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!
Okay, but the problem is that the router keeps trying to dish the same IP address to 2 devices. I know it *shouldn't* happen, but it has been for months.
I set my router's DHCP to start at x.x.x.100 through x.x.x.200, which means that I can have up to 100 devices obtain ip automatically, but reserves x.x.x.2 through x.x.x.99 (and 201-254) for static IPs.
Seems to work for me, and if I have to I can change a device to DHCP quickly.
I need some Buffista-riffic help!
I have a small Western Digital external hard drive that I've been using as my back-up via Time Machine. I have an Apple MacBook Pro, BTW.
Anyway, I got tired of dragging it around with me while I was and internet gypsy. Well, I plugged it back in when I got back online, but I just noticed it wasn't backing up. In fact, the computer doesn't seem to recognize it anymore.
I've plugged it into both USB ports and neither make a difference. It did get dropped once...or twice.
Could I have killed it? Is there anyway to get the data off of it?
Can you guys help me make a call? I want to get the cheapest laptop possible. Each of these is $300:
- Compaq - Presario Laptop / AMD V-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / 2GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - available today
- Toshiba - Satellite Laptop / IntelĀ® CeleronĀ® Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - not available til next week
I think the Toshiba is objectively better, because of the memory, right? But I want it NOW!

The Toshiba has a better chance of sucking less than the Compaq.
Ha! The Compaq is basically what I have now (from 3 years ago), and I am pretty comfortable with its level of sucking.
OK, fine, I got the Toshiba. Done!
Ha. I totally agree with Tom. The Toshiba is better.
