To connect five computers, I am unsure whether to use a terminal to host, a file server, or a client/server connection. Which would be the least expensive and why?
These five computers will just be used to access email and browse the internet. Not really for work related tasks, but for my customers.

The cheapest solution is to buy a switch or a router and plug all the computers into it. There is no dedicated "server". The only cost is the price of the switch/router.

If you buy a server, obviously you'll have to pay for the server plus you still have to buy a switch/router (unless the server has built-in capabilities).

If you need file-storage, consider buying a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device instead of buying a file-server. You can plug this directly into the switch/router and all the systems on the network can access it at the same time. (Don't confuse a NAS with a normal external hard-drive).

The type of setup you choose depends on what your needs are. Do you need to share a database? Or do you simply need to share documents? If you have a program that will require multi-user access to a complex database, I recommend a file-server. Otherwise, if you're doing simple tasks like file-sharing and print-sharing, I recommend buying a router/switch and possibly a NAS device.

With close on 30K pieces of luggage stacked packed and racked and the piece de la restonance the automatic car finder. I refer the wonderful idea of using a computerised system to find your car when you return from holiday. You just type in your registration and it tells you where your car is. Of course that is unless you haven't followed the arrows and like most people park in the first space available. No its send you elsewhere and you end up hunting for your car, lovely it is, just what you need after a long haul flight.

It is difficult to say keep it open, as it has been a joke-and not a very funny one-but if they don't keep it going, they can't sort out the problems now, then how else? 4.3 billion is a lot of money-it HAS to work…..just not very well at the moment.

I have a camper with a 12v fridge running of the two terminals off one battery on a 24volt system. An Isolator switch turns of the fridge when engine is not running. Can I connect my leisure battery up to the same circuit to charge while driving??

Its not uncommon for campers to have 2 batteries as they need more power to suply fridge, lighting etc…It cant be a 24v system if the fridge is directly connected to the battery as it would blow the fridge..its just 2x 12v batteries connected inline…So the answer to your question is yes you can…

the old system i think is a rose type and the new light i'm putting is uses a 3 way terminal block. i can't figure out how to arrange the wires. i'v found the permanent live and thats about it. i need help and advise??

If you are not sure with what you are doing get an electrician. It's not worth burning down your house.
All electricity works on a loop system so that was a pretty good assumption
the colors have absolutely no meaning to you and i DONT MEAN THAT SARCASTICALLY. White or gray should be neutrals, but it all depends on who was last in the box. any other color by code could could be anything else, unless of course it is green and then that all depends again on who else has had their hands in the box.
Oh, and just because a neutral has to be either White, gray, or marked with white or gray, that dosen't mean that it has to be a neutral. Confused? good! That's why it is important to get an electrician. Improper wiring dosen't just cause fires, it kills, without mercy.

Thought the intermittent radio function could be due to a build-up of static charge in the system. Therefore disconnected the positive lead and touched it to ground to release any charge on the system. Since then, when I give it gas quickly it almost seems to choke out. Never quite stalls, and still runs okay if I accelerate slowly, but didn't do this before. All I've done to the car is this static thing, and change the oil.
Stopped in quickly to two dealerships:
1 Toyota tech figured I had completely reset the ECU and it had to re-learn all the timing etc. His solution was just to drive it, and it would eventually fix itself
2 Another tech figured I'd blown a fuse and put the car into limp mode. His solution was to find the fuse and replace. I've checked all the fuses, everything seems fine.
Any help?
The whole thing has just transpired yesterday. Car had previously ran quite well, and too cause-effect'ish to be a coincidence, nonetheless I will look at new fuel filters etc. There is no engine light on.

What is the worst that could happen from grounding out the system like that? i.e. What havoc could I have wreaked, and could this all be fished out by reading the computer at a dealership?

I have seen fuses blow when a person reverse jumps the car, but with one of the cables disconnected there should not be enough current remaining anywhere to blow a fuse. That is not to say that it won’t cause havoc with electronics, but just not blow a fuse. I tend to agree with tech #1. When you touched the terminal, you effectively grounded any circuit in the car that is on at all times, including the battery back up for all ecus. HOPEFULLY all that did was drain the memory, but I have never seen it done before. How long ago was it? Is the Check Engine light on? If it is, go with the codes. If not, all I can recommend for now is to drive it. If it continues, someone will have to go through the diagnostic tree on the electronic throttle control system. Good luck!
God Bless!

Well, it could have damaged the ECM which controls the ignition timing, injection, etc. The IAC could be involved, but its normal function is to go wide open when the throttle is opened, so it shouldn't make a difference. It could be in the fuel system, though, like you, I doubt it because of the relationship with the other. It is possible that someone could look at the data list and find the problem, but it won't be easy without a code to narrow the field, and the ECM could be reading one thing and doing another. Wish I could be of more help, but somethings I just have to have hands on to find.
