How unclog lead drain pipe?
We bought an older house that has a lead drain pipe from the bathroom sink. It became clogged and a plumber said that we should not pour Drano down it or use a machine because the lead is fragile and could bust. He would pretty much have to tear up the floor and put a new pipe in. Any other ideas or input on this? Thanks!
4 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoJust got hired, but 2 dui's on record?
They hired me but now they have to do a background check. I wasn't sure whether I should have put them on my application at first because they were driving related. I just edited the application and have added them on there just in case. One was four years ago in a car. The other was 2.5 years ago on a boat. I thought I learned my lesson the first time...Never thought I would get in trouble on a 25hp boat. Anyways, I am being honest. This is for a business analyst position. I hope I still have the job. Thoughts??

2 AnswersHome Theater1 decade agoDesktop Computer keeps turning on and off?? Please help..?
My HP desktop will start up and go to windows for a couple of minutes, then it will automatically just restart. I doesnt seem like anything is wrong, then it just restarts out of nowhere. At first I thought it was power supply, but it won't do it if I'm in safe mode, so it is probably something else. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?? Please advise me.

3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoHelp with home network (one computer wont' connect)?
My main desktop hooked up to the network is connecting to the internet but by laptop won't connect to the internet. We are running a linksys wireless router. Here is what I dont understand. My desktop has an ip of 76.188.42.62 , which I dont know why it has a class A address. My default gateway has something like 76.188. 52.1. When I check my laptop, my ip address says 192.168.1.101 (preferred). Yesterday my laptop would connect but my desktop wouldn't!! Now its the opposite. It looks like we don't have the same network addresses. Why do they have different class addresses and how can I get my laptop to connect??

1 AnswerTechnology1 decade agoHelp finding an IT job with a college degree?
I graduated two years ago with major in IT and minor in Management Information Systems. It seems very difficult finding a job with no direct work experience, since I haven't. I am interested in the fields of networking and databases. Currently I am about take my Network+ exam, then hopefully Cisco (CCNA) after that. I would really like to find a job soon but I figured if I can't, I might as well advance my knowledge and credentials while I am waiting.... Does anyone have any recommendations on finding an entry level job?? Do you think certs will help me??? Any others that you recommend??
