Re: Monitor Recomendations Jörgen Andersson5-Oct-11 10:01 Jörgen Andersson 5-Oct-11 10:01  I should add that a PVA panel is almost as good as an IPS panel if you find them expensive. List of common misconceptions Re: Monitor Recomendations Albert Holguin5-Oct-11 7:09 Albert Holguin 5-Oct-11 7:09  I have a Samsung that works very well and has all sorts of connectors (HDMI, DVI, VGA, and coax for RF input). It has a built in TV receivers (ATSC/NTSC, maybe others although I don't use anything else). My model is somewhat old, but I'm sure they make a recent model. TigerDirect's selection of Samsung LCDs with TV tuners: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=1046&name=&Nav=|c:12|m:758|&Sort=0&Recs=10[^] Note: HDMI does not turn off the monitor automatically when hooked up to your computer, its a minor annoyance but its the only issue I've had. Re: Monitor Recomendations omel201115-Nov-11 20:58 omel2011 15-Nov-11 20:58  HDMI and DVI in display quality is just the same,, the main difference between hdmi and dvi is that hdmi also carries audio together with video so, if you have a monitor with speaker, you can use a hdmi to utilize that. [SOLVED] Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover3-Oct-11 18:10 CodingLover 3-Oct-11 18:10  Hi all, I have two XP machines and I want to connect from one to the other. I can access shared folders from one to the other. Also it's possible log in through RDP. But once I ping to the machine through the IP it ends with request time out. Any workaround to fix it? Thanks. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover modified 7-Oct-11 1:09am. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Luc Pattyn3-Oct-11 21:26 Luc Pattyn 3-Oct-11 21:26  do you have TCP/IP enabled on those machines? Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover3-Oct-11 22:49 CodingLover 3-Oct-11 22:49  Of course. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Chris C-B3-Oct-11 23:53 Chris C-B 3-Oct-11 23:53  Check your firewall settings. I don't know what firewall you are using but if it is the XP standard firewall, and it is turned on, then you will need to set the appropriate exceptions, or ping will not respond. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover4-Oct-11 0:20 CodingLover 4-Oct-11 0:20  Yes Chris, I already did that too. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Chris C-B4-Oct-11 0:49 Chris C-B 4-Oct-11 0:49  Have you tried with both firewalls turned off? Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover4-Oct-11 18:49 CodingLover 4-Oct-11 18:49  Yes it is. But nothing works. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Erudite_Eric4-Oct-11 1:21 Erudite_Eric 4-Oct-11 1:21  As ChrisB said, turn off the firewall. ============================== Nothing to say. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover5-Oct-11 16:37 CodingLover 5-Oct-11 16:37  I have already did that. But no luck. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Bernhard Hiller4-Oct-11 2:16 Bernhard Hiller 4-Oct-11 2:16  There is another point: you must "Allow ICMP Echo Request", otherwise Windows won't send a reply back to sender. See e.g. http://wiki.phys.ethz.ch/readme/how_to_enable_icmp_echo_requests_ping_in_windows_xp_service_pack_2[^] Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover4-Oct-11 18:49 CodingLover 4-Oct-11 18:49  Bernhard Hiller wrote: you must "Allow ICMP Echo Request" Did it too.

CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Chris C-B4-Oct-11 23:20 Chris C-B 4-Oct-11 23:20  As all the suggestions you have received have drawn a blank, you will have to look deeper. The only remaining possibilty that I can see is that the file shares and RDP are using the machine name, and you have DHCP enabled in the router (you are using one, aren't you?), and the IP has changed from what you thought it was on a new lease. Otherwise, the whole thing is starting to look rather weird. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover5-Oct-11 16:41 CodingLover 5-Oct-11 16:41  I can access the file share and RDP using IP as well as the machine name. But cannot ping in either way. Earlier DHCP is disabled with my router, enable and tried the same. Still it's not working Chris. Wired! I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Erudite_Eric5-Oct-11 0:38 Erudite_Eric 5-Oct-11 0:38  Next you can try a dns cache fluch on both machines (ipconfig /flushdns). If you are pinging by machine name then you can get issues. Next you want to look at the subnets the machines are on, and if they have routing between them set up correctly (I assume you can since other file and printer sharing seems to be working, but it is worth checking anyway). ============================== Nothing to say. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping jschell5-Oct-11 9:21 jschell 5-Oct-11 9:21  You obviously have physical connectivity between the two boxes. So exactly how is that physical connectivity achieved? And why do you care if you can ping? It isn't all that useful. Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover5-Oct-11 16:38 CodingLover 5-Oct-11 16:38  Simply connect them through a router. I am worried, because it is quite unusual. I can RDP and access shared folders but cannot ping. It's interest to me to know that. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Luc Pattyn5-Oct-11 17:15 Luc Pattyn 5-Oct-11 17:15  FWIW: I just had an issue with ping failing between two machines of which one had not only TCP/IPv4 but also v6 enabled on the network adapter I was using; disabling that solved it for me. Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Re: Accessible, but cannot ping CodingLover6-Oct-11 19:08 CodingLover 6-Oct-11 19:08  Finally! That solve my problem too. I have enabled v6 a long time back, and haven't thought of it at this incidence. Thanks for pointing me Luc I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: Accessible, but cannot ping Luc Pattyn6-Oct-11 19:12 Luc Pattyn 6-Oct-11 19:12  You're welcome. Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum iSad My System Details CodingLover3-Oct-11 0:10 CodingLover 3-Oct-11 0:10  Hi all, Is there any single tool which I can use to collect all my system details (HDD, drivers, serial numbers, CPU, memory, etc..). Exporting to a file is handy. Thanks CodingLover I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover Re: My System Details jschell3-Oct-11 9:06 jschell 3-Oct-11 9:06  The type of system is relevant. If it is windows then you can look at 'sysinternals' (now own by Microsoft.) Re: My System Details CodingLover3-Oct-11 17:42 CodingLover 3-Oct-11 17:42  Thanks for the reply. Let me try it. I appreciate your help all the time... CodingLover
