    Your dns does not look correct to me.

    You should only have fwmfg.local not the msdcs.fwmfg.local

    There is no reason for the alias’s. Instead you should have host entries with their ip addressess like
    fw001 Host(A) ip address static
    fw003 Host(A) ip address static

    You should also see
    _msdcs
    _sites
    _tcp
    _udp
    here. Do you?

    It appears someone has been editing the dns server entries. Who and when did this happen?

    We also have the issue of 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback ip which if being consulted for dns goes nowhere.

    Do you see the 1.0.0.127 in the reverse lookup zone? What do you have listed for dns in the servers dns tcp/ip properties?

    Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

  3. If you connect only low power devices like keyboards and mice to the hub you should be OK. For best results hubs should be AC poweredYou could also add a USB PCI card. Look at the link below.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...

    When you power up – is there “any” sign of activity at all from the laptop; fans, hard drive activity (vibrations from it spinning up) etc.?

    Can you recall anything odd/unusual the last time it worked OK?

    Not at all sure where you got the alt + F10 combination from; not one of Acer’s standard combinations…?

    Alt + F5 is the standard Acer combination to toggle from the built in display, to the vga o/p, and then to both at the same time.. Perhaps you might try that combination and see if anything displays? Try it after you feel/think the system may at least have booted up – even though you can’t see anything…

    Another test:

    Download and burn to a dvd a linux variant ISO. Ubuntu.com is where to get one for ubuntu (free). Boot with that dvd. If it works Boots into a linux desktop) then at least it indicates the hardware (motherboard included) is likely OK.

    Ubuntu will load into RAM only; and if it manages that then you ought to be able to access the hard drive and at least access/save your files to external storage. Once that is achieved you can more safely start to troubleshoot a little more easily; knowing your personal files are safe elsewhere.

    Presumably you haven’t installed it?

    That being so possibly you are being plagued by malware/spamware etc..

    Run a few cleaners to eradicate anything that “may” be lurking – and about which you know not..

    These are some of the items we advise on the forum; there are one or two others as well – should they be needed.

    Install each using the manual/custom option – NOT the default/proffered automatic. Watch for and uncheck all pre-checked boxes – apart from the one for the utility itself. That way you avoid installing all manner of junk, and nuisance changes; much of it being a true PIA to eradicate. Sadly so many accept the default automatic installation path – and then the system slowly gets junked up…

    Run them in this order:

    Adwcleaner

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/do…

    Malwarebytes

    http://filehippo.com/download_malwa…

    Junkware Removal Tool (JRT)

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/do…

    Installs to the desktop, from you run it. It will open into a small dis style window; follow instructions therein. It will reboot the system as part of its process.

    Also run ccleaner which will do much that diskcleanup does and some of the same as the above utilities.

    http://filehippo.com/fr/download_cc…

    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    https://support.kaspersky.co.uk/vir…

    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/3640…

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det…

    Download the ISO; burn to a DVD; boot with that DVD. It loads into RAM only; then goes online to update itself. After-which it will scan the system fully. It will dig out and deal with anything it finds that hides within Windows system files and which cannot be dealt with whilst Windows is booted up.

    Each of the above utilities goes after different pests; although there is some overlap.

    There are two things you can try.

    1. Repair the offline file with a Microsoft utility called SCANOST.exe. I’ve seen this file reside in a number of different locations, mainly within Program Files. It might be best to search for it with Windows or Google Desktop. SCANPST.exe will also work, though you’ll have to go digging for your outlook.ost, which should be near c:\Documents and Settings\%profile%\ Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost. If your file is significant in size, you’ll save a lot of time with the repair operation by not creating a backup. Because if the repair finishes successfully and Outlook still bombs, you’ll need to…
    2. Shutdown Outlook completely, including any runaway outlook.exe processes in the task manager. Open Mail in the Control Panel and before you delete your profile completely, write down the server settings! There’s no need to worry about backing up your mail as it’s stored on the Exchange server. (Essentially, you’re deleting that outlook.ost when you drop your mail profile.) Now, start Outlook and it will create a new profile, where you’ll configure the server with the information you wrote down previously.
    Outlook will start normally again.

    So you want to do this:

    BTInternet (Assuming this is a wireless cable router) -> cable run to DLink (1 of the 4 Ethernet ports) -> wireless in garage

    That should work. I would suggest turning off DHCP in the DLink as long as whatever BTInternet provided you supports DHCP and has the ports to run the ethernet cable to. what did BTInternet provide you for equipment? Do you have any other routers?

    To make your DLINK into a wireless hub.. Disable DHCP, plug your cable into one of the four ethernet ports, and configure the wireless settings (SSID, Security, etc). It will allow for wireless connectivity, but act as a bridge between your BTInternet device and your wireless clients connected to the dlink.

    Had the same problem with the new 5s, but follow these instructions from the logitech site and it’ll appear and par on your iphone in seconds:

    To pair your wireless headset with a Bluetooth device:

    1. Set the slider switch to the Bluetooth icon.
    2. Slide the track switch to “Next” and hold, and press and hold the “Volume up” button at the same time, until the link LED indicator blinks rapidly.
    (it may be blinking now, but it’ll blink rapidly after)

    You should now see the headset show up in your iphone Bluetooth device listing. Just click it and presto…you’re wireless.
