Hello all, again..

My name is Will, Im 19 will be 20 in a couple months, I took a class in Middle School based on Cisco. So I have a basic idea on It, but really nothing further. I have a almost 2 year old son who loves to sit in front of the computer with me as I work, I think ive watched the minion movie on Netflix at least 100 times since my son became obsessed.

The start of my day included Coffee and ML is more or less my newspaper every morning reading forms.I was asked to join ML by My Uncle, who you all know as @Dashrender
Im learning everyday and the more I read, and take part in conversations and the hands on experience I feel my skills improving little by little.

Not to mention making sure I use the right terminology

edit Im interested in sever OS operations as well as Networking ( blame it on Cisco class from middle school) have a little practice in writing HTMI, which has to be my least favorite thing in the world of Computers. One day im hoping to have a job as network Admin or something along those lines.

Me: No we cant see your site online. . .

Customer: But we have internet.

me:Yes I know you have internet. but you are still running Windows XP, and Windows XP doesnt support net frame work 4.2 or higher which is what is needed to run the Command Center Agent (our Remote desktop software) .

customer: what am I paying you for then ? arent you guys supposed to notify me.??

Me: Yeah, and we did.. multiple times actually . however we don't upgrade the OS for free ( not my policy).

Customer: What am I paying all this money for then?

Me: For me to tell you you need to upgrade your OS, and for us to fix your many issues you've had . Everything is well documented and what you are paying for compared to what you get is actually really fair based on your call loads.

Customer: Can I speak to someone else?

Me: they will tell you the same thing... but sure, here's My Boss.

Im ready for tequila.

Update - No one in the house is showing symptoms. No fevers or anything - Doctor said if we dont show symptoms by friday (this week) we can end our quarantine.. SO far So good.

any veterans here?

If so Thank you for your service and happy veterans day.

Back to the original Thread -

Heard from the Network company - they also agree 2 APs are too close together and could be causing a lot of the issues here. They will be doing maintenance next week about this to get it resolved for testing purposes.
He is building a map and looking into other solutions, and he talked with the owner and let him know he was engaged and that we were working together to get this resolved.

So we had a meeting to discuss moving forward and my boss made this comment :

"Guys, Dont be afraid to get on to the forum and list servers via email and ask questions. Will, You are really good about getting the question out there and asking questions giving information. Keep that up and dont be afraid to use it as we move forward."

SO Thank you ML for teaching me how to ask questions in an open forum such as this one

Does anyone know what could be causing that?

Google.
Google Chrome is one of the worst.

Try Edge.

edge does it too..

google chrome is eating up 100% CPU on my laptop intermittently - I had to upgrade and clear cache/browsing data just to get zendesk opened today. looking at task manager and opening chrome it opens 15 instances at once. Does anyone know what could be causing that?

Just had an iPad decide to switch the Ethernet IP setting back to Automatic and it assigned a link-local IP (169.254.x.x) and I'm thankful I finished Network+ classes cause I recognized the IP and was able to have it fixed in 2 minutes (set back to manual and update IP address ) - feeling accomplished today so far.

One of the occasional cases when it’s not DNS. Or the five computer I had here last week where it was DHCP.

Flush and shorten the lease period…

It's always DNS.....

GIMP seems to be the winner; anyone use GIMP a whole bunch?

VLC media player doesn't work

I found Metafox on chocolatey but curious what everyone else is uses

Subject is the question, what are you using if anything to open HEIC files (video files) on Windows 11 ? I get videos from customers showing me problems and sometimes they come through like this, Usually can't open them.
