Hello all,
When I close the display of my laptop it goes to standby mode.
Usually when I open the display again and press the start button, the computer starts without any problem, but there are other times that it can't connect to the internet neither to the local network.
It says: "Unidentified network" "No internet connection".
When this happens the two leds in the ethernet plug on the laptop are constantly on (not blinking).
There are only 2 ways to solve that that have worked for me:
1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power and ethernet cable, wait for some seconds and then power it again.
2. Reduce the ethernet speed to 10mbps.
This is making me go nuts...
of course I've searched in all the places I've been able to think about, but the solutions that I've tested are not good:
1. Removing the bonjour service from apple. (##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##)
2. Disabling and re-enabling the network card.
3. I've not needed to change the IPv4 settings as I have them manually assigned. (in some places they say that DHCP is not working...)
4. flushdns... + restart...
5. Waiting for some time after rebooting...
6. ...
The annoying part of that is when I need to save some work to my server and I can't because the network is not working... or when I need to send e-mails or receive skype calls...
Any of you here know how to solve that?
Thank you in advance!

Try downloing new drivers for your network card and installing them.

Done already, from HP and in the web it was stated that it should solve precisely my problem... unluckily it hasn't...
This is so frustrating...

Can't help you out, except by saying you probably shouldn't close the display with unsaved data all around! And if the app is yours, you probably could detect the situation (SystemEvents class might be useful here) and save automatically.

YEs, you are right, but sometimes I leave the company in the middle of a download and I can continue downloading at home, or similar and then I must restart the computer and it is annoying...

I got a problem when I ping to other machine. At the command prompt when I type ping and follow by an ip address, it display that ping is not recognize as internal or external command. Why?
|
|
|
|
|
Either because your PATH doesn't include C:\Windows\system32 (doubtful) or the ping.exe file in there doesn't exist anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
the ping.exe file is in c:\windows\system32. But the problem still occur

In windows xp pro, when I use shift and right click to choose run as command on any setup file, the default user name of administrator already appear and I just need to type in the password only. From here I do not want the default administrator name appear because it will increase the security risk because only password is require. Is it possible to do that?

I have both Sql Server and IIS installed under Windows 7 (Pro and Ultimate). It may be that Windows 7 Home has restrictions so you need to get Pro or Ultimate.

Following on from digital man's comments I have (or had) SQL server Express and IIS working fine on Windows Home Premium.

Thanks, for small/home business would you recommend Windows 7 or Windows 2008?

I would not recommend either - I am not qualified to make that assessment on your behalf. It will depend on your requirements and what resources your business system needs.

AFAIK you'll need some Windows Server edition if you need to serve more than 10 users.

hello
I want remote desktop access to home - wonder how can we set this up secure manner? For example, I can get no-ip so my home machine reacheable from work. But simply launch a remote desktop to home would be like sending plain text over the internet right?
mstsc /V:172.39.12.19
Sorry I'm admin dummy

It's actually pretty safe, all communication is encrypted. If it's a server2008/ win7/ vista you can also use certificates to add to the security.
You only need to open port 3389 in the firewall. (the port can be changed)

Is it possible to know ip address of the remote machine if I know its MAC address?
|
|
|
|
|
Only if the remote machine is on the same subnet as the machine trying to resolve the MAC. The MAC is a physical address that only has meening on the subnet it's connected to. The MAC address you get is either to the switch your machine is connected to or the near side of the 1st router you come to on the following back from whence the packet came.

How can we do that (get IP by knowing the MAC address)?
|
|
|
|

ARP Command[^]
<edit> Sorry, wrong direction, you want GetMAC[^]</edit>

getmac is used when we know an IP and need to know MAC address. But in this case, I need to know an IP if I have the mac address. Any idea?
|
|
|

If you want to go the other way around, it's the ARP command. But, like I said, you can only get the IP's for a MAC on the subnet that your ran the command on. If you're trying to use this to uniquely identify machines on all networks in your company, you can't do that. The MAC you see will be the near-side of the last router closest to your server that you're running the command on.

At my office, we run only one subnet. But after I check the article from this page[^] I found that it is not possible to do that. ARP just show the map of IP and MAC from its cache. Thank for your help so far.
