I was supplied an ethernet cable by my ISP to connect my dsl modem to my computer. Over the years it's gotten old and it needs to be replaced. I'm out looking online for an ethernet cable but I never thought it would be so difficult. What do I need cat5 or cat6? which is best, with gold or without?

Besides what i need, im intrigued, what are the different types of cables used for? anything specific, any better?

I want to use Outlook in my desktop and laptop. But both must reflect the same information and the emails that are saved in either of them. I first configured the desktop outlook and now when I configured the emails on my laptop it does not show all the current emails which are saved on my outlook on the desktop. How can I view both at the same time which reflect the same information?

Thanks.

Is it possible to make a direct cable connection between an ancient windows 95 computer and hook it up to a windows xp via parallel cable? The old windows 95 computer has information I want to store on my newer windows xp home so I can burn it on a cd and finally throw that junk out.

Alternatively, I've tried pulling out my newer hard drive and placing my older windows 95 hard drive into the newer tower but it doesn't seem to do well...it only asks me to restart (im not computer sauvy).

Anyone know how I would hook these two up so i can get the info on my windows xp comp?

Hi, I just bought the components to build a new PC. My MB is a K9N Neo running a AMD X2 6000. When i run the system BIOs, it could detech my WD 250 GB in the BIOS, but when i put the Windows Xp in to install, it could only read 130GB. Now worst still, i accidentally partition it to 80GB for C drive and the other 50GB for the other drive. How can i unpartitioned it? And how can i make the system read 250GB? At the moment i am formatting both drive. Can anyone help?

Thank You

WiFi 802.11n has not yet been ratified by the WiFi Alliance Group, infact it has only reach Draft 2.0 up until now. But so many vendors have relased their WiFi products equipped with this new technology (the 11n), will you follow the trend set by those vendors or will you stay put use the standard 802.11g?

I have created a free webpage in sitemaker, but after weeks its still not found in google search engine. Do all sites take this long? (Free with sponcer ads or paid for). Pardone my ignorance but surley it would be almost instant (Unless a little man has to proof read every site!. If I was in business I would be worried by now.
