Pat is having trouble with her computer and would like someone to
e-mail her the holiday card list, so that she can download it at the
local library and finish her cards.

If anyone can help, please send the list to her at this address:

suzuko at netzero dot net

Thanks!

Sherry,

Which Pat is it you are talking about? I said I would send the list, then
realized that this is not the address I have, so I want to verify the name
before sending the list. You can send it to my email address, if you
prefer.

Mary, yes, it is Pat Davis. I think this one is an alternate e-mail
address she has. Thanks!

I couldn't see the screen on the monitor, it just went black. I rebooted to
see if that would fix it and the motherboard kept repeating "Your memory, we
have a problem" (apparently that is what it has been saying from time to
time when I thought I was hearing "By golly, we have a problem".

So I've done some testing and found that one of the two 512MB modules is
indeed bad, AND the monitor is toast also! Thank goodness I have this little
CRT and the computer can run on one just memory stick for the time being.

Yes, that email is an alternate. I was going to check email at the library
and try to finish addressing my cards (no printer, so no printed list), but
I did not know the password for the centurytel address. Haven't gotten
around to memorizing, changing, or writing it down yet.

But it didn't matter anyway because the library computers were all in use
until closing time. So I mailed out the cards I had already done, and still
have maybe 6-10 more to do. They will, God willing, go into tomorrow's mail.

You are going to shame me into getting into gear on my cards if I can't do
it myself aren't you? (That is meant to be humorous if it doesn't sound
that way)

My computer is behaving badly, but nowhere near that badly. I've just had a
horrible DSL connection for a few weeks and haven't been able to concentrate
well enough to work on it. Feeling sorry for myself as you can't call a
help desk when you can't hear. And yes I know most of the time they are
perfectly useless.

Anybody know what to do when it says it can't repair the connection because
it can't clear the DNS cache? I thought I'd cleared it myself but it still
isn't happy.

I'm very new to this but have a look here:

Thanks, but way over my head. And to think I was once the computer expert
in this town.

All it basically says is you might benefit by turning off Norton Firewall if
you have it.

Crap! Just spent two days fighting a DNS problem at work and now this
on RPCA! DNS is a name resolution service that translates a name like
www.yahoo.com into the appropriate IP address for that name.

Do you leave your computer and/or DSL modem on all the time? If so,
then either your computer or your DSL modem is saving a resolution in
case you need to go to that address again. My suggestion: Shut down
your computer, shut down your DSL modem, power up your DSL modem, then
(when it has "happy lights" indicating a successful DSL connection to
the Internet) power up your computer.

That will clear any cached entries in your modem's DNS cache as well as
your computer's.

Hope this helps, Jo.

I'm crossing my fingers, but this was easy to understand, easy to do, and it
appears to have solved the problem. Now to save this solution where I might
find it again someday.

Thank you!
