AlaskaJoe's Tips
Firewall Problem
If you have two computers that you are trying to connect with a LAN or Direct Cable Connection and are having difficulty, check to see if either of the computers has a personal firewall. If so, check the software manual to see how to allow a specific IP address to have unlimited access. Your firewall will prevent connections by unknown computers and may be misinterpreting the LAN or DCC connection as an attempted hostile attack and block it.

Techno Babble: Bandwidth
Bandwidth is a term used to describe how
much information your computer (usually via modem) can receive in a
predetermined amount of time (per second). The most common measure is Bps (bits
per second). You will also see Kbps and Mbps that stand for Kilo (thousand) bits
per second, and Mega (Million) bits per second.
The larger the bps number, the more information you can receive per second,
therefore, the higher the bandwidth.
This does NOT mean that you will always get faster download time. Download time
also depends upon how fast the computer on the other end is sending information.

Business Tip: Lunchtime Shut Down
When you are performing your daily work, you
are probably opening and closing applications on a frequent basis. By doing
this, Windows actually retains small fragments of applications that are not
removed until shutdown.
To keep your system running at peak capacity, before lunch, log off (if on a
LAN), shut your computer down and turn it off. Wait a few seconds, and then turn
it back on. When it is up, run your virus check (if not done automatically) then
lock your PC and go to lunch. When you return, you will have a clean slate and a
virus-free (hopefully) machine.

Business Tip: Information Overload
In today's fast-paced business world, there is literally no
limit to the amount of information that you can access. Web pages are loaded
with data, employees are gathering information, and documents are abundant!
To help sort through all of this information, de-clutter! If you have icons on
your desktop that you don't need, delete them. If you think you might need
documents, but are not sure, create a series of archive folders on your LAN and
hold them there. A good rule of thumb is to archive, and forget. If you need it
later, you know where to go get it. There is no need to have old documents in
frequently used folders. Archive!

Background Problems
If you have a favorite photo that you have
scanned into your PC and have tried with no success to create a Desktop
Background, then your Scanner software may be defaulting the file type to an
incompatible format.
Scan in the picture, then instead of just saving the file, perform a "Save As"
and change the format to BMP. Now, you can use this file type as your
background. Check your Scanner's manual on specifics of changing the file type.
