USB Extension Cables

I have a Linksys WUSB11, can I use a 10' USB extension cable with this to get the antenna where I will have excellent signal strength instead of weak? Will the extension cause connection problems or reduce speed? Thanks, James

How to you boot and repair XP?

You can set the BIOS to boot from the CD first. Then put in the Win XP disk and tell it to install Windows. It will then give you the option to "repair" or "install new". Just let it repair the installation and "usually" all your data and programs with still work.

SATA on P4PE

What about using one of the adapters and hooking it to the IDE connector? Anyone used one of these and do they work OK? Maybe if I can get the drive to be found and copy my old hard drive to the new SATA, then maybe get it to work on the SATA connector? Any ideas? Thoughts? Thanks, James

No luck so far. Only thing I have found so far is maybe I have to hook the drive to the PRI_RAID1 connector. But to do this I have to have an adapter. Any other ideas?

How to use proxy with IE 6

In IE6 when you set up a proxy it says it will not apply to dial up connections. How can you set up a proxy that will work with dial up? Versions prior to 6 work fine and do not say this. Have not found anything on Microsoft about this.
