what motherboard do you use for Intel or AMD? looking for mobo that come with 4 RAM slot and at least allow 4 GB of RAM. What case do you use? I thinking of going with 2U case and what (Intel and AMD) CPU do you think is the most stable and more bang for the buck.
I am hoping to find a dedicated server with the following specs or similar...
Processor: 3.00GHz or 1.8GHz Dual Core RAM: 1-3GB Hard Drive: 20-50GB (Yes, I realize most dedicated servers don't have drives this small.) Windows preferable Remote Desktop Access 30 GB Bandwidth
I plan to use this for running autoclickers and that sort of thing so that I don't need to worry about them on my PC. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I realize this is an odd request.
to install a server for data sharing. My user want a Windows server with remote desktop to write, edit and share document.
The server will host 5 users. one admin and 4 users. each user will have there own account and folder. The user will update word files and save it directly on the server. The admin will have access to each directory (like a fileserver).
I want your recommandation for the share, the OS and the upgradability
What is the advantages of using a Server MB over Desktop MB? Letz compare Intel Entry Board S3000AH with Intel P4D 3.0 with Intel Desktop Board with P4D 3.0. Both will be using DDR2 desktop RAMs.
I am having a VPS and tried to use RDC from home and it i working. But from my office I couldn't since it looks like RDC is blocked when connecting to out of LAN.
I have tried with the support to change the ports couple of times but still didn't work.
I tried: GoToMyPC, IRemotePC etc. But I believe these 3rd part software doesn’t work in Windows 2003 Server.
how to overcome RDC problem or web service or web service that can work on Windows 2003 Server for RDC?
wondering in general and specifically for woodcrest vs conroe and kentsfield vs clovertown
I can't find either
a) an explanation as to why the server cpu's are superior to the desktop equivilents
or
b) benchmarks comparing them.
even mainstream hardware sites like tomshardware has benchmarks for server hdd's, but not server cpu's for some reason.
apart from the ability to use dual cpu's in a single machine, what is the advantage? what warrants the price difference? are there benchmarks available anywhere to compare comparable models? (example, woodcrest xeon 5150 2.66ghz vs conroe c2d e6700 2.66ghz)
since most dedicated server are just desktop pc. i was wondering what would be a great motherboard and tower for home made server for my own use or possible for colo? perfer enought RAM slot for up to 8gig and onboard SATA RAID controller
Does anyone know of a provider that has an Ubuntu Desktop VPS? I've got accounts with fsckvps and xensmart but they only have centos ones - I'll install gnome on of them if I really have to but i'd prefer todo as little leg work as possible as it's for personal use.
This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.
For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.
I am a CS major in college and new to these forums. I wanted to start by saying Hi and asking if anyone has used Spiceworks (spiceworks dot com) and had any complaints/praises? Also, are there any paid alternatives to the product and how do they match up against it.
Id like to know if I could use a remote desktop ( remotely ) as I have about 350msec latency to the server where I am planning to install it. I am planning to use remotely anywhere server .
The directions I recieved were "Please use remote desktop to connect to your server."
So I entered the ip address into the remote desktop connection window and it doesn't connect. Where do I go from here? I searched and can't find any relevant info.
I signed up for a Win2k3 VPS account with 3dgwebhosting. I'm a newbie to Plesk and win2k3 so I spent the first day getting head around Plesk.
I then logged into Remote Desktop only to find someone else had beat me. They'd hacked in and downloaded a mass email client, email stripper and obviously sent out spam from a 2mb text file of email addresses.
I didn't spend long in Remote Desktop, but while there I switched on Windows Firewall, changed my admin login password and logged off. Now, 24 hours later, I can't get back in. I get the error - This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try again.....
I can still login through Plesk, FTP and ExpressionWeb.
Is FW keeping me out of RD or has the hacker returned?
I am setting up xampp on my desktop and when at home, I can develop on either the desktop or my laptop using xttp://localhost/ or xttp://desktop/. When I suddenly need to travel, what's the best/easiest/fastest way to make sure I have the files I need to work with on my laptop?
Is it to install xampp on my laptop, and then copy the files I need from /xampp/htdocs over from the desktop? How would I copy the MySQL databases over as well?
I was also looking into Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0. When combined with scheduled tasks I can do automatic sychronizations once per day. Multiple times per day would be ideal... but I could set up pairings and do manual copying everytime I need to run out.
Are there better ways? I could install the 'master' server on my laptop, but I would prefer to keep it on my desktop (more space, more power, etc.)
I recently got a Windows VPS to run a few applications 24/7. I generally login to the VPS during the day, via Remote Desktop, to review these applications..
However, I frequently have issues. Sometimes, I forget to log out and I will be terminated with a "the remote computer terminated the connection" and then I won't be able to re-login to the VPS. Sometimes I click the X on the Remote Desktop and then when I try to re-connect, I get the same error. Once I got the error "the remote connection has timed out. please try re-connecting to the remote computer again "
And the worse part is that the Remote Desktop can't be restarted alone.. my host has to restart my Windows every time - so my applications go down.
Is it me or is the VPS not supposed to act like this? Why is Remote Desktop so touchy?
I was told by the host that I should always use the Log Off.. however, if I do then Windows says that it will close all my applications.. I don't get any option to Log Off without closing the apps.. so I have to end up using the X.

I have a Packard Bell PC with a 170GB HDD, I have got Partition Magic Version 8.0 and used that to make a partition to install linux on using the 'Install another OS' button and called it linux, but i am also running Windows on the other half... I am currently in the Windows half but want to install Ubuntu Lunux on my linux half. However I dont know how to do it... If I change the Lunix half to active It will mkae the windows not active so i dont think it will boot to windows anymore but the linux one dosent have any files on it...
a while back i had good experience with windows vps.i could remote login, and run things and just relax.
i am looking for ubuntu desktop vps, or any linux desktop vps, that has gui. i think this will be cheaper because there is no license fee to pay unlike windows.
i am looking to purchase around 20 of these small vps, for a project, so i would like the price per vps to be as low as possible.
I am currently accessing Serers through remote desktop (windows 2003). To be on the safe site, i like to allow only 1 IP to access through remote, even better would be through one specfic domain or subdomain.
I have already changed the port number, but still like to have this additional feature.
I know that Windows RDP Hosting is not a new Idea, but has anyone tried it with Ubuntu. I do have VNC Access to the server, but that only allows me to authenticate with a password, I need username and password.
What would be the best remote application for this?
We want to build a file server in our office - either Windows or Linux (doesn't make a difference to us).
We have a lot of satellite offices, and want to have certain computers have access to specific files/folders on the fileserver.
The catch is this... we would like some of our satellite computers to "sync" with the files/folders on the fileserver.
For example, a developer who is constantly working with a particular client, will always want his/her files to sync up with what is on the server.
The developer will want to work with a local copy of the files, and once finished, will upload them to the file server.
A few days go by, and there is a possibility the fileserver has additional information for that client. The developer would then want to download the changed files from the fileserver.
The benefit of working with local files, is that it is quicker to make changes. We can always leave the desktop on overnight to sync between the fileserver and the desktop.
Any suggestions what to look into here?
All of our desktops are on Windows, so we would need a windows application that has this functionality.
Rsync seems to be the closest thing I've found so far.
By default, it seems there are only 2 remote desktop connections allowed to a Windows server. If I need more, for example, up to 10 connections at the same time, how to do that?
