HELP!!!
Can someone please give me one or two DNS server addresses? I'm trying to help a friend get online.
eta: Or can someone tell me how you get the DNS servers that an XP Win 2000 machine is using (using DHCP)?
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If you use the "ipconfig" command from the command line, it doesn't tell you what DNS servers it's using?
Nope. But I poked around and eventually found it. So now my friend is online for the first time in 3 days. She was blaming her new iBook... but now it is vindicated!
eta: Oddly enough, her iBook can't use DHCP to connect to her home WiFi network, but mine can. But if she enters all the info manually, she can connect.
Thanks Tom for helping my sad little ibook!
You're welcome.
Excuse me, I have to use your bathroom.
So the sling thingie above goes in *conjunction* with the TiVo, yeah, not replacing? Cause, damn, with the amount of travel I do, and how spoiled I am when I sit in hotel rooms and get mad I can't pause or rewind? WOW would that be an awesome thing to have. But I'm not sure it would be $250 worth of awesome...not unless it also replaced my (still dead) TiVo.
Times like this ...
Windows File Protection
Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognised versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files.
Insert your Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD now.RetryMore Information¹Cancel
I don't have one! I fell for the automatic update crap (well, auto-download, not auto install) so I don't have the files lying around to be burned to CD. I hit the MS website, but since I haven't rebooted since my last update, they won't let me grab anything else, including SP2.
¹: Tells me I don't have a CD in the drive ... so helpful.
I have to take the cancel option -- if you don't see me again, it's because I was eaten from the bottom by an imbroglio of system files.
meara, alas, it's not a replacement.
I'm betting the price will come down, in time.
Or that TiVo will update their software to include a similar feature in the future!
TiVo should work on desktop software for Tiger first.
