Network Issues at Outdoor Swimming Pool

Situtation: Two computers Networked together for purposes of printing and tending of money through Centaman Systems.


Problem 1: Computers were not talking.

Solution: Not sure what had happened before I had got there but just made sure they were both plugged in and that the network connections were enabled. All worked then.


Problem 2: Centaman was not loading on slave machine, bringing up an error about "Could not find Computer Destination Address".

Solution: Again, not sure what had happened before me but the computer name had been changed and centaman can not change the computer name it looks for. To fix this, I had changed server computer back to what it was looking for and then it worked.

Payment was a Tim Tam Cornetto. Should try it.

Google and Frames Issue

Problem: The ACOHS Risk Strategies website that I am currently working on has dropped positions on Google as well as there is no link on Google to the home page. The site is based on frames and because the link is not directly to the home page, the site looks incomplete.

Solution: I have researched a lot to find a temporary solution for the time being. I have come across this site:

http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=2167901

Which gives a guide to implementing a solution. It first speaks about "noFrame" browsers and how to control that. Also speaks about search engines having great difficulty in reading the site. What I have done that has been spoken about in this article is used the line of JavaScript in each page:

< SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" >
< !-- if (top == self) self.location.href = "index.html"; // -- >
< / SCRIPT > 

What this does is ensures that if the page is loaded and has no frames around it, it will link back to the page with links in it.

Not a complete solution but for now, it will do.
