Should have read your post and I would have answered my question. I know your stuck and I don't have any answers. If you want to send me your DOM I can try to get it programed for you and send it back. Other than that I got nothing to offer.

Have you tried both the stock 1Gb image and the tweaked 1 ...

STxFarmer

What size DOM did you get as I think the largest you can use is 1Gb

STxFarmer

If anyone has images from Alpman for Magicjack units get them to me and I will host them for the forum.

Or if you have other images or software let me know and I may host those too.

The microdrive is powered via the molex adapter that is on the 44pin to 40pin IDE cable. This is the only location to pull power for the the microdrive and these cables are readily available.

If you purchased the compact flash adapter that connects directly to the 44 pin header on the board then ...

I am using the same setup that Alpman used and sold here on the forum. I am using one of his images on my 6gb microdrive and it works great.

Here are the links to a couple of pics of my setup:

Replacing the battery was a good move as I hadn't thought of that. These units are more than a few years old now and those batteries are probably getting weak.

STxFarmer

Just checked the link and all is good. Try again.

STxFarmer

The only one I have is posted.

STxFarmer

Don't you need a minimum of 512mb with the new update??

STxFarmer

When you boot off of the USB you will have 6 choices:

1: Image Write Mode
2: Image Record Mode
3: Image Record Mode (XPe)

4: Secure Erase Flash
5: Format Flash ext2
6: Exit

First off, you cannot use your keypad for number entry, use the numbers at the top of your keyboard.
You must have the image ...

STxFarmer

yeah, that works as long as you have the tab. Alpman took the tab out.

STxFarmer

I know in Alpman's image he has taken out the "Computer Name User Interface" out of his base image. This makes is harder to change the computer name to prevent conflicts when you have two of the same image on a LAN. Anyone have any better ideas on how to get it changed? I have found I can change it ...

STxFarmer

I wrote a complete set of instructions on how to prep a USB Flash Drive for writing a image to a Neoware unit. I also added the HP format tool so that you can make sure your USB drive is formated correctly.

This will be much less confusing for anyone that needs to do this now. The download for the ...

STxFarmer

I think it will but you might need to look at your device manager to make sure you don't have any issues there. If you do then you might try the additonal drivers that I have posted to see if they might correct the problem.

Or you can start out with a clean image and go from there as I have the ...

STxFarmer

The first part is 200mb and the second part is 28mb. Once you extract either of them you have 1 image and 1 text file in a folder. It doesn't matter which you extract you end up with the same thing.

STxFarmer

Look closely and you will see the two tabs that stick out over the DOM to keep it attached to the motherboard. Use a pair of tweezers or something like that to squeeze them in and it will come right up.

STxFarmer

These are specific for Neoware units. There is alot about HP here on the site.

STxFarmer

He is still selling on eBay but no TC's in awhile.

STxFarmer

You need to follow the instructions in the third paragragh. You prep a USB drive and use that you put the image you want on the Neoware unit.

STxFarmer

My guess is that they were running Windows CE or Linux, but probably the first.

Don't think you can use XPe due to the flash needing to be at least 256mb and you don't have that.

STxFarmer

To figure out how much memory and dram you have in your units go to this link:

STxFarmer

You can't buy one cheaper than he can sell you one and then you have to do all the work getting it ready for a MagicJack. He has the market cornered now.

STxFarmer

I would use the E90 then check to make sure that you don't have any issues in device manager. Make sure and get the USB 2.0 driver and maybe the network driver so you can make sure both of those are updated. Or start out with a clean image and do the list of tweaks that is included with the tweaked ...

Standard Neoware user/password is Administrator/Adminstrator.

If you are happy with the image you have on your current machine and the flash is the same size on both you can copy from one unit and flash the other. The only way you can use the image from HP for the Neoware is to use ezRemote and flash the unit over your lan. Neoware is much easier if you have a ...

STxFarmer

You need to use your search function, I posted this two months ago. Download it and you can use the Neoware software to copy your image and flash it to the new unit.

I would certainly try a powered USB hub and your problem might go away. I know mine did.

STxFarmer

Didn't think Teamviewer had anything to do with the IP address of the machine you are trying to connect to. Teamviewer assigns a unique address number used by any other Teamviewer computer to connect to another. Once you have that unique number of the TC you are good to go.

STxFarmer

The issue wtih this was the dongle no longer liked the USB port on the TC and once it was moved to a powered USB hub all was well again. Just strange.

STxFarmer

In order for the magicJack update to stick, you must write to the DOM and let the system reboot. While magicjack is running it should take the update but as soon as the system reboots the update is gone. It takes a manual approach but it is an easy process.

Reboot TC
let magicjack take update ...

STxFarmer

Once you get everything like you want it you enable the "Enhanced Write Filter". What this does is stop the writing of any data to the DOM in the TC. As soon as the system reboots it is back to the same condition and any malware or viruses are gone. I do not run any type of antivirus or malware ...

STxFarmer

I would make sure that you have at least 512Mb ram installed. Other than that I really haven't seen anything that has a lot of the tweaks listed here on this forum. If you are using it for magicJack then why have things like Skype and Windows Media player installed. If you want more than just a ...

STxFarmer

Your processor speed should be enough (667MHz) and you can put 512Mb Flash / 512Mb Ram in the unit. It won't run other things but you should be able to get it to run a Magic Jack if you can get an XPe image flashed on the unit. Since it is built around the VIA chipset you should be able to download ...

STxFarmer

Just trying to free up some space so I thought I would ask.

STxFarmer

You are right about taskmgr within XPe. I have Teamviewer 4 and cannot get Ctrl+Alt+Delete to work. I can reboot under Actions

STxFarmer

Noticed the Magic Jack was not running tonight and tried everything to get it started. Once I disabled EWF and rebooted then it started right up. Enabled EWF, rebooted, no Magic Jack. Disabled EWF, rebooted, and there it is again. As long as I leave EWF off Magic Jack will run. I am running Stroth's ...

STxFarmer

No you can't do Ctrl+Alt+Delete but you can always go to Start+Run+taskmgr and that works everytime.

STxFarmer

I know ezRemote will not find the unit unless it has a Neoware image on the machine.

As far as changes to the system, start reading. I have been using Stroth's image and been very happy with that. I am just starting to look at modifing a Neo image to get it working as good as Stroth's. I think it ...

STxFarmer

OK, here is a third way of getting a flash on your unit. I have uploaded the Neoware USB Image Update and Retrieval Tool v2.2.2 on Rapidshare and I have included a image of the latest Neoware XPe 256Mb flash (v1.4.2). All instructions are there on how to get this flash on your unit from a USB drive ...

STxFarmer

I have been able to find units by going to actions - assets -OK and it finds them

You might check your firewall, I had an issue pushing an image today to a Neoware unit.

STxFarmer

No HP image will work on a Neoware machine, even though HP owns Neoware. To get a new image on it you have to put a Neoware image on it and there are two ways that I know of. For one of them you have to have a Neoware machine that you can copy the image from, which you don't. And the other way is to ...

STxFarmer

Get the ezRemote Manager Limited from the HP site and download the 256MB XPe flash. Install the ezRemote software and then the flash, have both units hooked up the the network, and you should be able to push the new flash over to the unit.

Make sure you get the Limited and not the ENTerprise ...

STxFarmer

Been using Stroth's XP on 1GB DOM but I was wondering if there is something that will work on a 512MB DOM as good as Stroth's? I am installing this on a Neoware and the HP install checks to verify that it is HP equipment so it will not install. Is there a way around this or something else that works ...

STxFarmer

What size flash do you have in your system?? What RAM do you have??

STxFarmer

Don't know if it will or will not, I just know I am much happier since I got mine working on a TC. Better call quality and no other issues. Lots of help here as far as instructions go too. Made it real easy to get my up and running on a Neoware TC.

Read up on the router Qos and I think it help if ...
