Question about zombie computers?

I got some spam. The sender was MY email address. Does this mean my computer is one of those zombie computers spewing out spam? How do you know if it is?

Question about zombie computers?network

Changing the senders e-mail address is not hard, and more people will open something sent from what they think is from a family member on the computer.

Question about zombie computers?norton

Wow.

A zombie program so stupid it dialed itself. hahaha

Yeah, you COULD be infected.

OR

Someone who knows you could be infected and it is randemly replacing the sender email information with another email on their "friends list".

Either way, check you comp with a good virus program.
Well, probably.

if its your email address, it either has become a zombie application, or it has been hacked.
Pull the power cord out. If it's still alive, it's a zombie.

Or a laptop.

Or has a UPS.

Oh darn it, serious answer time. No, it just means the spammer used a particularly dumb computer program to send the spam.

If you're worried about your computer being infected, get a virus checker. There's a free ones called "AVG free" and "Avast", you can search for them.
No it doesn't mean your computer is a zombie. Through SMTP one could fake email addresses.

I have four computers in my network. i want to share "D drive" of my server to two compute

i do not want to share with the other computer (fourth one). i am having windows XP as OS in all my computers. if it is posible,please give me the solution.

I have four computers in my network. i want to share "D drive" of my server to two computes.?norton antivirus 2007

You might start with this guide: http://www.sbits.biz/xp/winxptcr/peer2pe... which will help you get the sharing up and running.

As for not sharing, you can either not set it up on the 4th system and depend on ignorance, or you can set passwords and require "authorized users" to log in.

!0 minutes of poking at it after it is runnign and you'll be set.

Good luck!

I have four computers in my network. i want to share "D drive" of my server to two computes.?product key

There are lots of ways.

If we're talking about XP Home, then the options are limited. You would need to set a password which should be an option on the "sharing" tab under properties of the drive.

If all needing access have XP Pro, then you should first make sure "Simple File Sharing" is disabled. Then on your sharing tab you will see more options - definitely the password issue.

The following sites will help:

http://www.wown.com

http://www.practicallynetworked.com
If u have windows XP then right click on the D Drive of server computer and then click sharing tab,after that click on the blue highlight link ""if you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive,click here""

After that under (Network sharing and security) check the box "share this folder on the network" afte that a new check box will appear "Allow network users to change my files" and then apply and OK.

Restart the system

After rebooting open my network places

Here u can view D drive

Should I start the price of my computers @ $80?

$80 will get you a pc with windows xp (sp2), high speed internet ready. Please let me know if $80 is a good price for a 1st computer or basic computer. I have computers that cost more but I sell more computers to 1st timers so I try to keep the cost as low as I can without beating myself. Thanks

Should I start the price of my computers @ $80?norton antivirus

Dude, most NEW computers run AT LEAST $600. If it's a relatively old one (Pentium III, for instance) then $80 ain't a bad buy, but if it has something like a Pentium Celeron, then $80 is wayyyyyyyyy cheap. Slightly higher, if it's Celeron or newer, otherwise it's perfectly fine.

go to start menu, control panel, network connections, on the left hand side, click my network places, then clikc view workgroup computers, is your other PC there? If not use the the home network setup wizard. You can right click on files in either PC and share them on your network, you can do the same for the hard drives, it is fairly simple to do.

Thank you everyone for your input. The answers definitely got me closer to having it set up. Report It


If you are just wanting to share files, on one computer, right-click the folder that the files are in and choose "Sharing and Security". On the page that comes up, choose the radio button next to "Share this folder". By default it will share it to anyone, which is not very secure, but works. You can adjust who can see it by using the permissions button. Once your done, click OK. On the other computer, you should now be able to see the first computers shared folder. You can browse to it several ways, I usually click "Start" then "run" then type in the name of the computer using this format: \\ComputerName then click OK, and it will show you all available shares on that machine.
make sure they are on the same workgroup (control panel %26gt; system %26gt; computer name tab %26gt; click on change if needed)

run network wizard if necessary

Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Network Setup Wizard

share some folders from both computers (right click on a file and select properties, then sharing)
Make sure they are on the same workgroup. After that you should be able to see the computers. Then setup your sharing!

What are the advatages and disadvantages of computers for the student nowadays?

everyone nowadays have computer in their home or rent in the internet cafe, people use computer to help their everyday life make easier, they search, they chat, they shop, etc... but what are the advantages and disadvantages of computers, is computer make our lives more easier or make us lazy???

What are the advatages and disadvantages of computers for the student nowadays?norton internet security 2008

Both-but leaning towards the latter.

It's is good for research, quick emails, and typing up good reports, shopping on line is convenient also.

Disadvantages-some people get too involved in cyberworld, and lose contact with society. Grammar and spelling has gone out the window, too dependent on spell check, then if they do try to "write an actual report in their own penmanship" it is a disaster. Your more prone to identity theft using online applications, buying, the phish fraud mail with links that people fall victim too.

What are the advatages and disadvantages of computers for the student nowadays?spyware removal

It depends on the person. It's just like a car. You can use your car to avoid any exercise or you can use your car to go to a gym and get a really good workout. The same is true of computers. You can use a computer to learn a lot about just about any subject and get a lot of work done. You can also use computer to totally avoid work, learning, socialize, and any other type of productive activity. I think it's going to create a huge gap between people who are motivated and people who aren't.
You will have the power of Google at your fingertips. Very good if you are a comp science student since this is an excellent way of researching stuff and learing more about a particular topic. Also it comes in handy if your doing development and you can use your own machine instead of the school computer.

Mostly I think its just a good study aid and also you can store all your papers and homework on there. just a better way to organize i guess.

You need a separate license for each computer and you can only activate it one time.

Holy smokes people!

Do some research before you run out and get burned with Vista.

Did you check to make sure that your computer will even run Vista?

Did you know that your video and music files will be degraded 60% and corrupted when you try to run them on Vista unless they have been digitally signed by Microsoft?

Did you know that you will not be able to use your favorite file sharing program because the gnutella ports are blocked?

Did you know that you will not be able to play your current on-line games on Vista?

etc. etc. etc.
Before you buy VISTA Google this "windows vista problems and issues"

Meanwhile, if you need a reliable and current operating system try UBUNTU. It's free and the programs are free too.
You have to buy two copies. One copy of Windows Vista only on one computer
You need to purchase Vista software for each unit. Suggest you do a clean upgrade and not just install Vista over the op you are running.

Computers.. is systom restore any good..and how often should you use it?noton

yes its very good but only take it back as far as you need to or youll lose some stuff you didnt want to,can use it as often as you like

Computers.. is systom restore any good..and how often should you use it?stinger

yes but don't go back more then i system check point

i have found if you go back more then 2 wks it does not work properly

best bet is to make a back up

start menu

all programs

accessories

system tools

backup

follow on screen instructions
I would say use it before any major changes to your system and also at regular intervals too - it does give you a point that you can roll back to if you get system problems. When doing major installs I usually create restore points before and immediately after the install

However, do not rely on it as your only backup source as not everything is backed up in the restore point.
Yes, System Restore is a life-saver.

Maybe you updated stuff or deleted stuff like even

your connections. System Restore restores before

you downloaded stuff that messed the computer up./

Select Save As option in File and if you have a CD writer it should show as D drive, put a blank disc in and Save.

A question about computers e.t.c i'm thick lol?symatec

If both the PCs have USB sockets, the best option is to buy a USB Pen Drive (also known as Flash Drive and other names). These can cost less than 拢5, depending on storage capacity, and can be re-used, unlike standard CDs.
yes you can put them on a CD is you have a cd burner....

you have to make a data cd and burn it to disc....
Select Save As option in the File and if you have a CD writer it should show as a D drive, put a blank disc in and Save. it!
you can use nero to write files to a cd if you are having a cd writer in you laptop.

first save you lyrics to the word document or a text file

Just install and

%26gt; open the nero program

%26gt; click on make a data cd

%26gt; browse and add the files you want to burn to the cd

%26gt; burn the cd.

Yuo can download nero from the link below
Have your lyrics in a text document i.e. like Microsoft Word. After you have saved it go to the location of the file (usually My Documents), right click on the file go to the send to option and choose the CD-ROM drive (usually D:). A balloon will pop up at the bottom of the screen saying files are waiting to be written to a CD click on it and choose the burn to CD option. A much easier option would be to buy a small USB Flash drive and transfer the files to it and send it to him instead

Computers,,,will they destroy humanity?

Computers,,,will they destroy humanity?stinger

Not the current kind of computers. Keep mixing animal neurons and metallic parts and we might see something really scary.

Computers,,,will they destroy humanity?virus scanner

My thought: The possibility is distinctly there !
Not think they destroy humanity, but, could help propagate humanity. People will become more dependent, and, as a result less intelligent. Calculators a good example. As we become less involved in everything from work to play, sex will become more profound and we may see a larger and faster population growth than past History. Remember, we less intelligent then and Birth Control will require too much thought process. In work, older more experienced workers be less desirable and removed from the work force. With the help of Computers a less experienced person can still do the work of an older more experienced person. A few older people be kept around as a last resort problem fixer, but, they be few with the computers do the thinking. This could give rise to population control, as, the older people then need to be removed from society as they have become a burden not having a job, so, selective Termination will be used to eliminate the undesirables. That what Abortion all about; "You must be Aborted"! That about all I know.
Shhhh, they might hear us
no,fossil fuels will
I am currently researching this topic. I have plans to construct a supercomputer with human-like qualities. I however must first overcome monumental obstacles to reach my ultimate goal. Nevertheless, I strongly believe that computers will one day have the potential to destroy the human race or to end life as we know it. It is only a matter of awaiting the arrival of that day.
i think we should treat artificial intelligence like the plague. maybe i'm being paranoid because of terminator and matrix but that scares me more than sharks and crocs.
No, oil companies will.
Personally,I think computers are weaker than people and always will be.A long as they're a creation of people they have no power at all.Human will always rule.I believe that humans will destroy themselves in the end not computers.

Just plug both into the router using the network cables. If you've got the sharing set up, the router will handle "routing" the traffic between the two machines for you.

You should make sure both computers are in the same workgroup. By default, when you setup the os with network, you would be in the 'workgroup' workgroup. To enable file sharing, right click on the folders to be shared and select 'sharing'.

People who think they know somthing about computers?

Don't you hate it when you ask a question in Answers about computers or something and some of the answers you get are totally obvious? I once asked a question: "My computer's hard drive crashed, and won't work anymore. What can I do?" and the answer was "restart your computer". Hello! I want some people who know what they are talking about.

I figure if you know what a hard-drive is, you know something about HTML, and you know what an ISP is, you can know enough to answer a simple question without dumb answers like "make sure your computer is on" or "make sure all the cords are plugged in".

Anyone else feel this way?

If you're using Windows XP:

I'll assume you've connected both PC...

1. Set one of your computer (the one with modem) as a server by setting it's TCP/IP value to 192.168.0.1

2. set the other one to 192.168.0.2, then set the gateway 192.168.0.1

3. Go online and see that both computer can connect to internet

If you're using Windows98, the process is a bit trickier and the failure percentage is quite big

1. Set your server IP the same as above

2. Insert your win98 CD, install Internet Connection Sharing

3. On your second computer, set the Ip setting into "Obtain address automatically"

It's should work after reboot.

How do I share a folder, on a network, to just one computer, out-of 4 computers?vincent

You can't prevent it showing to the network. You can set up a user on the serving machine to match the user on the client you want to share it with. Same user name, same password. Then right click the drive, add this user and the local user to it's access list. Set full control to both users, then remove all other access to it. This way if anyone else tries to access it they get a user and password request, followed by a refusal.

How do I share a folder, on a network, to just one computer, out-of 4 computers?adware remover

i thought that :

External Hard Drive or Internal Hard Drive called with another name is : External Hard Disk or Internal Hard Disk

so the simple answer for your question is ... you have to connect the hard drive"Hard Disk " to computer 2 only

. . . . . . .

if you have a problem to connect it with computer 2 tell me .. may i can do something else for you !
Simply do not map it to the computers that you don't want using it, you can remove aministrative rights from the corresponding machines elliminating mapping of network drives. Be careful when attaching network storage esspecially an internal disk that may be your system drive the hardware battle that sometimes follows can sometimes cause serious hardware faults. I usually only do this with non system disks such as media storage.

Why can't I save web pages in certain computers but I can do it in others?

Sometimes when I am busy or when I found news articles on the internet that are extremely interesting, I like to save the web pages on my computers to be read at a later time at my perusal.

Internet for two computers?

I have a desktop with broadband connection w/ ethernet cord and I want to buy a laptop. I think I need a router for both computers to be on the internet at the same time or is there something I can buy built in to the laptop that takes the place of the router. Also I have comcast, does anyone know if I have to pay more money for more than one computer. It's bad enough I have to pay for internet and cable and it's the same wire. I am really confused on how this all works so any help would be great. thanks

Internet for two computers?virus

Yea just buy a router if you plan on using ethernet cords. Connect your Cable or DSL modem to your 1st port of the router, and just plug in yourself in anyone of the other ports on your router except the uplink port. Same goes with your other computer, any port except the uplink one. For your other worries, nah they won't charge you for having multiple computers on your internet connection. For example if you wanted to have a PC party, You and 20 or more people can share your internet, provided you have enough ports for them, Oh and use hubs to link up to your router and branch it for multiple PCs. Example of that would be say both of your computers are hooked in to your router, you can hook in a hub to your uplink and have 4-5 more other people sharing that same line as you are. If you want more people, have another hub hookin the 1st hubs uplink, and your gold. Want even more people just repeat. Assuming everyones got the right protocols, but thats a whole new topic.

The CBL Data Shredder is intended to eliminate the chances that information stored on your hard drive may be retrieved by anyone when it, or the computer containing it, is disposed of.

Our experience is that files thought to have been deleted years previously, containing personal details, bank account details, credit card numbers, correspondence, etc., can be recovered all too easily, and simply formatting the drive is not an effective means of rendering this data inaccessible. This situation is made worse by the availability of off-the-shelf products that will automate the recovery process in some cases.

When used in accordance with the instructions in this guide, the CBL Data Shredder program will do what file deletion and partition formatting cannot: erase the entire contents of a treated hard drive, rendering them irretrievable to existing and future software-based recovery tools.

How to "lan" connect two computers?

Hi, I have two computers running xp and have a linksys wireless g broadband router model wrt54g. My other computer has a wireless connector and both are online. But, I can't seem to get a local game started with just us, or get into the other computer from the other one. So, how do I do it? Thanks for your time.

How to "lan" connect two computers?windows

Alright yo udo need to run The network Setup wizard on all of your Pc's that you want to connect to. The biggest key to getting it all to work is that you make sure the NAME you provide for the WORKGROUP is the same on all the PC's. Once you have finished the wizard you should be set. The firewall will not be an issue once you run the wizard unless you have one running on your Router.

If you do than you need to set your router to allow file %26 print sharing between the PCs. you wil be set then. Enjoy!!

Hope this helps you.

OpenLaszlo/ 4-H Computers Help? Please Answer! 10 Points!?

I'm doing a 4-H computers project this year and am wanting to make a computer game and I was wondering if Laszlo would be a good program for it.

I started wanting to make an RPG game with a free program called ALICE and I realized that ALICE was a bit to basic for an RPG game and programs like G-Max are WAY to expensive.

So I decided to just do and arcade type of game but I still can't use ALICE.

So I went to see about a Macromedia Flash Program and they're too expensive, so I found Laszlo...

Any help I can get is good!

If there are any other free/cheap programs I could download, please share!

If your other computer has a wireless adaptor in it just look for available networks in the area and find yours. You will then double click on it and it should ask you for the password. It is located on the side of the modem/router from Verizon. After doing this it should be able to go on-line.

Will linking up computers through phone lines do any damage?

me and my brother link up our computers through the phone line and play starcraft, but then our mom comes and makes us quit. she claims that by linking them up on the phone line it will hurt the computer, is this true in any way?

Will linking up computers through phone lines do any damage?anti virus

It's extremely unlikely. I assume you are talking about dialing from one computer using a modem to another. This is reasonably safe, and is a time tested communication technology. I used a computer with a modem for over ten years with no noticeable ill effect on the computer - heck, most of the world did, before broadband connections became more common.

Will linking up computers through phone lines do any damage?auto protect

No, i doubt it but find another way to do this. Like a router !
People have been hooking computers together through the phone line for many years, both directly and through the phone company. Indeed, a dial-up or DSL connection to your computer amounts to a hookup between your computer and the phone company using the phone line so that your computer can originate calls and talk to other computers, usually the one at your ISP.
yes you will be fine good luck would try going wireless lot easier

Very Irritated...with computers...?

All the computers we have..break within a year..not by a virus..they just develop some problem...like the motherboard goes out..the computer refuses to start..something wrong with the power supply..it is driving me nuts!

Very Irritated...with computers...?antispam

It could be coincidence, but if this has happened too often I'd check your power. Is it getting spikes from an air conditioner that has a bad cap, or is there something coming down the line that is causing power fluctuations that are taking them out? Do you have something as simple as a bad ground? No ground can cause havoc because the built in electronics that handle over voltage, static and other issues do not have a place to bleed off excess electricity. Do you get a lot of static electricity? My computers usually last for years and I have to upgrade tham to newer tech before they die. You might want to get a power line conditioner for your computer system and see if that makes them last longer...

could be an underlying problem but im thinking just bad luck whenever i start having a few problems i just back up what files i need an do a fresh install of my operating system but this is just if its an operating system problem

Cannot connect two computers together wirelessly?

I am trying to connect my desktop and my laptop to see each other wirelessly but im having no luck. i have tried using the network wizard it finishes and doesnt show either computers. i am using windows xp pro sp2 and my wireless router is buffalo WHR-G54S. i have tried pinging each of the computers but it bombs out big time and i have tried tracert to see where it goes down but that doesnt work either. please help!

Cannot connect two computers together wirelessly?antivirus download

You can not use a domain name unless you have a domain controller server on the network. They need to be in the same workgroup. You need to set the exception for file and printer sharing in both firewalls and both machines need at least one resource (printer or folder) set shared. You do not say if they can connect to the internet, if so they should at least reply to a ping but you will need to try pinging by IP address, both of which should be set to automatic. If this works, the problem is simply browsing. Go to the tcp/ip properties of each machine click advanced and in the wins tab set always use netbios over tcp/ip. This may raise a warning about a missing wins address, cancel the message.

Clubless About Laptop Computers.Buying 1st oneWhat All Do I Need?And if u could explain about wireless too plzantivirus downloads

A laptop would come with the things you "need". But you might have to research on the CPU speed, how much RAM (memory) it has, how big the Hard Drive is, etc. etc. Which can be a pain when you first start out. So I strongly suggest you take a look at the Mac Book. It includes all the necessary basics with a good price tag and it's very stable. Just go for the basic model and you can forget about researching all these other PC brands.

For wireless, you want a laptop which has a built-in wireless. For example, the Mac Book. And when you go to a public library or school, your laptop will automatically searches the network for you. It's very easy. If you don't have one at home now, don't worry much about it.

But like I said, take a look at the Mac Books.

In a small network of computers, I only get an internet connection in one of them. What could be the

I bought a new router and tried to setup a LAN. All the lights on the router are up and I can access the shared files and folders using any computer in the network. However, I can access the internet using only one computer. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables, changed cables and restarted all the computers and router. Could it be that the router is the problem? I'm using an Encore 5-port 10/100Mbps NWay Switch. I would really appreciate any inputs. Thanks!

In a small network of computers, I only get an internet connection in one of them. What could be the problem?antivirus programs

a switch is a layer 2 device (for the most part) and does not have features like PAT to allow the single ip address you have to be shared among more than one computer.

You need a router the is runningPAT and also likely will be running dhcp.

In a small network of computers, I only get an internet connection in one of them. What could be the problem?computer protection

Actually, the switch would work...if the server on the other side is handing out numbers by DHCP. If you are connecting your switch to DSL, then you need to check with your provider to see if they are running DHCP and, if so, how many connections you can have. If not, then you are probably running with a fixed IP or are only allowed one connection. In that case, those that are saying a router/NAT or a dual-NIC computer acting as a DHCP server is easiest solution.

Internet not working on multiple computers. Service provider issue?

The office that I work at has three computers. One of which I had encountered a spyware/adware infection last night. So far, on every computer, I having problems loading pages. So far I can occasionally get yahoo on the more troubling computer, but google or hotmail, or most other sites, forget about it. I've tried to check that whole LAN thing those "page not found" messages tells me I can do as an option, but I'm not sure what to look for. Help please?

Internet not working on multiple computers. Service provider issue?antivirus scan

1. If you're using Windows, you can check if the LAN is active by looking at the lower part of the screen and seeing if the icon with two computers are active, meaning, they blink from time to time. Double-clicking this icon shows whether the connection is Connected or Disconnected.

2. You can also check the rear part of the computer where your LAN cable is connected. You should see a blinking light very near the port where the LAN cable is connected. If this light is not blinking, then there's a problem with your network.

3. If one computer is attacked by a spyware/adware, the other two computers shouldn't have any problems. You can also try accessing the other two computers to check if your LAN card is working.

4. Other than these, you may have to call your service provider.

Can I hook up two computers to the internet without using a router?

(I don't think these older computers have a PCI card.) Or can I run a cable from one computer to the other and then both would have the internet? I understand that would be a different type of cable.

Can I hook up two computers to the internet without using a router?antivirus software

Older computer will have pci slots (unless your referring to an ethernet adapter). In which case you can get two cheap ones for almost nothing.

Ok, simplest way to do this:

run a usb cable to one computer from the modem (if you have USB)

run a cross-over cat-5 cable to the second computer from the first.

enable "internet connection sharing" on the first.

Honestly, for $49 you can get a linksys wrt45g? I think that is the model, your basic blue dual-antenna wireless router. Don't have to go wireless, but non wireless routers are more expensive. Really, it will save your sanity. Otherwise, your creating what is considered a proxy server.

Also agree with Acadia, NAT is huge plus, it prevents your computers from being hit from the outside, the router is the only target unless you have a virus or trojan.

What are 'refurbished computers'?aurora

A refurbished computer is totally new and clean. In general, these were taken off the assembly line and set aside for refurbishment. In some cases, these were repaired, but still NEW.

You will notice that it still comes with a new computer warranty. That means that they see it as BRAND NEW too.

I have purchased a number of Refurbished computers from DELL in the past. I discovered that they were often better than NEW, since additional testing was performed. But Dell stopped discounting refurbished computers.

Best Answer

dear member,

The process of restoring a product by cleaning, repairing, recovering, and reusing the item for its original intended use

ok? check the link below
Rebiult by the manufacturer
We have one at home. It works just fine
Refurbish means to make clean, bright, or fresh again; renovate.

So when you purchase a refurbished computer your purchasing a used computer that has been rebuilt to like new conditions. When it is factory refurbished it means that the product was sent back to the factory/company that made/produced the computer and they rebuilt it, which is usually the best with refurbished products. It will look like new, it may have a few cosmetic imperfections, but it will work just like a new computer.
it means it was used a refurbished pc had all non os data wiped of the hard drive, they operate like new infact im wateing on one to come in the mail, there fine
Used computers restored to "like new" condition. Generally they look and operate exactly like a new computer with the same specs.
refurbished means its used but has new parts or something like that.
it is an old comupter with all or mosty new parts
Basically it means second hand. But only buy one if it comes with a warranty

How do i link these computers together like this?avast

I suggest this:

Connect the wireless router directly to your DSL, Cable or Satellite network bridge. Via Ethernet from the only Ethernet port on the network bridge to the WAN or Internet port (usually a blue color) on the wireless router.

Then connect all your wired devices to the wireless router's ports, and connect your laptop via wireless.

This way all of your computers would be able to be on the same workgroup and see each other.

How do i link these computers together like this?ducati

i dont know what do you ask.

if you have problems talk with your friends
I think the better way is to connect the gatway to the wireless router direstery and then connect the hub to the wireless router by cable(for the 2 XP) and the vista will stay connecting to the wireless router
The wireless router should be directly connected to the line or modem. You then connect the wired computers to it, and the laptop by wireless. If this is all you have you need nothing else. If you have more machines than ports on the router you need a network switch connected to the router and the machines connect to the switch.

When air traffic control in LA bogged down, it was due to "computer glitch" which not only disrupted operation but placed public safety at risk. Similar problems happen in banking, and commerce, and even government. The vulnerability of computers is such that when they malfunction, everything else go haywire.

no. using coputers is safe during pregnancy, i have never herd that before. and i am nearly 6 weeks pregnant myself and i use my computer every day
There are so many pregnant women that work on computers all day long and their kids are just fine. All of my aunts work at a desk using a computer and all of their kids turned out healthy. I use my computer 4-6 hours a day and I am sure my son will be just fine.
I worked on a computer the entire time I was pregnant. The only thing you really need to be careful of is that carpal tunnel is very common. Talk with your doctor about it, they can help you if you start getting tingly hands. Will it hurt your baby, no. There are far worse jobs out there and healthy babies are still born every day. You're fine. However, if you ever do have any questions, call your doctor or see if there's an on-call number you can use for questions. It was a lifesaver for me when I was pregnant (and paranoid).
that's rubbish, thats like telling you, you can't drive while your pregnant cause if you drive you can get in a accident and loose your baby. Or like if you raise your arms above your head that'll cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the neck.

Connecting my two computers?

I have too modems, I have files on one modem I was to transfer to my other computer, I don't want to have to use a disk, if there a way to maybe put a USB cord (or anything else) into both of them and just send the files from one to the other?

I'm starting to hate having to switch over computers when I want to do certain things.

Thanks!

Connecting my two computers?computer virus

Besides methods mentioned already.

For tiny Network You need: 2 lan cards %26 a cable (which You may have already if You have dsl). Windows can generate a home network - there are wizards that help You.

Yet another method if the 2 PC are not close - keep vital data on USB stick. Here USB sticks are ca. 20,- $ (20 Euro) for 1 GB. That is what i use to keep my data synchronized and consistent.

Portable aps for use on USB stick also exist: browsers, mail, publishing...

Connecting my two computers?free spyware remover

use a usb flash drive you could get a 512 mb one from best buy or some other store
Get a router.
You could buy two USB wireless network adapters and set them up to use "Ad-Hoc" mode. This lets two computers talk to each other directly without any special equipment in the middle. Unfortunately since many wireless network adapters provide their own way of doing this, I can't provide a simple step by step approach to answer your question. There's a few benefits to doing it this way - no need to buy a router, cables or having to plug and unplug disks, but it is a little complex so you will probably need to bribe a friendly geek!!
Well, there are multiple ways. usb is one of them. You need a USB cable called file sharing usb cable. you can also use a crossover cat5 cable if both computers have a network card. I think this way is cheaper but if it sounds kind of complicated you can go usb.

well i am on a dell right now but my first computer was a gate way and really i had no problems with it...they r all the same for what i use them for...i guess it depends on what you want to do with it %26 how you keep up maitnence on it!...........do you work for dell marketing?.....lol
i like Dell. I use Dell PC and laptop. No problems at all.

Not me, I think they are one of the worst brands. I have one at work. The drive crashed twice, the keyboard went out three times, and the memory board went out once, all in two years.

i have 3 computers, one laptop and 2 desktop computers. i have one of the desktops hooked up to DSL but i want to hook the laptop onto wireless internet and i want to hook the other desktop up too. the problem is that i don't have a wall jack thing in the room where i want the second desktop computer. how should i manage this set up? is it possible to have a desktop computer on wireless internet as well as a laptop?

How do i hook up DSL from my first computer to my other 2 computers (a laptop and a desktop)?computers

I just wrote a ton of stuff, only to lose it all when I was doing copy/paste of several websites at the end to help you out. Darn!! lol

Anyway, to hook up your Modem to use your connection with other computers you need a Router, and at least one, most likely two, Wireless Adapters. Your laptop probably already has a Wireless Adapter, so you just need to hook it up to the Router once you have it configured.

Physically hooking up a Router to a Modem is simple. Hooking up your currently hooked up computer to the Router is simple.

All you do is unhook the ethernet RJ45 Cable from the Modem, hook a ethernet RJ45 Cable into the Router, then into the Modem. Hook both Modem and Router to their respective power sources. Next, and last, (at least in this arrangment) is to now hook the ethernet cable you had hooked up to the Modem, into one of the ethernet jacks on the Router. Now, all is connected, right off the bat, as you have already done the Modem configuration when you initially hooked your computer up to your ISPs Modem.

DSL line, two computers?

My home office is in a separate building 100 feet from the house. Phone lines/DSL are in both buildings. Have router, but not really practical stringing ethernet wire through the trees and under the lawn mowers. Wireless? The main computer does not have any more IDE slots. I will have to pull something out to put a wirless card in. Question: Can two computers share one DSL line without using routers or wireless?

DSL line, two computers?download

Not without networking. You can however buy a wireless router and a hi gain wifi antenna for your system. You can also purchase a signal extender but all this will cost you some fat cash! Wireless is more vulnerable to attack also. You also might get by if the 2 PCs are in line of site with each other and may not need the signal booster. There are also directional wifi antennae on the market. If it was me, I would be stringing the cable!

DSL line, two computers?hijackthis

If you can connect them both to the input of your modem. But that is unlikely as most modems just have one input and that is why you use routers.

Ron
PS You don't have to use a IDE port, just use a usb port
Yes, you can share a DSL line w/o any router or wireless network. Just connect your 2 computers using a crossover utp cat5e cable through the ethernet ports and setup a LAN, and have one of your computer (pc1) to act as a gateway to connect to the DSL modem. In that way, the computer that does not connect directly to the modem (pc2) can access the internet through pc1. However, the main drawback is that pc1 has to be on while you access the internet using pc2.

Work Experience in Computers?

Hi, I am doing work experience next year, and I need to start thinking about my placement.

I want to work in computers, as in software development, but, I don't know how to get experience with a computer company, how do I find them? Any near Leicester would be great, is there a database somewhere for work experience?

Thanks,

Sign up on job search websites like monster.com. You can google "job search" and find more.

If you want programming experience, sign up at RentACoder.com. There is a ton of projects you can do there from your home. If you can't compete, then pick a program and start cracking on it strictly for learning purposes until you can start making some money.

Until you land a job at a company (you may be able to make your living on that website), try for something else, even if it's not programming. Just try to get some computer experience in some way. If there is a Best Buy around where you live, you can work in their PCHO department answering customers questions about purchasing a computer or other items. At some point of time, you may be able to go into their Geek Squad. All of that is hardware, but it's better than nothing until you get into what you want.

Hello, For getting work exp. you should have indepth knowledge in any programming language. And If you have so then you should work on some dummy projects. After doing all this you will get lot of experience.

Is LimeWire bad for Apple Computers?

Hello there. I was just wondering if liemwire was bad for a mac computer. My friend said that it didn't give viruses out it just made your computer way slower and did other things to it. If this is true could someone give me another website that is like limewire and works for mac computers and won't do damage?

Is LimeWire bad for Apple Computers?firewall

1. You are unlikely to get any Mac viruses.

2. Even on Windows, you will not get viruses if you use your head. For instance, if you see a movie, and its size is listed as something like "107 kb", then it is obviously a virus.

3. Limewire itself doesn't damage your computer. It's what you download through it.

4. If you want something LIKE Limewire, but free (you don't have to pay for higher connection speeds), try FrostWire.

Computers processor?

My computers processor keeps making loud noises. What should i do to get rid of the noise????

Computers processor?free adware remover

change CPU fan

CPU is silent but CPU fan or other cooling system maybe make noise

Computers processor?internet security 2006

It's not your processor as it's a solid state (no moving parts) component of a computer. The noise you are hearing will either be the CPU fan, the Power Supply Fan or the Hard drive itself.

If it's either of the fans it's probably a worn ball bearing. You'll probably have to replace it which isn't a big deal because they are fairly cheap.

If it's the hard drive then you have to figure, if it's a fairly new noise then it might mean your hard drive will be failing soon. So get your drive backed up and get a replacement drive.

You'll have to find someone who knows what they are doing and get your drive "cloned" and transferred to a new drive.
The processor itself is silent. Do you mean the fan on top of it? You will probably have to purchase a new fan, or a new heatsink assembly if they are all-in-one.

Also, are you sure it is not the hard drive? Hard drive noises are normal, but if it is especially loud or grinding, you should back up your data and try to purchase a new hard drive as soon as possible.
Most likely its the hard drive making the noise because it needs defragmented
well, it might not be ur processor that is making the noise

com'on now processor is a chip, it doesnto move. how can it make some noise???

but it might be the processor fan that is making a noise. remove the casing and check if the fan is working properly. check whether any wire is touching the processor fan. it everything's ok then check the power supply fan and if thats ok check that if its hard disk that making the noise. if you still have the problem check if all the RAMs are in there place (nice %26 tight). and if u still got the noise problem.................................... buy a new computer

Do you think computers can ruin your life?

My country is in the 3rd world because IT aren't tolerated here.

Do you think computers can ruin your life?free anti virus

well, using ur clasification i also might say that i'm from 3d world))... but perhaps in my country IT r not intolerated, they just r not widespreaded, there r problems with the general access to IT and people in general just do not know well what it's all about, that's why they afraidf and percept it as irrational evil.

from my personal experience i should say that without computers and iCT i would never be able to do my work (i'm programe manager in the NGO, which is part of the world-wide network) and significant parts of it r done everyday together with people who r thousands of kilometers far. so i feel very grateful to all these clever people who invented and proceed to upgrade computers and ICT and i like it very much. of course there r also patalogical situations when e.g. teens are playing games or chating on-line all the time and just do not live real life. but then again it's not because computers r evil, it's because people r not able to handle their problems and sometimes happen that side effects rest with "computer things". but it's not right to blame computer, it's like saying that cakes r evil, cause some women grow more fat.

What are the limits for computers?

Myself and a friend had this conversation the other day. Some people think that computers can only continue to amaze. Some think computers will one day be able to break the space time continuum and send us through time. Some think computers will soon spawn AI and take over the world. What do you guys think?

What are the limits for computers?free antivirus download

In my opinion, I think that computer technology will continue to grow. It will open up new doors to other technologies as well. For example, teachers, engineers, even law makers will benefits from computer development.

But, even though there will be a lot growth in the industry, government and companies around the world will restrict what we can do with our own home computers. For example, today most ISPs have shut down port 80 in order to stop home internet users from running web and POP e-mail servers. This is a restriction not practice by all ISPs, but it is a certainly demonstrate how the freedom of computer tech will limit to. Also there are several web sites that have been victims of governments around the world. Well, that demonstrates that we do not have freedom of speech and press. Then we always have possibility of major corruption in the technology. For example, virus, technical crashes, etc, etc.

So, I believe that computer industry will grow and grow and grow. With that growth there will be some limitations to what we can do as well.

Comparing Brand Name Computers?

Does anyone know of a (FREE) web site that has a Ranking List of computers by Brand Name.

i.e. say Dell is #1, Sony #2, HP #3 and so on.

Don't tell me it depends on what i want to use it for, how much i want to spend or something like that. Because we use it for anything and everything. I just want to see a ranking list of computer brands,

Comparing Brand Name Computers?free antivirus

Comparing Brand Name Computers?internet

normally the rankings lists only go by number of computers sold and they rank the companies that way. Now if you really want to break it down your best bet is to go with a well known manufacturer because you will less likely get screwed around on the warranty. When it comes to the computers themselves, they are all the same. They all use the same brand name parts inside of them such as intel, amd and so on the only difference is the case they are in has a different brand name on it. I worked at Gateway in the service department for 9 years and I have also worked on alot of friends and family computers such as HP's, Dell, Emachines and they all have the same brand name parts in them.
You might check on consumer electronics

Hope This Helps
If you confine this question to laptops then there is no question the only 2 brands worth looking at are Sony and Toshiba but if you are talking about top end desktops then i suggest you look at the smaller companies that will build you a pc completely to your spec. The problem with big companies is they use certain manufacturers for certain parts as they get them very cheap and these are not always the best available.
Well, it really does matter what you'll be using it for and what you're willing to spend if you really want to compare apples to apples. Every computer is different and you have to do some research into each one by coming up with the hardware specification of what you want or can afford. Then you can compare them. The actual brand name is not nearly as meaningful as the components they use in the pc you want.

How good are self assembled computers?

How good and reliable is an assembled computer compared to that made by established companies like Dell or Compaq? I am sure you know, there are some shops that offer self assembled computers for sale. Are they just as good as computers made by companies? Do they work just as well?

How good are self assembled computers?free spyware

That depends on the "Self" that picks the parts and does the assembly. In choosing the parts if you select a quality motherboard and suitable processor, memory with a bit of "overkill" on speed rating a high quality video card and a sound card that meets your needs as well as a sturdy well cooled case then assemble the parts properly you will likely have a system that is dependable, fast, and upgradeable. The thing to keep in mind is that this option is not for the timid or computer illiterate. Dependability depends on the choices in hardware and abilities of the assembler.

If you mean by "Self assembled" that the Computer shop built it then in most cases it will be dependable. The only advantage the "Big" companies have over the independant Computer shops in this area is Tech support (often offset by the "Little Guy" giving support for his product) and designed in limitations on the user, usually accomplished by limiting BIOS Setup options and pre-loading software. With the small shop you normally wont get the Bundled software but you on average will get a faster, higher power machine that tends to be more upgradeable and will have a longer life than the brand name ones.

There are ways that are not illegal. If you know the static ip address for the computer you can log on it. Just go to search and type in remote. Then find "Remote Desktop Connection" right click and send to desktop. Then just click on the icon and type in the ip address here you will be able to access the other computer.

Hope this helps..
There are programs that do this, but you need to have admin access to do it. Even then, the admins of the net can track what is being done and you would not be in good shape afterwards. I would not suggest you do this. What you could do is send a msg to the IP using the net send command. Go to start, Run and type in cmd and when the cmd window pops up, put net send /? and that will give you the details you need to know to send it.

I have 2 computers and 1 modem how can i get internet on both?

Well i have comcast cable internet and i have the TM402 ARRIS modem it says you can hook up 2 computers to it and have internet on both, one with the usb and one with the ethernet. i have tried and tried but the computer i hook up with the usb does not get internet. the drivers are properly installed so no problem there any ideas??

I have 2 computers and 1 modem how can i get internet on both?hp

The only reason you have the USB and ethernet cable is to give you a choice on how to hook up your first computer if you were in a single computer setup. You don't use both.

Do it this way. Get a router (about $50) and two more ethernet cables. Run an ethernet cable from the cable modem to the router's 'Internet or WAN port'. Then run ethernet cables from the router's LAN ports to each PC.

I have 2 computers and 1 modem how can i get internet on both?mcaffee

No my friend, what you need is a router. Try Netgear.

You have to connect the modem to the router in order to have wireless internet. For a laptop or a USB port on your PC. That's what I use :)
router
Use the ethernet cable from one computer to another
The best solution is to actually get a router/firewall - preferably a wired one - wireless is still too insecure. ~$40 either linksys or D-link brand are ones I have used have had great luck with. you plug your cable modem into the WAN port, and then your 2 computers in one of the LAN ports. this also gives an extra layer of protection against hackers.
let one use the ethernet cable, let that one use wireless.

use the other conputer to connect with the first computer to connect wirelessly. srsly. idk how. but if it is a mac, i know.
