Just had a problem where all the outbound traffic was peaking to max and holding causing tons of problems with voip products and other outbound traffic, but most noticeable on streaming media.This problem occured just after installing Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). Actually several things happened at the same time including new computers on my network, so I had to do some sniffing to find where it was coming from. I finally used ProcMonon my own machine and found PMB.exe pushing out tons of...

Well Sage software did it again. They released a tax update to download automatically into Peachtree 2009 Complete accounting (also Quantum 2009) but didn't download the required SR update to go along with the Tax update. When I went to the menu option, Services/Check for updates, I got nothing.So we are forced to go to a link that only shows up in the Tax update completion screen and if you don't get it there, you'll have to hunt for it.Here's the link:http://www.peachtree.com/readmore/Peachtree_2009SR5You...

I had a customer who lost their DSL connection and knowing Verizon's usual troubleshooting techniques, I went through them myself before I called. Unfortunenately, the problem was that the customer had not paid for their service. The phone line worked for incoming calls just fine so that wasn't an indicator. The DSL line was the fax line. I did notice that when I connected to the DSL modem admin page, the public IP address was 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. Now that the service is running again, the IP address...

I got ahold of both the Blackberry and iPhone yesterday to perform the transfer. We did have to go back to the Verizon store so they could activate the Blackberry phone again. On the Blackberry, I just needed to direct the browser to m.google.com and install the Google Sync software. The page contains an link for all the Google mobile apps and then individual links for the separate Google apps so you can download and install them one at a time. The app installed without a problem. I set up the...

Installed pgAdmin on a newly setup Windows XP Pro machine.  I kept getting this error with pgAdmin 3 version 1.10.4, which I had just downloaded from the pgAdmin site.  I tried downloading and installing their most recent version 1.12.2.  That version gave an error which indicated that a reinstall might fix it.  

This site had the fix.  Apparently, pgAdmin needs to have the Microsoft C++ 2005 distribution package installed.

I just setup Google voice to pick up my voice mail for my cell phone instead of the standard that Verizon offers. My issues with with the standard voicemail is the limited storage, limited days they keep the message, the abrupt notification when you go to check new messages that it’s going to delete the expired messages, the fact that there’s no date and time stamp on the message until you are forced to delete the message.The pluses on Google voice is their storage. You delete messages...

I have a client that went with the Verizon iPhone after his Blackberry umbilical cord broke. It appears that it might be in the phone side, because it won’t charge, it won’t backup or synchronize or update. Now the problem was how to get the contacts out of the blackberry and into the iPhone.My client told me that the people at the Verizon store were no help. I have always thought that they would have all the gadgets needed to perform these tasks, but apparently not. Or at least, they...

Just got a call from Integrated Access Solutions today.  The sales person claimed that they acquired Nortel and that they had better more sophisticated solutions rolling out and that eventually Nortel would disappear from the market.  The sales man's actual words were "squash the product."  Interesting, I can't find anything on this claim.

After determining that we didn't have over 100 phones and/or multiple locations, he ended the call because they weren't on the page yet.  Looking at what I believe to be their web site at www.integratedaccess.net, these guys are looking more to do an overall systems replacement.  Phone systems is just an inlet for an proposal for infrastructure take over.
