    Most SOHO routers come with DHCP configured the same. For the sake of this post, we’ll use the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Here’s a typical SOHO config:

    Router LAN IP = 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
    DHCP Enabled = yes
    DHCP Scope = 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199

    The “scope” is the IP’s made available to DHCP clients connecting to your router. If you log into the management interface of your router then you can check what the scope is on your unit. Once you know the scope, then you simply pick an IP not in the scope and use it for your printer. Be careful not to use the LAN IP of the router.

    As per my example above, I would use something like 192.168.1.10 for the printer.

    Don’t worry about reservations or exclusions, just pick one not in the scope. This avoids potential duplicate IP’s and you don’t need to worry about making any configuration changes on the router.

    It matters not how straight the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul.

    Hello,
    Since Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu, you can try the steps in this link to install virtualbox on your Zorin OS –

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/V…

    Alternatively, you can also use Synaptic Package Manager to install Virtualbox (or anything else) onto Zorin. To install Synaptic, type the following on terminal –

    sudo apt-get install synaptic

    and after it installs you can type “vbox” on the search bar of the Synaptic window and search and install it. Simple!

    Get back with results 🙂

  3. Solution Found! Afraid it was an ID-10T error. I mistook a smart card reader slot for a multi-card reader device. Problem solved with the ordering of a UTech Smart USB Memory Card Reader. Appreciate everyone's assistance.

    Did the high performance setting, and I guess it helps.

    I have found a way, though. I believe there’s a way to specify how much video memory an application will have available by typing a command on the game console. So the command depends on the game, and since some games (specially new ones) don’t have a in-game console, there’s always options to input commands, usually by a .txt file directly on the game install folder.

    This has notoriously helped the gaming experience.

  5.

    The external drive CANNOT show up in Computer and Windows Explorer in Windows 7 or Vista (or in My Computer and Windows Explorer in XP) unless it has had a software file system installed on it that Windows recognizes – FAT, FAT32, or NTFS – on at least one partition, that file system has been Formatted, and it’s been assigned (a) drive letter(s) in Disk Management.

    Similar applies for ANY operating system.

    “Even if the hard drive has some issue the enclosure should show up in Device Manager as a mass storage device.”…. under USB Controllers, and under Disk Drives as a USB device

    “When viewing Windows Disk Management you should expand the screen to full. The drive may be showing at the bottom of the list. Even if you wiped the drive it should still appear in Disk Management.”

    If it doesn’t show up in Disk Management and Device Manager…….

    – the external drive MUST be plugged into a USB port that can actually supply 500 ma of current

    – the external drive may NOT be detected correctly when it’s plugged into certain USB ports

    Troubleshooting USB device problems including for flash drives, external drives, external memory card readers.

    ….

    In addition to the info there….

    For some desktop mboards you can have problems when an external hard drive is plugged into one of a pair of USB ports on the back of the case that are connected to the same USB controller, if there is another device plugged into the other USB port for the pair, because the pair can’t actually supply 500 ma per port – they can only supply 500 ma in total. Usually those pairs of ports are one above the other, not beside each other. If you have two devices plugged into such a pair of ports, try plugging one of them in elsewhere on the back of the computer.

    For MANY laptop and netbook mboards similar applies. The built in USB ports often cannot actually supply 500ma per port – they supply 500 ma in total for two ports that are close to each other. In that case, the external drive should work fine if it’s the ony thing plugged into the USB ports built into the laptop or netbook, or if you have more than two ports, the only thing plugged into two ports close to each other.

    Your external “portable” (2.5″) external drive is NOT being detected at all.

    Assuming that you or someone else has NOT dropped the external drive….

    The USB port your plug the external drive into MUST be able to actually supply 500 ma of current (amperage).

    It MAY NOT be detected if it’s plugged into an external USB hub, or the front ports on a desktop case.

    ………..

    If you or someone else HAS dropped the external drive, the external enclosure or the hard drive inside of it or both may be DAMAGED.

    Replacement external enclosures are relatively cheap to buy.

    The hard drive can be checked to see if it still works by removing it from the external enclosure and connecting it one way or another to your computer or to another computer such that you’r e not booting from the drive.

    I also sell on Craigslist…..with no number but always reply via email with a number. You can tell a lot about a person listening to their voice and how they speak.

    Just open ‘my computer’. Right click on ‘my computer’ and choose ‘properties’. The product ID will show there. For windows 95 the product key and product ID are the same. By the time windows 98 came along MS apparently decided that wasn’t a good idea and separated the two. Now, even using the same key, separate installations produce different IDs.

    There’s also a small utility called ‘diag.exe’ that will extract the key from the registry for both 95 and 98 if you want to go that route. (I tried to find a download for that but the old link is dead and apparently there’s other ‘diag.exe’ files that aren’t for that purpose. I can email it to you if you want it.) It’s only a 23K file and runs from command prompt.
