    Question Remote Software suggestions please

    I've been using Teamviewer as a free remote software for quite a while but they've now decided I'm a commercial user despite the fact it's only ever used to help my 92 yr old dad as he seems to "press the wrong button" more and more frequently nowadays. If anyone has any suggestions for an...

    Question ***SOLVED*** SSD not seen via USB / Sata Cable or 2.5" enclosure

    I want to clone my hard drive to a bigger one, I've bought a new Crucial MX500 2.5" SSD and thought I could just plug it into a USB / Sata cable and the computer would see it the same as an external drive and I could clone to it but nothing happens when I attach it. This cable has sucesfully...

    Question Access Printer Server on Nokia ONT XS-2426G-A Router

    Yes, I've done that as well and that network discovery's on .... I'm guessing if that was the problem it wouldn't work wth the Asus router. I'm guessing the Nokia routers are fairly new as there's very little information on them / others having the same issue.

    Question Access Printer Server on Nokia ONT XS-2426G-A Router

    Yes to both, it lists the printer as Printer1 with the correct make / model and the format as RAW. The instructions also say you have to enable and give the SFTP server a user name / password and use the same username / passord in the enable printer section.

    Question Access Printer Server on Nokia ONT XS-2426G-A Router

    In the past I've used the print server on an Asus router for a USB printer and it's worked / shared perfectly. I've recently switched to fibre broadband with the new Nokia router and can't get the printer to work / see it. With the Asus I'd go into Add printer, when it can't find device gone...

    Question HP Proliant ML110 G7 ... Windows 11 or Bin?

    I've just retrieved an HP Proliant ML110 G7 Server that's been in storage for over 6 years, does anyone know if I can install Windows 11 on it or how I'd go about finding out if it's possible? At the moment it won't actually boot up it gets stuck as it's trying to and don't really want to pay...

    Question Flat Cat 6 Cables Reliability

    The 2 I had that failed their behaviour was strange, they'd run at 70Mbs and would over a 2/3 day period reduce to 8/12Mbps .... reboot switches / access points and they'd jump back up to the 70 again. This happened on a very regular basis over many months, I changed them out about 6 months ago...

    Question Flat Cat 6 Cables Reliability

    I've had a couple of flat cat 6 cables as they're better for going under carpet that have not lasted, I'm not sure if they've got damaged as one of them's in an area that gets walked / vacuumed over (the other wasn't) or if maybe I just bought cheap ones and that's the reason or if generally...

    Question Can't See some Wired Devices from WiFi Connection

    Certainly you can go in and manually configure it if I go and do a factory reset which gives it it's default IP again and the the username / password are on the bottom of the beacon, there's quite a good video on youtube where he runs through some of the functionality. There's certainly a...
