Working wireless connection into U-verse dvr?

ok, if this is how I want to set up, will it work: Since I have no phone/ethernet/coax outlets in my room upstairs, I run a coax cable from an outlet from a room down the hall. This coax cable connects to the RG, which then runs ethernet cables to all my main internet enabled devices...

Working wireless connection into U-verse dvr?

You mean to use the existing coax cables within the walls to connect to the stb? I thought the coax was connected to the RG from outside of the home from the NID, and then ethernet cables from the RG to each of the STB's? If the existing coax cables within the walls are used to connect the...

Fry's E2xxx/E4xxx Bundle Overclocking Thread

that's the same copper tape I used (only saw 1/8" in store) for my latest application...again with failure... I cut about 5 or 6 pieces before I finally got one I was satisfied with and stuck that on. Rolled in the tips so that the pins would be in contact with the copper.

Fry's E2xxx/E4xxx Bundle Overclocking Thread

I used a toothpick to apply the defogging paint. I shook the tiny paint jar pretty well before each dip, so when the paint dried up on the cpu it looked a little crusty. And it was since my first time, the excess crumbled off easily like I mentioned before. Maybe I need to apply a thinner...

yea actually for one of the takes I did with the defogger paint I actually did use tape to mask off some pins, yet that still didn't work either... I mean I don't think I suck at this so much that after 6 tries including defogger paint and copper tape that I've messed up each time. I did...

Fry's E2xxx/E4xxx Bundle Overclocking Thread

hmm thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try sometime. For people who've done the bsel mod, is the volt mod really necessary for it to run stable? Also, can somebody suggest what timings to use for memory for a respectable boost if I were to get the cpu to oc with the bsel mod...

you mean take the drive out and connect normally to sata? Well if I have the external on, and I restart/boot up the pc, it detects it normally as a WD5000AAKS drive, so it seems that works fine.

So after not being able to get the stupid thing to work, I decided to try usb connection and what do you know...it works again. There must be something going on with the eSata that the computer or the drive doesn't like. Crap I shouldn't have cut out the upc for rebate so quickly lol.
