Hi,

I have a different problem. On one of my computers I cannot print on any printer on the network. Everytime i try to print it says "Could not print" sometimes i get access denied sometimes nothing, it just does not print. I put it on any other PC on the network it works fine.. any idea?

And are you sharing this printer or directly printing to the IP with the driver setup on the computer. What user account are you using? You could be running in to the connection limit again, etc.

Happy to help but need some details.

Yeah Budman he didnt even know what a Hub was Im pritty sure he wont know what a RAID is ;) Can you see all your network'd printers print queue's? What kind of printer is it? Look at the manual on how to connect it to a network or are you mapping it through another PC using USB/Parallel etc?

Can you guys please stop with the bashing? And yes every question I have I will ask it here. Thanks to everyone who has helped. Next week I will be re-doing the whole network my self, but instead of windows professional I will be using windows 2003 server because it does not limit me to 10 connections. Out of the whole network in our office the only thing that I dont understand is why there are 30 ethernet cables when there is only 10 computers and 2-3 printers. I cant see where the wires run because they are all placed in the ceiling.

Don't worry Danny, at least you're eager to learn (and a fast learner too). Just keep up the good work!

The extra cables could probably be just installed there to leave room for expansion? (that's my random stab at it) Or just to connect the computers to the hubs/ switches and to connect the network together. Perhaps just go around figuring out which cable connects to which? So you can get an idea of what you're doing when you're re-doing the whole network.

We have gone over the wire thing danny.. You do not need them -- clean them up, the guy before you must of been an idiot!!

There should be only 1 wire to each machine to 1 switch.

I would HIGHLY suggest you clean up the extra wiring -- can you pull out the extra wires? And this time label or mark which machine goes to which port on the switch, etc. If that was a managed switch it would be easy enough to figure out which machine was plugged in where by mac address.

But since its not a managed switch your going to have to use the lights to see witch one goes out, or which one goes on when you plug in the machine.. etc..

But clean up the wiring it will save you headaches in the future if you have problems with a machine, etc. And to be honest if your wanting to learn about network, and do this thing I would prob look into getting a managed/smart switch. Just so you can lean the basics if nothing else.

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
