Desktop Computers
Q: I need to have 10 Desktop and 10 Laptop computers all networked together and all hooked up to 1 server. Also (3) 24" monitors need to be hooked up to each desktop computer. I would like to know what I need for this project and what it would cost to get it done. It is for a small business just starting out.
A: As asked, this is a pretty open-ended question, and as such very hard to answer.
Does the server already exist?
What's the network operating system (NetWare, Windows, Linux, Mac/OS)?
Is the wiring infrastructure already in place?
Do all the computers have network cards?
Do you need services other than file & printer sharing set up, such as e-mail, proxy, database?
Do the computers need to have applications loaded on them?
Painting with a *very* broad brush, a competent network technician, setting the network up right, will take 5-10 hours to set up the server, and 1-1.5 hours per PC for setup & testing. Rates for network installs can run from $45-$125 per hour.
My desktop computer has an updated anti-virus program and my laptop has expired its anti-virus. I want to connect these computers together because I want to scan the laptop for viruses using my desktop's anti-virus program. Is this possible?
In introducing smaller desktops, Dell is targeting space-constrained organizations, such as those found in education and healthcare settings. Cash-strapped schools are packing more students in classrooms, so less room is available for computers, and hospitals are placing PCs on medical carts or under desks, so smaller is a necessity.
Such "purpose-built" computer designs have become a focus of Dell, Curtis Campbell, OptiPlex product manager, told InformationWeek . In addition, customers in general are demanding systems that reduce overall costs through power efficiency and system management tools.
"Those are critical things that customers are looking for," Campbell said.
The smallest OptiPlex 780 is 9.4 x 2.6 x 9.3 inches, weighs seven pounds, and is Dell's smallest OptiPlex product.
I want to purchase a new desktop computer and I'm choosing between these brands:
Compaq
HP
Dell
Which one is the best brand as far as desktop computers?
I have a desktop computer hooked up to the internet through a broadband connection (computer A). It is hooked up to a wireless router. So I bought a wireless card for the other desktop computer(computer B). After a while, I was able to get the computer's to connect to each other and computer A works just fine, connects to the internet and everything. Computer B will not connect to the internet. It keeps saying it can't connect to internet explorer. I can't get anything online on Computer B, but it does recognize a connection to Computer A. I bought a portable harddrive because I was told that would make setting up the computers easier than doing it manually. I did that, but still no internet on Computer B. What am I doing wrong?
