DNS IP addresses Disappears

Harisheldon1960 — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:22:03 +0000

This is a new one for me. A customer reboots their system and is unable to access the domain. So we try to reconnect it to the domain thinking it fell off, but it does not work. Upon further investigation, I check the network settings and both the DNS static IP’s are missing, strange. I input them and reboot the computer, same thing happens. So I input the IP addresses and now I am able to access the domain. So, as long as the customer does not reboot the server, they are fine.
So, has anyone ever seen this and have an answer on how t fix it? Would appreciate the assist. Thanks.

Replace windows network with Ipad2s and no network?

Mattburnett — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:03:42 +0000

We are a multisite VPN linked company. Our datatbase is web based but we share folders across the windows network.
Can anybody see anything wrong with replacing our pcs with Ipad2s? We could then get rid of our servers, antivirus and firewall and save costs there.
We could share folders using googledocs instead of windows.
We could get desk stands and keyboards to make users more comfortable.
The only problem I can think of is the size of the screen, which if people didn’t get used to we could plug them into a monitor.
I’m sure there must be something glaringly obvious I have missed, if anyone has any thoughts please let me know.
Many Thanks
