Glad they let it happen.<br /> Years ago I had a dog that I trained for field trials. He was stolen. He'd never "escaped" from our home. Looking for him, got a call from on who had found him. Not. But close. Took that dog as it did not get along with his little dogs. Advertised him etc. Long story short, it became attached to my Dad. Only dog I knew in my life that did. Dad died while I was in 'Nam. The pain of losing my dog was more than made up for by knowing my Dad had such a loving dog as his. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10410#post-52101 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 20:19:01 +0000 Infinidean 52101@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for choking me up. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.winextra.com/forums/my-plugins/smiley-choice/Default Smiley/icon_cry.gif&quot; title=&quot;:cry:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/10410#post-52099 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:10:23 +0000 moosepucky 52099@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://easterniowahealth.com/2011/06/15/a-dying-man-gets-his-last-wish-to-reunite-with-dog/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://easterniowahealth.com/2011/06/15/a-dying-man-gets-his-last-wish-to-reunite-with-dog/</a></p> <p>I do not know if this dog will ever settle in with a new family/owner.

The LAN cable works with this machine so it and the router are ok. Thing is the computer thinks it's connected by wireless but IE doesn't connect. Status shows no bytes received.</p> <p>The machine should be in the same state at which it was received new. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47859 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:42:17 +0000 Pierre 47859@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Have a look in the Device manager: when connected to the docking station, does the NIC appear different from when stand-alone, or are there two NICs instead of one? If you answer yes to either question, then any hardware fault is more probably with the cable or with the router. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47858 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:28:21 +0000 Nate 47858@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Well, I installed the Fujitsu drivers and rebooted. Still no LAN connectivity so I think it is time to declare a hardware alert. </p> <p>With machines this old probably not worth while diagnosing and fixing?</p> <p>Probably should try it while not connected to the base station/stand first. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47856 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:08:46 +0000 David 47856@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>Should be the first job immediately after the install. Some machines can be a bit picky about the order in which things are installed. See if there's a readme on the driver disk with any advice. If not I'd start with mobo and IDE drivers then graphics and finally work through the peripherals.</p> <p>Stay offline through the whole process. </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47854 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 18:23:20 +0000 Nate 47854@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <p>I'm installing now. Fujitsu supplied a disk with some of it's own drivers. At what point should I install them? </p> http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47849 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 14:48:32 +0000 Pierre 47849@http://www.winextra.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>nupreacher <a href="http://www.winextra.com/forums/topic/9643/page/3#post-47846" target="_blank">said</a>:</cite><br /> I've started using a program called device doctor to download drivers.
