I have an 8 port 10 M ethernet hub that shares files with my
machine on XP
IS it possible to also share a dial up connection or do I need a router for this ?

If it is possible. ..is it much more complicated than DSL or something...

I had my dvd drive replaced and now it and my cd rom drive won't work. When I shut down the computer they both show up on the device manager, but if I try to use either one they disappear from the list and won't work. I'm running Windows XP on a HP computer.

Mobos faulty and I suspect its the capacitors by the CPU because I hear a high hissing noise. How do I check the capacitors if theyre faulty or not? Also are the capacitors replaceable? Im fairly decent with soldering.

I just received a new modem and am interested in installing it. I have an existing modem connected to my router and am concerned that if I replace the existing modem it may mess up my router configuration. Does installing a new modem have any bearing on the router?

All appears to be normal except there is an icon that says dialup speed but I'm on broadband. Is that the reason? I've tried clicking on it but nothing happens. If this is the problem, how do I change the setting to broadband?

I have a router and want to connect my printer to my home network. That way I can print from my laptop. I do not want to spend a lot of money. So is there some sort of cable that can help me. I have a Lexmark X4270 by the way.

They must have a huge cluster of servers and hard drives. Is it possible that the servers are located in different parts of the globe, yet networked together?

I was in a warehouse of major college, doing service work (on a Liebert Unit, cooling system for DATA rooms) and noticed tons of racks on storage shelves, each rack must have had a hundred hard drives installed. They looked like they'd slide in (like trays) into a large housing somewhere.


All of those hard drives collecting dust, doing nothing, and becoming obselete each day.....
