A ) You are giving strong advice in a clear, advisable manner which I respect and will listen too. That is why I joined this forum after all.

B ) I asked for assistance and advice, if I was too proud to ask for assistance I would not have done so. But, lesson learned, and I got me a handy Ethernet card anyway and the peeps were happy. I was just surprised to see a PC without one, never had seen that before. :thumbs::D
Yep - most PC's have Ethernet ports, - Must have been an old PC not to have had one - Its kind of funny - you try and describe to someone where to plug in the Ethernet cable on the phone -- then you get there and oops -- no port (bugger).:p

(highlighted above) VERY good - thats what I always say as well -- if in doubt ASK - better to ask and find out than blunder on and get frustrated or make things worse.


There's your problem Wainui, drugging your backups should have just given it alcohol :lol: Tell you what - I needed the booze after that lot -- Murphys law - phone doesn't ring all damn day, then when the PC is out of action I needed to get into my customer data base 3 times. Wasn't worth loading it into another PC from backups.

839259 2009-12-15 22:12:00 Haha. Yes, well. Try explaining that to the customer standing right next to you.

Luckily I have never had to.... yet

I was looking at a friend's PC though, we suspected the motherboard of being faulty, when the PSU suddenly went bang. I found out later the 5v standby transistor had blown. Never figured out what caused that - and it was an Enermax too, not some cheap Hyena.

Then again nothing is immune to failure
