A router in the basement is not needed. A 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ethernet switch will also do the job and likely save you money. 10/100 ethernet switches run about $25 in my neck of the woods. A router in the basement would require a little more setup. You would not need to disable the DHCP...

Good advice. Remember, asbestos was approved at one time too. :)

For anyone wanting to give Linux a try, I installed Ubuntu 8.10 this weekend, and I am impressed. I can't afford to buy a new Windows XP license. I played around a lot with Linux years ago when X Windows was still pretty raw. I must say, it has come a LONG way. I first installed openSUSE and...

Good, I've got a lot of irreplaceable pictures of my son on their that I forgot to backup in the last 6 months. My new parts are on the way, I'm pretty stoked. Got the usual good deal from BzBoyz.com. Thanks for all of your responses.

Security is really more of what I was referring to. I didn't use any special encryption on either drive. I just knew it wasn't quite as easy as hooking up a FAT32 drive in the Win98 days and immediately being able to copy. Thanks for the reply, you answered my question.

My computer's motherboard/processor bit the dust a couple months ago after 6 years of service. I was running Windows 2000 Pro with both hard drives formatted w/ NTFS. I have backups of a lot of the stuff I want off of the drives, but was not diligent enough to have backups of everything I want...

Most likely culprit is bad fitting / barrel connection somewhere in the system. My expertise is Dish Network equipment, but I imagine by the age of the equipment the receiver still sends 18 vdc for even transponders and 13 vdc for odd transponders. A bad fitting or other component in the...

I would consider that to be a pretty fair deal. Assuming a DNSC tech is doing the work, lets say $13/hr in labor, probably about 2 hours after all is said and done. $4 per gallon in gas, lets say about 3 gallons round trip (assuming you live close to office). Concrete to move pole (and maybe...

Maybe your Coolsat supports more than one filesystem type. It could be that if no partition table/filesystem is detected then it formats the drive in its default type, maybe ext2fs/ext3fs (linux). Try this useful CD out, lots and lots of hard drive tools, among lots of other tools. Ultimate...

Open up a command prompt and type in: tracert Google If it displays the route, IE is probably jacked up. If not, you have problems with your connection somewhere along the line.

Does this deal include their local wireline exchanges?

Just figured it out. The laptop is B. Could not connect to a WPA/WPA2 encrypted network. Had to step it back to WEP 128 bit. Thanks for the reply.

Hey everyone, I have a WRT54GL wireless router. I have been using the wireless connection for the year I have had the router with my old laptop. We just bought a used Dell C640 laptop and we can't connect to the router. The error I receive is "Windows is unable to connect to the selected...

I'd put money on that savings going away after 1 year. Read the fine print yet?

Following link shows how to setup westell 6100 in bridge mode. If you don't have Verizon service that uses DHCP instead of PPPoE, then you can ignore the first half of the article. First, if your ISP is Verizon and you have DHCP (not PPPoE) you will most likely need to get the MAC address of...

I am working on a customer's wireless network. They have DSL service with speeds up to 10 mbps. This is a 802.11g network with 2Wire residential VDSL gateway. I am using Speakeay.net's speedtest as my benchmarking tool. Customer has a laptop with built-in 802.11g wireless and an older Dell...

Coming soon to a theatre near you, "Acquiring Satellite Signal, 0 of 5." I'll be the first in line to get my ticket

Website up EchoStar ViP-TV™ website is up.

Sometimes it goes in short waves with GMail. It usually doesn't take too long for GMail to catch-up and filter it out. Have you signed up for any new services lately that may have sold your address?

I can see how this may help with overall translation from domain name to IP address, but overall performance is going to be helped by a negligible amount. Overall download / upload speed is determined by your ISP, and in the case of cable modems, the number of people online in your...

Per the manual, you can trunk up to 3 DP34 switches together. You could get up to 6 dp34 switches off the same dish 500 using a dp quad (Port 1 & 2 to one set of dp34's and port 3 & 4 to the other set). This however does not help the distance issue. I believe the maximum cable run is 250 ft...

Most existing dish installations require a dish upgrade. The Dish 1000 hasn't been out so long that there are a lot of them already sitting on houses. As long as there is clear LOS where the dish is at, a dish 1000.2 should work (119, 110, 129). Worst case scenario would be a secondary dish...

i lost signal around 3:50 on 119, only was getting odd on 110. clear LOS and clear skies. looks like brief satellite problems. my 625's log shows several signal losses within the past couple days. most of them occurred when i wasn't home/watching.

update to the latest software, that will probably fix the missing 110 problem. it is a software bug that some of the 510's in our warehouse still have.

Anyone else having problems with 322 receivers changing remote addresses to random numbers or the modulated channel for tv2? This happens after the receiver takes its first download. This has been going on for about 2 months with the reman 322's. Is there any way to avoid this?
