I am trying to help someone with their computer. Her "@" won't work. She said a hyphen appears when she presses "@". When she presses the shift key it does capitol letters. The number 2 also works. No other keys have the wrong character or are malfunctioning.

I had her hold down both shift keys for a few seconds and nothing. Then I had her apply sticky keys and the check box is checked. When she hits the shift key the check stays on. As soon as she hits the "@" the sticky key check box un-checks itself.

Another thing is the person can't tell me if this was a problem before because they just got the internet a couple of days ago and never used the "@" character.

We did try a new keyboard and it had the same problem.

I did do a Google search and the only thing I found on the problem are the things I have already tried.

I have never heard of such a thing happening before. I don't have any ideal how to fix it.

Any advice on how to fix this problem would be great!

So I have been researching Remote Desktop options for awhile and have not found the perfect fit for my needs that does not cost an arm and a leg.  Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that I may have missed.

Specifically, this is the functionality that I am looking for:

• The ability for me to remote desktop into an end user's desktop with minimal interaction on their end.  Meaning that they do not need to load or configure anything on their end.  Ideally, I could send them a link to a site and when they click on it the magic happens. 
• File transfer is a desire, but not a requirement.

I'm having issues with my network, the environment consists of windows, solaris, linux and mac. The issue seems to be, any machine that is connected to the wireless network is unable to access any other machine on the wireless network.

Wireless machines can communicate with wired machines.
Wired machines can communicate with wired and wireless machines
Wireless machines can not communicate with wireless machines.

I have a Cisco Aironet 130AG Series Access Point handling the wireless traffic and a cisco 2960 48 port switch handling the wired network.

What could cause this lack of communication?

I may have posted about this before, I'm not sure, so please accept my advance apologies...

At home, I currently run two DSL lines. Right now, we just have two separate LANs, one connected to each line, with my wife's devices attached to one, and my devices attached to the other. For a while now, I've been thinking about setting up a load-balancing routing solution to give both of us access to both lines.

I have the opportunity to acquire a refurbed Cisco Catalyst 2960 at a ridiculously low price. I also have access to a (nominally) spare quad-core 64-bit PC with 8GB of RAM. I say "nominally" because I'm thinking about setting it up as a media center / gaming rig connected to the TV in the den. That's largely beside the point, but it bears pointing out that keeping the PC available for my other needs would be a good thing.

So.

Is it going to be a more-effective solution to drop a few bucks on the 2960 and go through the hassle of learning how to set it up (and then setting it up), or would I be better off putting a secured Linux distro (e.g. gentoo-hardened, or something) on the semi-spare PC and running the load-balancing via iproute2 and friends?

Either way, I'm looking at a learning curve, and a good amount of time fannying around getting the damn thing working -- there's a good chance I'd spend almost as much cash on the PC-based solution getting good-quality network cards, and maybe fast HDD tech (though it seems like RAM and cores would be more important than disk IO).

What are your opinions?

I have some software that does some translation from UTF-8. In Solaris the product has always run fine, but in OpenSolaris I see an error:

ld.so.1: someprogram: fata: relocation error: file someprogram: symbol_iconv_open: referenced symbol not found

Now, from what I have found out is that Solaris used a system call called: _iconv_open
and most Linux use a similar system call in libc called: iconv_open

But apparently there is a slight difference between Solaris and OpenSolaris, which causes this issue.

Does any have ANY knowledge of this? Somewhere I can look to confirm this hypothesis?

Thanks

In my spare time I run two websites and they use joomla as I have a number of users who add content on a regular basis.

So I am looking for a link checking program that identifies 404 links. I use Linux mainly, but would be open to something on Windows. Ideally I would like this to be able to run daily, and send an email, but what ever.

Also, please, don't recommend a Joomla plugin. I have far too many plugins installed already.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone recommend a fairly professional forum hosting service? I am looking for one for a client of mine. In the past I have ran a forum (phpbb) for their site and it becomes an administrative nightmare (updating software, making sure antispam software is updated, spammers, hacks, backups...) after a few months. Honestly, I want to be able to do as little as possible and just pay someone to handle the software side. I can get administrators to weed out spam and moderate.

Thanks

Has anyone here written a Perl module that subclasses DBD::File?

Does it still work with DBI v1.609? If so, what (if anything) did you have to do to make it work? If not, would you like to join me as I investigate what would need to be done to make it work?

Specifically, I'm trying and failing to install DBD::RAM, and kinda flailing around in a sea of badly-formatted code trying to figure out why it wont install for me.

As far as I can tell, DBD::File::db->STORE() is where it's failing (the DBD::RAM test script is trying to set a driver option, and crashing hard), but I can't yet pin down where the problem really is -- do I need to fix (and submit a patch for) DBD::RAM or DBD::File?

Im not quite sure how to describe this issue. So I'll give it my best shot. We are having an issue on our where certain people are able to access our trouble ticketing system and others arent. To elaborate on that lets say the url to access it is tickets.companyxyz.com, there are certain people on the network who can at times access it and at other times can not, while others can access it just fine all the time. I am unsure what is causing this. I feel that it may be a DNS issue. Most of the systems that are doing this are windows XP pro, the service packs range between 2 and 3, mac OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard. So far the only ones not affected are the linux systems.

Any light that can be shed or any questions to help clarify my issue would be appreciated.
