Ok, I'll only ask one more time, I swear. What exactly is your problem now?

Re: IP address is changing
Faith, just buy an airline ticket for one of the geeks here to fly to where you are and fix whatever problem you have. At this point, it seems like an easier and faster solution. (I was joking)
​
But seriously, are you still trying to get iano to get into your comp to fix that printer driver installation problem? Personally, I've never encountered or heard of anyone encounter such a problem before.

Re: Geek Exorcist wanted
Ever wonder why the weirdest computer problems always happen to people who don't know much about computers?

Re: Using DVD's for data storage, and other questions
Min writes:
​
My vague understanding is that DVD's will hold about 8GB. Does anyone here use DVD's for data storage, and if so, are they reliable?
Um... why would you waste money on dvd's for data storage? And no, they hold 4.7 gig of stuff. Nowadays, external harddrives are cheaper than dirt if you buy online. Go to pricewatch to look for the cheapests of the cheaps.
​
Second, I have an extra 250 GB IDE (I think) drive I'd like to put in my older (but not oldest) computer (but maybe Windows 98SE and a 250 GB drive is not compatible). What does it take to link two computers together such that I can use that one for file storage for another computer? Both are network ready. They are both 800 MHz machines, but one is running IDE type drives while the other is SCSI. Can one just run a cable from ones network port to the others?
Good god, how old are your computers?
​
The easiest thing for you to do is buy an encloser and turn your internal harddrive into an external harddrive. Then all you have to do is plug it into the usb thingy. An encloser costs like 10 bucks.
​
PS Don't use your dvd-r's for data storage. But if you must, you will see in a few months why I'm discouraging you.

wireless help
I have a device (not a computer) that needs to be connected to the internet. It only has an ethernet port. Is there a cheap device that accepts wireless signal and has an ethernet port for me to connect to the other device? I guess I'm looking for some sort of converter.

Re: wireless help
My computer is up stairs. My wireless router is up stairs. Device A is down stairs. Device A only has an ethernet port. I need a little box, preferably cute and cubical, that receives the wifi signal so I could plug device A into it.

Re: wireless help
Already done that. Since I'm a cheap son of a bitch, I'm just a little hesitant at the moment...

Son of a...
​
I've decided to solve my problem the cheap... free way. I've moved my wireless router down stairs and use a usb wireless card I dug out of my old stuff for my computer up stairs. Problem solved.
