  • Setting up network on Windows 7?

    I had a network set up between two computers at my house before. When we switched to cable internet I had to redo the network. For some reason this time I cant get it to work. I tried the network settings in control panel as well as home group. Neither computers appear on each others networks or homegroup. We are still using the same router as before.

  • Playing PC games Remotely?

    I know there is plenty of software that can let you control your PC remotely, but I want one that supports enough FPS (frames per second) to make it viable for gaming like with Diablo 3. My host computer with the games has about 3 to 4 mbps upload speed and the other computer would have about 2.5 down speed. So I know its possible, though maybe not in HD.

    Know any good software? (that is free or fairly cheap)

  • Good Backpacking in Big Sur?

    I'm planning on going backpacking in the Big Sur area (I believe its part of Monterrey county).

    Has anyone else been backpacking (overnight camping on trails) in the Big Sur area?

    Can you recommend a certain State/National Park? We would prefer a place that is in the forest with all the dense trees (eg the redwoods).

    Thank you.

  • Know Anyone/Anyplace that is Hiring in Tucson?

    Theres a good chance I will be moving to Tucson AZ to attend the University of Arizona. Does anyone know of anybody or any business that they have a personal connection to that is hiring?

    Theres a high chance I wouldn't be able to go that university if I cant find a basic job to help alleviate the costs of housing.

    Any help is much appreciated. The reason why I am looking for places that YOU may have connection to is that I cant come down to Tucson to job hunt since I live in California. But if you can hook me up with an person to send a resume to and maybe even get an interview, than I would owe you big time.

    If you got some info please email me by clicking on my username.
