!HELP! Charter High Speed Dropping Connections
by Guest Simsy512@gmail.com- 0 replies
- 97 views
I recently had a tech come out and replace our modem because it was consistently dropping connections. Unfortunately, they brought the same type of modem, which is now also dropping connections. I went to Best Buy and bought a Motorola Surfboard for $80 and that also, is dropping connections. The technician replaced a switcher and the modem and it seems to drop more often when I am playing on XBOX Live on the 360. I have a Linksys WRT54G router ver. 8 attached to the modem, but I don't think that would cause an issue. Any help anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

Terminal Server VPN Question
by Guest John W- 0 replies
- 149 views
We have some remote users that are using a remote dekstop connection to access our company network. On the TS there is a VPN connection to an off-site AS400. If you sit at the TS machine you can use the VPN fine but if you remote to the machine the VPN will not connect. Is this something that is not allowed or does anyone have a suggestion how to correct the problem? Thanks!

Hello to all, I have some serious problems with the WUA on my PCs. It always appears the svchost.exe error message (The detailed error is: "unknown software exception" (0x000001d)) We have already made the following steps to solve the problem: - Installed the Microsoft KB927891 Update - Updated the WUA to Version 3.0 But the problem was still there.

Does anyone know what these files are ? It's taking up a huge 2,33GB of space. I must assume it's part of the Vista OS, right ? Maybe not, and possibly safe to delete to free up a lot of space.

Minor dialup problem
by Guest Hsherman- 0 replies
- 103 views
I have a curious problem with my dialup connection specifically when closing IE. In all previous editions of Windows, when closing IE, a "Do you wish to close your dialup connection" window appeared. On Vista betas and the retail VHP, this window was not present and I assumed that it was dropped in IE-7. However, about 3 months ago, it suddenly reappeared, and clicking yes closed the ISP connection the same as in previous editions. This lasted until about 3 weeks ago, when it again disappeared. This is no big problem, but a little annoying since to close the connection, it is necessary to click the network icon, select "Connect or Disconnect", and …

Hello, I'm using Vista 64 Home Premium and when any program use the save or open dialog Vista always uses a different listing.

How can I set to always use the "list" view in all program and in all file dialog? Thanks in advance!
