Maxtor or WD?

Since my (Maxtor 7200RPM) hard drive is making funny noises, I've decided it's time to get another one. I've found two that look good: http://www.sonnam.com/detail.asp?prod_ID=HDD%2DWD%2D80G%2D72R and http://www.sonnam.com/detail.asp?prod_ID=HDD%2DMAX%2D80G%2D72R They are both 80GB and...

How to determine if mb or CPU went haywired?

Did you check that the wires connecting the power switch to the mobo are in the right way? If that's good, I'd think an empty mobo (no CPU, RAM, cards, etc) with default setting should start up (connect a fan to see it)...

Dying hard drive

I've been using a new Maxtor Diamondmax 46GB/7200RPM since last summer, and it's been acting a bit wierd lately. For the last few weeks, it sometimes clicks a few times, loudly, on startup, and two weeks ago it had to boot twice to detect it. This morning, it made a screeching sound the first...

2 IPs on linksys router?

I have 2 IP addresses for my internet connection, but all my computers are behind a router. I want to get one computer on one of the IP addresses and have the others using NAT on the other address. I'd like to add a routing entry that just redirects incoming from the WAN on the second IP to the...

Network Question

If you're transfering stuff around the LAN, I would punch a few holes in the walls and make a 100Mbps network - if you need mobility for the laptop, you can always set the AP as a bridge and connect it to the LAN. Wireless is enough for sharing DSL, but if you get full-duplex 100Mbps, you can...

Differences between routers and switches

You wouldn't need to use the uplink port. The uplink port exists because hubs/switches/routers and NICs use two different types of jacks and you have to use crossover cable to connect two of the same type, but an uplink port uses the same type as an NIC so you can connect it to another...

Can someone explain the differences between a Router and a Hub?

A hub is a device that repeats the signals it recieves to all connected devices (a switch will do the same thing but reduce unnecessary traffic by only sending packets to the destination computer). A router is meant to connect two networks - in this case the internet and your LAN. They generally...

Charting d.net progress

I've been watching our progress in d.net, and I think we're catching up to DPC but i'm not sure. I'll start recording the rate and blocks for both teams each day, so I can see how close we are. I'll release my first charts in one week. Let's beat those cows! (Tripling my keyrate can't have hurt)

Lightest PC case?

I haven't noticed any, other than opening links in new windows (a good thing for me). Sadly, I can't read the forums in Konqueror with popups disabled because it has some kind of allergic reaction to the AT forums.

Why the hell cant I sleep?

I've found that suppressing thoughts and movements helps. If you feel like turning over or something, avoid it until you absolutely have to do it. When you catch yourself thinking, stop it. It might take practice, but once you get the hang of it, it can help. Of course, last week I took about 4...
