If there was some program that could enable me to set the cpu fan level, then the problem would be solved - but I...

Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

Yes that utility works, but it doesn't have any purpose. It just enables you to set your fan speed at the desired level, but ONLY if the temperature is below 65 degrees. As soon as it goes above 65, it pushes the fan speed to max, regardless. It's so frustrating, because I am only 1 or 2...

There is no option in the BIOS to do that. It's either automatic (Which I have now) or max fan speed all the time. It's the box i7 cooler I have.

Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

Hi I have an X58 SuperComputer + i7 920. My issue is the CPU temperature - as soon as I boot up the pc, it climbs to around 60 degrees celcius. When it hits 65 degrees, the CPU fan automatically goes to the max level and makes a hell of a noise. I have enabled cool n quiet etc. in the...

Suggestions for a nice AV gadget?

Thanks! I think the other version of the WD Tv, the "Hub" version, is actually exactly what I need.

Suggestions for a nice AV gadget?

Hi I'm looking for suggestions for a video gadget, to play my movies and tv shows. I have a lot of 720p files on my pc, that I want to show on my tv. My current practice is to convert the files to mpeg, transfer them to a harddrive, and play them via my PS3 on the tv. Then I saw the apple...
