Wow! What a kind and generous offer. I may very well take you up on it later in the week. I see you are in Virginia. I'm in California. Would early morning, say 7 - 7:30am your time work for you?

Thanks for your reply. Not sure what DHCP stands for. But I can tell you the network settings on the working pc are set to "Obtain an IP address automatically". Also, all through my attempts at setting up both the notebook and the router, I disconnected the modem's power supply for at least...

I'm a little baffled. I'm trying to help a buddy. Here's the situation: He has an older PC (I built and maintain) running 98SE. He has Verizon DSL with a Westell B90-210015-04 supplied by Verizon. Connection speed is supposed to be 1.5M, but currently on a good day, he's getting 128K if that...

Editing/remixing factory DVDs

Here's what I'd like to do for example: I own "A Knights Tale" on DVD. In the special features sections there are several deleted scenes. In some cases I like the deleted version of a scene better than the one the director used in his final cut. So, I want to rip ALL the info from the disk...

CNR Slot

How does one make use of a CNR slot? For a modem specifically. I have aquired a used MSI KT7-266 Pro with a CNR slot. There's a BIOS setting to enable an on board modem (i think). But what goes in the slot? Is it just a small card to provide an interface for the phone line? Where does one get...
