Cant figure out the IP address of the domain controller

I just started at a new company and would like to change my domain password but cannot because I cant communicate with the domain controller. I can see it when I do a net view, but I cannot ping it because my DNS server is set to the local router IP
address rather than the DC IP address and the name simply won't resolve.
I suspect if I manually change my DNS server to point to the IP of the DC, my problem will go away. I asked the local IT guy and he says 'nobody has ever asked to change their domain password before' ???!?!?!????? nor does he have any idea about the
IP and he would have to submit a ticket to the overseas IT desk (where the DC physically resides) and they would change my password manually.
Any ideas?

Robr2,
I agree with others about the ONLY DNS that must be set on ALL machines is ONLY the DC's IP address. That's it. Not the router, or the ISP's DNS. This is one of the most common configuration errors that will cause
MAJOR problems with DC to client communcations.
Here's a full explanation with a great analogy:
Active Directory's Reliance on DNS, and why you should never use an ISP's DNS address or your router as a DNS address, or any other DNS server that does not host the AD zone name

please help me someone!!!

You can still have a photo for a text page background. Go to the layout pane for the text page and click on the photo background icon:
Then drag the photo you want as the background into the page.

Cant figure out the problem

         mp.df.addElement("how");
}I wrote this two class the output is
hi
hello
these two are printed in JList why not "how"??
is my code writing style ok?? i always get messed up with object
plz suggest me a better way of writing this code
thanks in advance

Basically you have to tell the instance of the check class that you create what instance of the project class it is that it should be checking. One place to do this is in the constructor of the check class. (eg if it is to meant to check one project only).
Moving the code that initialises the buttons and stuff into the projects constructor, and putting your main()'s contents into an invokeLater() it would look like:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.DefaultListModel;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class MyProject extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
    private JButton search;
    private DefaultListModel df;
    private JList list1;
    private ProjectChecker c;
    public MyProject(){
        search = new JButton("Search");
        df = new DefaultListModel();
        list1 = new JList(df);
        c = new ProjectChecker(this);
        search.addActionListener(this);
    public void design(){
        JPanel jp1=new JPanel();
        jp1.add(search);
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        getContentPane().add(list1,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        getContentPane().add(jp1,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        setVisible(true);
        setSize(450,180);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
        if(event.getSource() == search) {
            list1.removeAll();
            Object p[]={"hi", "hello"};
            df.addElement(p[0]);
            df.addElement(p[1]);
            c.testing();
    public DefaultListModel getListModel() {
        return df;
    public static void main(String []args){
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    MyProject j = new MyProject();
                    j.design();
}and
public class ProjectChecker {
    private MyProject proj;
    public ProjectChecker(MyProject proj) {
        this.proj = proj;
    public void testing(){
        proj.getListModel().addElement("how");
}Notice how a couple of "new MyProject()" lines have been removed.

I cant figure out the notes....

i was trying top set up the notes on my ipod but the fetures guide dosent explain a lot unless you have a mac..... and i dont so can someone "dumb" it down for me...... because it says in the feture guide to use windows explorer, the only eplorer i could think of is the internet explorer( i know im wrong) but i use firefox and i said to **** with enternet explorer

Make sure iPod is plugged in.
Start->My Computer->iPod (or drive F)->Notes|
Open notepad or something similar, write whatever it is that want on your iPod in it->File (in Notepad)->Save As-> name the file whatever you want it to be->either save in the notes folder I mentioned above, or save it somewhere else & cut & paste it the notes folder.

Cant figure out the error

public void datfileout()
try

    ArrayList holdinfo = new ArrayList();{
        holdinfo.add("Test 1");
        holdinfo.add("Test 2");
        holdinfo.add("Test 3");
    public void datfileout() {
        try {

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

TS2446 i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. how do i fix this?

i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Hope this helps,

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.
