kokis0394 asked:


I have a wireless router and I’m hoping to use it to share the cable internet I have on one computer. The router is up and running (I tested for the wi- fi on a device) but my question is how do I connect it to a second desktop PC. I thought of connecting the second PC to the router with an ethernet cable but the cable isn’t long enough. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Sean A asked:


I have a desktop at home and a notebook for work that I’d like to be able to quickly and conveniently hook up to my monitor, keyboard and mouse. The monitor I know how to, but I’d like to be able to quickly use my input devices with either computer without having to unplug/plug the keyboard and the mouse back and forth.
Any gadget expert got an idea?

fwahobadagadz asked:


I was asked to take stock of Staples’ PCs for an internship and make a recommendation. The office uses their computers for software such as Photoshop and Microsoft Office, and some of them have been running pretty slow. Please help me decide which is most ideal and which is the best deal.. I do not know what the budget is, but any insight is appreciated.

$364.98 - Compaq SR5410F - 1 GB RAM, 320 GB HD

$599.98 - Dell 15315-101P - AMD Athlon 64, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HD

$679.98 - HP Pavilion A6430f - AMD Phenom 8400, 3 GB RAM, 640 GB

$899.98 - Dell 1530-102P - Intel Core 2 duo, 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, comes with 22″ monitor

$699.90 - Dell 1531P81 - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 5600, 3 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, comes with 19″ monitor

Hope thats enough information.. parts of my notes were sort of hard to read so hopefully its all accurate. I just need a basic feel for what type is best for an office. Thanks!

I have 2 desktop PCs, both running Windows 98.

How do I transfer data from one PC to the other, by connecting their USB ports?

Do I need any software or a special cable ? Can it be done with just Windows?

Users simply place an O2 Data SIM into the Wireless USB Modem and load the Sierra Wireless Watcher software supplied to a Desktop PC or laptop.

Specifics for wireless card for a desktop PC?

Monday, August 11th, 2008

ipodnano_lover asked:


I’m going to be moving one of my desktop PCs out of my office, so I won’t be able to reach it with an Ethernet cable. I think my best option is going to be to put a wireless modem in it.

As far as I know it doesn’t have one already. Anyhow, I’m looking at my best option for this. I use a Linksys router and my laptop works really well. The router itself is an accelerated router, so I guess a faster one would work.

Is it possible to get one that will just plug into the tower rather than having to install it. I know like on an old laptop you can just put it in the PC card slot, I didn’t know if this was possible for a desktop as well.

Thank you!

what would cause a burned data CD-R to work in some PCs but not others?

ultra_balexbot asked:


i work at a CD/DVD duplication company. recently i had a client who ordered 500 CD-rs with a bunch of PDFs on them. after running the job in my duplicator the client complained about 5 of the discs not working. we got them back and tested them in our computers and they worked fine in all but one. i called tech support on the duplicator today and was told by them that they think the duplicator is fine. what other possible issues could be causing this disc error on some machines but not all? i’ve had the same issue come up with DVD-R’s as well, where a DVD job would play in the clients desktop PCs but not their Laptop PCs. i’ve questioned the media stock, the destination drives, all the obvious stuff. there’s obviously something else i’m unaware of.
