Outlook unable to connect to Exchange Server

Hi,

I can connect successfully to the server but when I opened MS Outlook and went to Microsoft Exchange server I am getting the "NAME COULD NOT BE RESOLVED.THE ACTION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED." The correct name and username are both there.

Test results show no error. It's very tricky, and you have no idea how much time I spent on this trying to get it resolved. Also, my firewall is off so that would not be an issue I think.

I am not knowledgeable with this issue so I badly need your help. Hope to get a good answer for this.

Where to find the latest threats on computers?

I've been looking for a genuine website where I can get up to date information on the latest threats on computers. I don't want to see the actual threats but some sort of report about it like what others are experiencing.

They say prevention is better than cure. So it would be very helpful if I am able to find what's new and how to avoid those threats. Right now, I am using this link. Please let me know if you have something better than the link I have provided. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Voice recognition software won’t work with headset

I just recently had this Thunderbolt and it doesn't recognize my voice when I use my bluetooth headset. It is weird because the voice recognition software works perfectly without the headset.

I thought it was just a sound quality issue or too much noise in the background at first. So I went to a more quiet place and tested it but it acted the same. Using a headset is very important for me because I always work outside.

Anyone here had the same problem? Feel free to post here your suggestions and tips. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

VPN server is rejecting connection

My VPN server is rejecting client connections.

I have double checked my VPN settings, and I can't figure out why it denied the connections.

This works for 4 days then suddenly connections died for some reason.

I tried rebooting the main router that handles the VPN connection, but it didn't help. 

This really a critical problem for me because a lot of people at work will be affected by this.

We have been trying to fix this matter for a week now.

I have been trying to Google it and can't find anything that works for me.

Your solutions would be most appreciated.

MS Sharepoint 2003 can’t access internal site

Hi,

My internal website that was built with MS SharePoint 2003 has been working fine for a couple of months. Recently, I noticed that more and more computers are unable to access it. 

I don't have any experience troubleshooting SharePoint and some say I just have to rebuild the website. It would be time consuming I rebuild it.

One of the user reported that this the error he's been getting:

Is svchost.exe a harmful virus?

Yesterday,I used my computer and I noticed a problem. A file or program called "svchost.exe." I think it eats my processor up to 30%. I cannot stop the process because it wouldn't allow me. I also cannot restart the process so what I did was to restart the whole system to be able to check if its going to show again. After that I clicked on the yes button to be able to stop the process but nothing happened.

Is there anyway in which I can stop showing the program or stop...

Cannot connect to my Coldfusion server

Hi!

My ColdFusion connection problem started after I updated my Windows XP and installed SQL Server 2005. I created a new database, but I can't get a validation when I tried to go to Administrative Tools and establish an ODBC connection.

I got the following error:

Connection verification failed for data source: XXXX java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect. The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect

I've been trying to work on this for hours and just receiving from forums answers that don't work.
