I have until recently been successfully using a Dynalink RTA1025W wireless router for an ADSL2+ connection. It was used wirelessly for my laptop, running Ubuntu 7 and through ethernet cables to an XBox 360 and a pc and laptop running xp. I recently had the router replaced under warranty due to an unrelated hardware problem and the replacement unit will only interface with the wireless laptop and the xbox. When attempting connection with the windows computers, it says they're unable to renew their ip addresses. I have looked for this problem extensively on the Web but have never found an example of where the problem was a new router of the same model. Does anyone know of any settings for the pc or router that I should try in order to solve the problem? Help would be greatly appreciated and I'd be happy to give further details Mix Lord ( talk) 07:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

ipconfig/renew takes ages then says "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.
ipconfig/all gives the following info Primary DNS Suffix................... Node Type............................Unknown Ip Routing Enabled...................No WINS Proxy Enabled...................No
Connection-Specific DNS Suffix....... Description..........................SiS 900-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter Physical Address.....................00-14-2A-78-3F-83 Dhcp Enabled.........................Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled............Yes IP Address...........................0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask..........................0.0.0.0 Default Gateway...................... Dhcp Server..........................255.255.255.255
Apologies if I have uploaded any sensitive information there which may make my computer vulnerable.
We just bought my computer illiterate mother-in-law an HP desktop with (legit) Windows 7 Home. What's the best free antivirus that I can install and set to regularly run/update itself on a regular schedule? In addition to the usual Admin / User account split, I want to make this desktop as bullet-proof as possible (for free) so that I don't have to be constantly going over there to do recoveries and such. I think most people with tech un-savvy parents can relate. I was thinking Spybot S&D would be a good start due to its realtime registry protection. Anything else? 61.189.63.188 ( talk) 10:49, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I get this message in my Ubuntu terminal when I use Truecrypt:
(truecrypt:8647): Gtk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.12.9/gtk/gtkwidget.c:8547: widget class `GtkPizza' has no property named `row-ending-details'
What does it mean? Quest09 ( talk) 11:39, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I have a very basic knowledge of Python and I am working in a simple program, mostly to myself and to learn the language.
I just want it to open a text, display it and if you double click a word, it should show the definition (from a dictionary) of the word in a separate window.
I know how to do things like opening, the dictionary with the definition and simple stuff. But how do you associate a double click on a word to an action?
Furthermore, can you have a Python window with drag-and-drop properties? Like you drag a file into it and the program opens it? -- ProteanEd ( talk) 17:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
1. Does My Computer essentially mean your whole computer where ALL files are located? Which means, if I wanna do an extensive search through the whole computer (in my case, for virus), selecting "My Computer" as the location would mean my whole computer?
2. Another computer is infected by virus (NewFolder.exe), on 12 March 11:20PM GMT+8. I have already rebooted it to Safe Mode. If I am to conduct search with the following criteria:
Is it safe to assume that the result will show ALL the virus files in my computer? Due to some reasons I don't have an updated antivirus program, and since the computer has plenty of important stuffs that aren't mine, I can't afford to reformat it.
Quick reply will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. — Yurei- egg tart 19:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
CHEERS EVERYBODY, thank you for all the concern, my brother came to the rescue and got it done in 20minutes, no reformat required. He reckoned it was a weak virus. I got scolded, but not as bad as expected :'))) There's still rootkit left in the computer, but it should be okay from now on. Thanks again for all the help! — Yurei- egg tart 12:19, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
What is the name of the task manager executable on Windows 7? (like taskman.exe, taskmanager.exe, or something like it). I'd like to be able to start the task manager via a shortcut. Thanks. 82.113.121.104 ( talk) 23:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Not answering the question, but Process Explorer is much better —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fire2010 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
