Can a linksys wireless usb adapter work with a netgear wireless router? I have a RangeMAX Next Wireless router and also came upon a Lynksys Wireless-B USB network adapter and I was wondering if the two would work together. I have hooked them up and I know the router is working fine and my computer says the adapter is also working properly, but I have not figured out how to configure the adapter settings to put in the Network name and passphrase to connect and so far it isn't working. Any ideas? I was thinking to open the connection just to see if it will connect, but thought I would ask before i waste too much time.

I want to know why most DSL providers use the "first-timer" scam. Not only that, but what is the cheapest yet reliable DSL provider without all the "hidden" garbage? I hate the "first-timer" deals with any kind of internet, since they aren't the real price of a service. I don't know which DSL internet providers have set prices for their internet services.

i went away to college, and they have you install security programs on your computer. While i was at school i had to install a bunch of other things as well, i downloaded aim, and stuff like that so i could talk to my friends, adobe reader, and things like that. now im at home, and i wanted to uninstall everything that i dont use becuase my desktop looked like a mess. so i did. its currently not hooked up to any internet or anything. ever since i did that, every time i try to log on, or try to click on anything, it starts to load, but just ends up looking stuck and a blurry picture. Also the monitor goes on and off all the time! everytime i try to click on something it does that also. sometimes it will go into sleep mode and even if i move the mouse it doesnt wake up! one time a blue screen came up and was like "if this is the first time seeing this message, restart the computer. if its not do the following." its a dell and windows, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

All of the users on our network can access the Access 2000 DB on the server, except for one person who keeps getting the above error, "File could not be locked".

I can also use his ID from a different PC and log in successfully.

The databased is set to "shared", not "exclusive".

He had no problems originally accessing the DB until the day that I had to
repair his Office installation to fix a problem he was having with Outlook.

I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling office, with no success.
