    NIC Teaming / Link Aggregation with switch ASRock Fatality Professional

    Hi, I have an ASRock Z77 Fatality Professional motherboard running on my Windows 2008 R2 server. I have set up the NIC Teaming for the two LAN Ports. So - if I am using NIC teaming via the ASRock software provided with the motherboard, do I need to set up link aggregation on Netgear GS108T-200...

    Choppy/stuttering playback on gigabit LAN

    I really wish people would stop going around various forums making inappropriate selections of what *they* think is the best solution, especially if they are doing it for the wrong reasons, like trying to artificially inflate "resolved post" counts. Most certainly, bill001g's responses were...

    ok, No go with the fan headers. I took all off except the cpu cooler. I also removed all USB and audio connectors. Unplugged optical drives and disconnected the LAN. Still restarts after it is powered off.

    FCC Chairman’s Proposal Will Radically Change The Rules Of The Internet

    This is a reasonable start. I foresee great backlash from the corpratocracy. The proposals will undoubtedly be "softened" Would also be nice if ISPs could also be prevented from 1. Blocking the use of VPNs and other privacy technologies. The internet is not safe. Anyone with a shred of sense...

    Microsoft's Windows 10 Technical Preview 'January' Build Now Available

    OMG What an unmitigated disaster of a OS. As the Madden Bothers said "We are done!" I will be uninstalling the TP and putting linux back on my test PC. IT would take me 100's of lines to describe the issues with the new build, and all it really shows is that this IS JUST WINDOWS 8. I'll...

    Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Details: Universal Apps, Cortana On All Platforms, Xbox Integration, More

    Here's a thought re the "Free upgrade". Indeed, it does smell of desparation, but... Let's assume Microsoft goes the subscription route. I upgrade within 12 months. Then after the 12 month period Micrsoft brings in subscription priving. Does that apply ONLY to NEW purchases, or do they think...

    Possible Windows Activation Scam

    Never seen a virus or scam like this. But in my travels with friends, family and customers I have seen windows fail activation out of the blue more than a few dozen times since Windows 7 was released. In most cases a reboot fixed it. But in some cases the only way it could be fixed was a...

    Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Details: Universal Apps, Cortana On All Platforms, Xbox Integration, More

    I got up at 4am to watch this presentation and sat through the whole 135 minutes of it, and only one thing of interest - free for the next 12 months. How much after that? Will I be able to download my free upgrade as an ISO so I can do a clean install? Other than that, watching the presentation...

    Tom’s Hardware’s 2015 Wish List

    3 things for me... I'd like to see entertainment synchronization. No more of this "it's available in the US but nowhere else in the world". One reason some people pirate is they just can't get the stuff in their country. We should be free to choose our personal entertainment experiences, and...
