Laptop celeron vs. Duron vs. P3

I would like to point out that laptops drives are slow and processor speeds are only marginally important. The SINGLE most IMPORTANT aspect thing to make a laptop run FAST is to have 256MB of memory. Whether you buy one of these on the list and upgrade it yourself, or you buy one already...

What do you do with your PocketPC?

I use mine all the time. When I got it (Cassiopea e-125) I made sure to get a big memory card and then I I sold my MP3 player. This thing works great as an MP3 player, but also a video player. I watch the Simpsons on it all the time. :-) I'm looking for an 802.11b wireless card for it so...

Strange syslog activity? Who's the guru around here?

I'm not sure how he found your FTP port number, but the port being specified as '80' isn't a big deal at all. I'm sure it's either a non-standard web browser or perhaps a custom script that he simply specified to run on port 80. As long as he has ROOT access to his system, he can use outgoing...

Static Ip On Attbi Network !

I think AT&T has *REALLY* stretched its network resources to get everyone online in such a short period. Perhaps the service will improve with upgrades in the next few months? Eric

Help with setting up linux router across subnets

The only way I can think of doing it would be to have a router on the outgoing port that was pointing all traffic destined for the .252 mask subnet back at your intranet bridge for routing. Otherwise, you have to set a persistent static route to the intranet bridge on EACH computer on the...

Static Ip On Attbi Network !

Depends on the ISP really. Mine has no such leinency My IP will be different, even if I simply reboot my router. Even if it drops the line because of a sudden drop in capacatance or something... Just a few seconds with a dead line and I get a new IP. PITA Eric

wireless networking questions

Line of sight means line of sight. If you can shine a flashlight from one antenna and see it at the other, it should work. If you can't, it probably won't. I can block an 802.11b signal with my bare hand by covering the transmitter. Wood is very dense- moreso than most walls. It may...

Static Ip On Attbi Network !

You mean you payed for a DHCP setup and you managed to pull down a static IP from their DHCP pool? Sounds like a poorly configured router to me. I imagine AT&T wised up and cracked down on IP snagging :-) Eric

Can you change a MAC Address?

For someone taking a CCNA exam, you don't know a whole lot about networking. I don't mean that in an insulting way, just pointing out the fact. any address ending in a 0 is a subnet address and not a legal IP. any address ending in 255 (or the upper boundary of a subnet) is a broadcast...

Strange syslog activity? Who's the guru around here?

For the FTP spec, the destination port can be anything. Many FTP programs use 21 by default as the source port, but perhaps his web browser perfers to use 80 as an outgoing port (or that is necessary for his firewall settings). They don't all use >1024, but it's bad practice (for code...

<< Does a beefed up ddr controller beat a REALLY beefed up sdr controller running at overclocked peak? >> lol That's an interesting way to put it. can you please differentiate between "beefed up" and "REALLY beefed up". But I guess, the DDR would be faster, simply because it has a...

You can definately draw power off the lines- they're designed for that. You can run small devices like cameras off those power lines. Go to firewire if you need a higher current draw. It can even handle small harddrives. =-) Eric

Async memory confusion

When running the 100/133 operation, VIA called this mode pseudo-synchronous because while it really isn't that much different than the 133/133 mode, it operates by buffering the incoming data for a short time and denying requests from the memory that may come in faster than the bus needs...

Is 3.2.2 Cas 2, or is 2.2.2 Cas2?

The numbers mean... CAS-RAS-CAStoRAS 2-3-3 is CAS latency 2 RAS latency 3 CAS-to-RAS latency 3 CAS is essential. the other settings tend to have a much smaller impact on performance because memory spends more time waiting for Column Access Strobe (CAS) than it does Row Access Strobe. Eric

What does Compact Flash Adapter do?

Do they have PCMCIA xDsl modems

The trick with a DSL "modem" is that it is actually a router. Even today, to be able to route at a few MBps, you need a decent little processor in there. Plus, I think they consume a bit of juice because of that and the transmission. Dunno. It's an interesting question. I don't...

Let me ask a dumb SCSI question, but how can you get up to 15 devices.....

Normal drives cannot share the same ID. There is a sub-section of the SCSI standard that allows for the POSSIBILITY for drives to share IDs using LUN values (logical unit number), but most drives don't impliment LUN mapping. A "narrow" SCSI device supports 8 channels (7 plus the...
