Fix for Upsalepoint.com Hijack |
|
A number of customers are calling in about a "weird Google problem" that is taking them to a website called Upsalepont.com. This is a NOT a problem with Google, but a spyware on the user's machine. If you are our customer, please run a full scan of F-Secure on the infected hard drive. If you do not have F-Secure installed on your machine, you can try installing MalwareBytes or SuperAntiSpyware and try to clean it that way. Depending on the extent of damage, this might not work, and you may have to bring in the machine to our shop for removal.

AT&T Outage Impacts Birmingham |
|
Our phones have been busy this afternoon from customers wondering if their network crashed. Apparently AT&T Internet and Mail services have been down pending an upgrade and it makes people think that their own network is down.
Like the Sun ad used to say "THE NETWORK IS THE COMPUTER" If you are wondering why the customers call us instead of AT&T, you probably have never called AT&T. You get long hold times, folks who never admit that their company is at fault or made a mistake, and the customer is made to repeat the story multiple times. When customers call Lyons Computers, they get a technical person, who is trained to help them via phone, e-mail or remote help desk. They get no hold times. We have realized that what we offer is a coveted service.

SQL Server 2008: Saving Changes Not Permitted |
|
Are you getting the dreaded error on SQL Server 2008?: 
Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can’t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created. 
This is a brain-dead design on Microsoft's part when all the permissions are there, and the database administrator laboriously made all the table changes, the save feature will fail. To fix this, UN-CHECK the Prevent flag under Options -> Designers in SQL Server Management Studio.

Your Own Name Servers |
|
 I have many domains. How can I have my own name server like: ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com ?
 For easier management and migration, we recommend our customers who host multiple domains with us to have their own name server. Then the labor intensive task of setting DNS can be delegated to the control panels such as Plesk or Ensim.
Registering a Name Server is not same as buying a $1.99 domain at GoDaddy! The steps are listed below. First buy two IP addresses belonging to different class C. Then tell your domain registrar that you wish to register your name servers. For Network Solutions, they have a online form For Yahoo, they will accept your request via Email. If you have trouble, please call us for assistance. Please do note that we charge for tech support in increments of 15 minutes.
