Open IT Forum: What does your setup look like?




 Not many enterprises are going full force into Windows 7. Does your company utilize a mixture of various operating systems? How does this affect adoption of new developments such as Internet Explorer 9? 

Share with us what your set up looks like along with the hassles or benefits, and we'll share 50 knowledge points!
We currently have all our machines still on Windows XP and have only just upgraded some with Office 2007.


Budget dollars just have been too cost prohibitive to upgrade all 1,000 of our workstations. At some point due to licensing and availability we will be forced to upgrade. 


The one thing I’ve noticed difficulty with right off the bat has been the ability to connect via RDP to a Windows Server 2008 box. Without some registry hacks/mods in XP this can be problematic if the server is set to the newest (and more secure) RDP protocol. Windows 7 doesn’t have this issue.
Windows 7 is the operating system for your computer and it must have one to function. You have to install another operating like Windows XP or Vista and then you will be able to use the net. If you have not done this before, you should propably find someone who has to help you. that is where i'd start as well. osi...
so:
1. physical link (maybe check the patch panel and the cabling that's involved in connecting to the computer, maybe swap cables and try a usb to ethernet adapter to rules the nic out.
2. data link - check the switches and switchports on the way. maybe try to use different portts
3. network - most likely not an issue if all the other computers are working fine...
etc.
but this is pretty much it: hi roland, the universal gui will ultimately become a fully-fledged alternative to the windows, web and mobile user interfaces. we will make sure that current layouts (with tabs and inline details) in windows and web are also supported in the universal gui, to make the transition as smooth as possible! Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet? left over pc running freenas.firmware and settings are on a usb stick, not the drive.lots of features/options you don't need, but does what you want simply and cheaply.    slightly more $$ in terms of electricity cost unless the leftover pc is a laptop, but zero $ outlay, and your data is portable and accessible. you would need to buy a licenced copy of windows for every machine. 

linux systems are free and young folks at school would quickly adapt to a different operating system and probably learn more from using linux.

here's a link to a download of a good flavour of linux which you can burn on to a cd or dvd and install it on one of the laptops to try it yourself.

it will be different but there are equivalents to all the programmes to which you're accustomed. <p>i run an in house team for a large ecommorce company in the uk. we all work from the same office. i love having the team around me to bounce ideas of and debate new ways of solving problems.</p>
<p>i can fully understand how you feel, yes they are not yours and the site i work for i don't own - but i have put it a lot of long hours making the site as good as an experience as possible - i would hate for someone to come in and take control.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p> Hello Nanda, Basically you need to include the network drivers and the storage drivers.

+ You can find the drivers from Manufacturer site where you can filter the Category and download –

Like this – <https://snipboard.io/bQt5ER.jpg> well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. hey [@web2033](/u/web2033), you can see more about how to correctly configure functions here:
