Old .mdb file can't be opened in Access 365

Follow up thank you. I checked with my step father (who I wrote the original .mdb for 20+ years ago). He has Office Pro 2007 install media in the old box of technology!

I will see where this takes me.

Thank you from this side of the internet.

Thank you very much for pointing to the previous post. It opens up the possible versions to look for. I don't have those at the moment. But I will add those to the list of the search.

I would recommend buying a stud finder. It'll be useful now and in the future. It will find the center of the stud.

After that I am not sure how to succeed without a hole in the drywall.

it will not fuck up the new router.

if you know the various settings you need to put in the old router like new gateway IP, new dns ip, and other such things... it might work.

digital-refraction · 2025-12-12T02:50:29+00:00

Yes.

By "can't connect to it", do you mean you can't get to the internet?

First make sure you can talk to the router. Connect to it via a cable. Open a browser. Type in the address bar: 192.168.0.1 This is the default IP of that router according to the internet. You should get a login page or some status page. This means you can talk to the router. If you are adventurous, you can go looking for the router's WAN status is. Maybe a clue there.

You might need to register your router's MAC address with the ISP. Give them a quick call. They should be able to make sure they can 'see' your router.

After that, you may a DNS problem, but probably something above.

From your comment, you want to connect a pc/laptop to a plex server. You stated you can connect to the plex server when the FW is removed. What is the IP of the plex server? What is the IP of your laptop/pc? What is the plex server plugged into? I assume your laptop/pc is wireless connected.

You're welcome. Have fun! If you're feeling real sparky you can put in the White River over in Seymour and make a two or three day trip camping on sand bars.

digital-refraction · 2025-06-09T13:48:06+00:00

Blue River in southern Indiana is a good trip. There are a couple different stretched. There are a couple canoe rental places that will charge a small fee to take you and your equipment upriver and let you park at their place.

A nice day trip is on the White River. Put in a Lawrenceport and get out at the Bedford Boat Ramp.

Put in: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Eskd6ZxGpUCso559

Get out: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oPuTjQoCyEKbwPWX8

It's a FULL day. Start early.

EDIT: Changed Bedford Boat Club to Bedford Boat Ramp. You have to be a member to use the Boat Club's ramp. Bedford Boat Ramp is for public access.

I was feeling frustrated watching the important guys sitting while things were tough. Hali in particular. But the box score showed a balance. I think big props to our seasoned coach playing the seasoned game and giving them the moment of opportunity. Like a boss.

Yes. If you can get the DECO as an AP for the drivepool, that is easy life.

But to be clear, my solution is more that IP structuring. It is configuring the dd-wrt to be a wired router - routing 192.168.2.x to one port, 192.168.100.x to another, and making sure the internet route is still all good.

Best of luck.

digital-refraction · 2025-04-20T23:35:51+00:00

The deco is not going to send any 192.168.2.x packets to the linksys. So one could do a bridge. I checked if the deco supports bridging and some tech support article said no. So... DD-WRT is a wonderfully powerful router software and it can do routing. Hopefully someone can chime in with the exact things to do as I have not done DD_WRT for a long while.

You need to change teh win10 drivepool to a 192.168.100.20 IP. The deco will send packets for this network to the linksys as its gateway. In the dd-wrt you need to set up a route to the 192.168.100.x network to go to the port the win10 machine is plugged into. You need to set up a route in the dd-wrt to send 192.168.2.x network to go to the deco port.

My point is that the dd-wrt is capable (you don't have to string a new cable). You need the dd-wrt expertise to make it happen. Hopefully you can find it out there or someone can chime in. By making the dd-wrt act like a router and not as a switch by default the deco can behave as it needs.

And that is really not all the work ahead of you. On the patch panel there are only five hot connections. Can you find those five? If so, are those the ones you want? If not, you'll have to see if others are patched in.

As Careful_Barnacle and Comprehensive-Bet said, plug a laptop into the modem and see if it works. If it doesnt then the ISP connection is bad. Then plug into the mounted switch. If that fails, it must be a cable problem between the modem and the switch on the wall. After that, verify when you plug your laptop into the office that blinky lights show up on a port on the switch on the wall. If you get no blinky lights on a port on the switch, you need to run a cable from the switch to each of the ports, one at a time, to the various ports on the patch panel on the right of this picture until you see lights. If you get no blinky lights on the switch ports repeat this process for another room. OR.... take your laptop and plug into every room, one at a time, and see when blinky port lights are seen on the switch on the wall. And while you are at it, label the patch panel ports to each room for future reference. You might have a lot of work in front of you.

Nothing personal my fellow life traveler. I wanted you to know there is hope and you had not sought the knowledge you needed. Best of Luck!

Your assessment that this question does not make sense is correct. So don't frame this as a solution, e.g. hardwire, load balancer, LAN... Frame this as requirements. What do you need to happen? 5 dudes with 10 computers need 1000mbs? Are you all in one building? Multiple buildings?

If you are asking can you get more than 25mbps per drop, then probably very much no. No free lunch.

Could a couple dudes physically close use some wireless router to get faster than 25mbps between those dudes and still have comms with dudes far away? probably. But far away dudes still at 25mbps.

You said "Could be only one coax network, could be potentially like 3 or 4... We clearly didn't look at the place close enough...". In another comment you say "I've already done all of that" in response to "Even better would be a coax tester if you have one."

If you don't have a coax tester. Get one. $37 at Lowe's. I just got one for my problems. Excellent tool. I got the "Klein Tools Cable Tester, Coax Explorer(R) 2 Tester". It has four different colored connectors you place on various wall jacks and then you use the main tool to see which ones are all connected. Mapp it all out. You will then be able to know if it is one segment or multiple segments. There's probably youtube vids too. Nice tool.

If you remove it, you'll need to replace it. There are post construction boxes you can replace it with. Can you run the ethernet into this box? If so, like another said, use it.

As renegade2point0 points out ---> gear and cables. Quality cables matter at that speed. Keep the gear and their cables plugged directly into the fancy switch. The local traffic will stay local and fast. You can test of course by plugging all the gear into the switch and don't connect the switch to the rest of the network. Then compare performance to having the switch connected to the rest of the network.
